Highschool-me was very concerned about sexual dimorphism in the brain, and had a strong need to find "biological justifications" for human sexuality and gender identify. I also subscribed to Sparticist for about a year in college, but was upset that they charged for it.

I'm just picturing the mailman approaching your place carrying a copy of Sparticist while your roommates push and shove each other on the way to the door yelling "I'm Sparticist!"

Consequently we were all hung on the cross of the letter carrier's withering judgement.

yeah totally, it's a completely impractical idea that would not work in any way in reality. still a great idea in magical theoryland where we all have a mincome and live in space colonies

On a similar note, I was convinced when I was young that building a space elevator was the best thing humanity could possibly be doing with its time and money. Surely we'd all cooperate and realize that it would accelerate materials science, plus it would be such an investment that no one would dare want to mess it up. You just need a bunch of largely undeveloped land on the equator, like The Congo...

Wait, gently caress.

When I was a teenager, I read books by Rush Limbaugh, and realized that Trickle-Down Economics just make sense.

So, if you can still access that part of your brain, out of curiosity, what just made sense about it? What makes Mr. Limbaugh persuasive?
