  • Thank you for writing this: I have found that extremely simplified and chopped sentences are actually distracting and more difficult to follow once they become too atomized and short. It makes it hard to tell what the thesis is and what's supporting material.

  • That is not a new development. As an American, I know that my people sometimes think of the French as left-wing generally, but there are very strong reactionary elements in their society.

  • Q&A: Why not just ban killing animals?

    Jump

  • How far are they looking to push that agenda?

    Just read their webpage (emphasis added):

    IP28 prohibits any activity—other than self-defense and veterinary practices—that intentionally injures, kills, or sexually violates an animal, many of which are currently legal because they are exempt from our animal cruelty laws.

    It's trivially easy to answer this question.

  • Language Log » Animal calls are not comparable to human speech

    Jump

  • Sure but what I am struggling to understand here is that these sets of communication elements must have been generated in the first place by the animals that use them, so this resolves nothing really. Is there something I am missing here?

  • Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Releases Statement on Israel and Gaza

    Jump

  • I don't have a term for that, but either way, equating anyone who has played music in Israel with being a Zionist and therefore, a Nazi is childish and obscures actual Nazism. There is real fascism and racism in Israeli society but it is not true that it's somehow caused by Thom Yorke.

  • Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Releases Statement on Israel and Gaza

    Jump

  • I certainly agree that putting pressure on Israel since the grotesque over-reaction to the October 7 attacks is appropriate. I can see the argument for just never playing a concert there, but I think having played a concert in Israel ever does not qualify someone as a "Nazi". That's preposterous. Israel is presently in the process of an active and highly violent genocide against Gazans. Prior to this, public policy has been generally oppressive and heinous against Palestinians, sometimes more or less so.

  • The World Has Millions of Colors. Why Do We Only Name a Few?

    Jump

  • Red, though? Blood. The colour might vary a bit, but nowhere as much. Black? Soot. White? Clouds, chalk. It’s simply easier to generate points of reference for those.

    Too true and makes sense, but what confuses and vexes me is the idea that "yellow" would predate "blue": Blue things include bodies of water and the sky (assuming the azure/cyan and royal blue/standard blue are the same color), but what important thing is there that is yellow that we need to talk about so urgently? Blue comes up with some foods, but it is rare and other natural phenomena like colors of a night sky, but I'm struggling to think of the reason why we needed "yellow" prior to that. Any conjecture?
