Society is losing the plot, says Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks
Re: Society is losing the plot, says Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks
As long as there are still paper books there is no need to ever go back there
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Good point. What I should have said was "Why do think they are qualified to make intelligent arguments, and pass them off as such?"Svartalf wrote:It was an attempt at rational argument? to me that was ex cathedra espounding with some argumentation slipped in for rhetorical reasons.rEvolutionist wrote:equating trust and faith is typically predictable, but still wrong.

If it is possible to fake reason some will try. 

What will the world be like after its ruler is removed?

If only 1 in 10,000 people survive the mother of all human-made cataclysms, that'll be enough for a few new communities to survive in the long term, the lack of megabeasts notwithstanding.Scrumple wrote:In the long term things will right themselves not sure humans can survive another population bottleneck - the fragile ape is ill-equipped for natural survival having lost it's stone chipping culture and the megabeasts to bring down....

The greater the adherence to a single religion in a country (as a percentage of population): the higher the birth-rate, the more punitive the penal system, the uglier the babies and the more hairy the women's chests. FACT!

Re: Society is losing the plot, says Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks
That's no issue if things go well. Religion is a temporary fix and won't last very long once ideology rises from the grave....if this is done right. Consider it part of a Seldon initiative.

Re: Society is losing the plot, says Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks

The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?
