I've noticed it a lot in academics and women who aren't attracted to me.

So what?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

So is it just me, or is democracy simply the distribution of limited resources over unlimited special interests? And that rhetoric seems to function primarily to filter radical ideas from discourse. And I've stopped finding those things cynical at all.

Hell, back in the very early 2000s starting thread titles with "So I..." became so commonplace and annoying (if for no other reason then so many of there variations on "So I poo poo myself in public"), that Lowtax made it a bannable offense.

i have a bad habit of starting sentences with "well..."

also i try to avoid the use of absolute qualifiers whenever possible and thus most of I say sounds like something some mealymouthed academic would say in a press release or an interview or something

ending sentences with "or something" is another one of my bad habits!

Avoid starting sentences with "Well" or "So" or "Because" and you'll find that your thoughts are a lot more direct in language. These are huge passive aggressive sentence starters.

No I don't agree. Autocracy in any flavor is historically deadly for the oligarchs. Not every time of course.

I think it depends on how well each regime allowed oligarchs to play they're wealth into being part of the autocracy, but considering poo poo like the Templars happened I'll concede the point.

There's a few things that are wrong or at least questionable. The most obvious is that Muhammad received his first vision in 610 AD, not BC. I'm not sure where they got 'three thousand years ago', that goes against the Islamic tradition that the stone fell in the time of Adam and I don't think there's a secular consensus of when it fell or even if it fell at all. I'm also not sure where 'pre-Islamic Arabs didn't believe in an afterlife' came from, I guess some of them might have but a lot of them were Jewish or some variety of Christian.
