    What is Evil?

    I tend to regard evil as the infliction of suffering for the sake of itself, but that's a difficult criterion to fulfill in absolute terms, as I imagine there is typically some corrupt underlying morality in any given circumstance.

    Death and rebirth

    For many years, my stock response to the subject of death and rebirth is that death does not technically exist, and that consciousness must reformulate itself into something that, perhaps as a rule (although not necessarily a rule that can't be broken), is unknowable in the current body, as the...

    Daily Dose of music in Ymir's brain

    Spring is here, and in so many forms, new life has come into my own. (A good pair of headphones highly recommended)

    An interesting question concerning White privilege.

    The concept of white privilege is chiefly used as a tool by the left to mine resources from the dominant group. One never hears about "Asian privilege." In the US, Asians make more money and are at lower risk of adverse life outcomes than any other group. There's no outrage because Asians are...

    Did the ''Big Bang'' create time and space or...?

    Maybe. But it is rather illuminating to view the universe from the non-causal vantage point.

    Jordan Peterson on Charlottesville and the role of the individual

    I like Jordan Peterson. He is perceptive and well-spoken. Although, I don't feel like the above clip adequately represents his capacity or his fully-developed thoughts on the subject in question.

    Daily Dose of music in Ymir's brain

    Very warm and sunny. My pale amphibian skin is still not used to the valley heat. The AC in my room runs and drones most of my sleeping hours...kind of annoying, but the cool air is worth it. One Punch Man is the new cocaine. Eagerly await season 2.

    Should Trump Accept Defeat on The Wall Idea?

    I think Trump was totally serious about the wall, but over time, the burdensome realities that preclude its resurrection became more and more apparent. Were there revealed an inexpensive and clear-cut path to its creation available, I'd say he'd do it. Obviously, that's turning out not to be the...

    Is it possible to talk with an atheist?

    In this conceptualization of God, does consciousness have a beginning, and are the two intrinsically the same?

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Brazen political posturing. It's a signal flare to their base to display their tolerance and love of multiculturalism. This isn't exactly a culture or government I would bend over backwards for to impress.

    Daily Dose of music in Ymir's brain

    Cloudy with periods of rain followed by periods of unobstructed sunlight. The trees outside my home are in full pink and white bloom.

    I support unions, higher minimum wage and socialized medicine

    Raising the minimum wage is a temporary solution for low income workers. Ultimately, it just devalues the wages of skilled laborers and increases inflation. The key is to increase the bargaining power of the working class. When workers have bargaining leverage, they will inevitably end up with...

    What was your least favorite job?

    I worked at a Kentucky Fried Chicken for about a month when I was a teenager. One of my fond memories of the experience was periodically slipping on the grease-covered floors.

    (Conservative Only) Trump's victory represents the fulfilment of neoliberalism, not its failure

    Maybe it's just because I have the flu, but I thought it was little more than verbal diarrhea. What they really mean is that without government regulation, big private businesses will inevitably grow out of control and oppress the poor and working classes. And since the left sees the right as...

    Full Output Dynamic Range Triggers Screen Dimming.

    No. It will dim the screen when the screen content is already dark. It's an adaptive dimming. When the content on screen is already bright, the dim feature is off and it will display bright high contrast imagery. The monitor has no trouble outputting full brightness on full dynamic output. But...

    Full Output Dynamic Range Triggers Screen Dimming.

    When I select "Full" output dynamic range in nVidia control panel, my monitor will dim and brighten the display automatically. When it is set to "Limited," this feature is disabled again. Before someone mentions it, no, adaptive brightness is not enabled in the OS's control panel power settings...

    Clinton Indictment "Likely"

    Fox news cites two separate FBI sources that claim Clinton indictment is "likely" in light of pay-for-play interaction with the Clinton Foundation. More details in links below...

    The far left has pushed me (far, far) away...

    Let's lay off the ad hominem here, people. (What have I gotten myself into?)

    The far left has pushed me (far, far) away...

    Sorry...but did you just say that journalists and media pundits are "people with a lot of learning"?
