People go really weird in the head when they're allowed to be on their own for too long, but still have a social instinct to fulfill. It's basically Plato's cave of relationships.

I'm in med device R&D, and this is literally never a question we ask. The only questions are of the efficacy of the product and how quickly we can get to market. I've never worked in pharma, but i would be shocked if the R&D folks over there thought along different lines.

But would you be surprised if the people deciding which projects get funding thought that way?

In “The Americans: A Social History of the United States,” published in 1969, author J. C. Furnas describes the deeds of the man Wexton and McEachin would be pleased to see replace Robert E. Lee:

“In August 1831, Nat Turner, paranoid slave preacher and cunjur man, led his superstition-fuddled followers to kill fifty-five whites of all sexes and ages in an aimless terrorizing of Southhampton County in the southeastern corner of Virginia.

“The poor twisted creature could hardly have found a worse time to sharpen Southern fears of a slave rising.” Turner was tried and hanged and, that winter, writes Furnas, “The Virginia legislature voted down by a narrow margin a bill for gradual extinction of slavery.”

Nat Turner’s terrorism had set back emancipation.
A few things with this:
1) Pretty sure that it was the Virginia legislature that set back emancipation;
2) I can't find any of these quotes from J.C. Furnas online outside of this column;
3) The only other representations of J.C. Furnas' writing on this topic describe it was "vile racist filth";
4) This was written by Pat loving Buchanan.

Also, Lew said things:

sam seder did one of his (sadly, very rare nowadays) debates with libertarian callers yesterday. it's a decent length too. here you'll hear such stellar arguments like

- we don't need to regulate the credit agencies who gave AAA ratings to toxic mortgages because there's no way any company would still exist that did such a thing
- the principle of 'the right to own property uber alles' is not an arbitrary principle at all and is somehow backed by something more fundamental and mystical
- democracy is bad actually

I mean if you really believe that the free market is a law of nature, democracy is just a silly affectation. Should we take a vote on whether or not we like the weather?

This also explains everything about the people running liberal parties across the globe.

McAffe insisted that whale sex was necessarily consensual, because if the whale didn't want you to gently caress it it could easily kill you. I wish I didn't know he said that and I act out by making you know it.
