I agree with this. The same argument can be used for the second amendment.


People try to use that argument with regard to the second amendment, they of course are in great error.

I'm not afraid of extinction. That's far too difficult to accomplish. What I fear is social and cultural collapse.


I fear these things if we do not adopt a scientific approach to problem solving.

Social science is great, but I suspect it is a little too late in the game for Obama to do anything meaningful for the Blacks in America. When it comes to being the black president, it is William Jefferson Clinton still.

But how are we supposed to solve big problems without measurements and data? Lol, so anti-science in the GOP.


Because he cheated on his wife and plays the sax? Das racist.

you've said that.

i don't think data collection is a bad thing. i think it's a bad idea.


What's your distinction between a thing and an idea then?

i meant that more as in "this sounds like a bad idea"

the thing is (mass) data collection. the idea is whether or not it is implemented.
just because data collection isn't inherently bad that doesn't mean it should be done.
