@pzmyers "Yeah, that's right. Octopuses. And you know how they mate? I'll wait while you Wikipedia that. [mimes reading phone] "...solitary when not mating... lifespan is limited by reproduction..." So, if Jordan Peterson were honest, he'd say that by his logic, we should all live alone, fuck once and then die."

Octopuses."

@pzmyers And in looking for that, I found this, which I don't think I've beaten yet for succinctness: https://www.sunclipse.org/?p=2318
@pzmyers Don't forget the time when Pinker actively set back the cause of physics education, by mistreating science in exactly the way Sokal criticized postmodern literary types for: https://www.sunclipse.org/?p=2230

I was helping some friends move when my intermittently bad knee started going twingey and then getting painful, so I had to take a break. And now I feel useless and unhelpful.
Wow, a suuuuuuuuuper bright sundog and parhelic arc just appeared!!!
If you ever feel too cocky about yourself there is no better way to ground yourself than by finding an old cache of your old homework.
Good God, it's a wonder anyone lets me near computers.
Current gender: Non-practicing male.
I was raised culturally male, but never really practiced, y'know? Still, my parents were not super happy when I decided to convert.
