    Free Time

    Why do some people find it so strange and terrible that people might have more free time? As if free time means people don't know what to do with their time, or might do something bad. If people worked 3 instead of 5 days, why couldn't people spend their time doing sport, art, taking in or...

    4 Day Work Week

    Is there any reason to, in principle, oppose a 4 day work week? People didn't always used to work 5 days a week. It used to be 6 or 7 days and perhaps 14 hours a day. Progress has brought freedom, and why should that stop? Why not pursue a 4 day work week? The amount of days we work seems...

    Potential facism

    At what point does Donald Trump become a potential fascist? He seems to demonize minorities, he doesn't condemn violence from his supporters, and doesn't seem to respect basic liberty, like free speech. “We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some...

    Is terrorism a major problem?

    Many more are killed by the voluntary act of driving, but few fear driving. So why does terrorism matter enough to worry about it at all? Why change any laws to combat it? It basically does nothing in the the big picture. Almost no one dies from terrorism. It's more of a bogeyman than a real...

    Climate Change Deaths

    If people die from our purposeful lack of action on climate change, are we at least slightly morally responsible of murder for thousands? If someone drowns in front of you, and you purposely don't minimally help them, isn't their death your fault? I wonder if we will be seen as morally...

    Top Trumps

    The Confederate Flag

    Is flying the Confederate flag significantly different from flying the Nazi flag? I'd say it's pretty much the same. The Confederate flag represents racism and slavery, like the Nazi flag represents racism and genocide.
