  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-escape-from-jehovah-s-witnesses-religion#/.

  for $150: collaboration with the backer so that their story of successfully escaping an abusive belief system (300 words max) features along with others in the final pages of how to escape from jehovah's witnesses.

  the text will be written by the author but will include a minimum of one quote worded by the backer.

  the notion colleges are not insanely left-wing is itself insane.

  DJS, why don't you ask cofty about his education if it is so important to you?

  perhaps you two can discuss it in PMs and leave the real discussion to the adults?

  Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism

  in the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.

  i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).

  but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

  Why are people still discussing this crap? The God Delusion is a decade old and at this point, it is just repeating the same soundbites over and over again like a broken record. Isn't it time to move on to more pressing issues???

  I think the flat earth idea was made up to discredit people who question less proven scientific ideas like whether it makes sense to stop climate change.

  philosophy is just a stupid word game. I pity the people who play it.

  Unless you have been living under a rock you will know college campuses are being taken over by far-left activists and filled with safe spaces and other anti-free speech laws. It may not be the case in a few smaller colleges (BTW, if you are teaching without a degree, I am guessing you aren't teaching at Harvard!), but it is happening at top universities like Yale and Berkley.

  Obviously, you won't learn this stuff if you stick with Huffington post or CNN... or you are so far to the left yourself you don't recognize the problem when you see it.

  BTW the problem today is that what SJWs define as "centrist" is in reality far left.

  So when you provide stats compiled according to skewed definitions that should not mean much to a thinking person...
