@Sallystrange In 1998, I was living in Philly, working at Temple U, and was worried (deservedly) about my prospects for tenure, because the dean of my college was ogling research groups in the wake of an HMO collapse. He was drooling over research dollars rather than teaching.

@marti Which never made any damn sense at all! It's like breeding cows with molluscs, only far far more improbable.

Spock was a Vulcan, not a human. He was also imaginary.

Now Peterson compares people to ants…which somehow takes Western culture and capitalism off the hook for inequities? Jeez, this guy is a crackpot.

@Abe We live in a home built in the late 1930s, that was added on to in the 1950s. People apparently had no taste back then.
