Twitter is a bad platform for critical thinking because it doesn’t allow people to reflect on things or do a deep dive. I think it’s not good for politics. On a related but separate note - many journalists are NOT critical thinkers in regards to …

I think it’s rising in the consciousness of people but change takes time. Slowly people will move more and more away from meat. Laboratory meat will also help to make the transition more feasible for many people. Get healthier, reduce resources and …

I really enjoyed episode 1. Some parts of the episode felt like a full on movie. Excited about the rest of the season.

So I had my grade 9 students create a 60 word precis on the Fact Checker article. I even had some of my grade 7 students do the same. I'm hoping it sinks in for some of them and they start getting into the habit of searching outside a site to …

Somehow I'm optimistic. We're learning more about why people hold these views and how to counteract them. WHO just put antivaccers as 10th biggest threat and it's my feeling that this sort of action will lead to more research on how to educate …

What are your main sources for this viewpoint?

drugs. Human growth hormone, steroids, etc. All or many of the male superhero movie actors are doing it now. It’s getting to be a serious problem.

At times the science says no shoes is fastest. While cyclists get a great cardio workout, our bones don’t get enough shock and can actually get thinner. The jarring of running helps to strengthen our bones. Recent research found that contrary to …

That's so creative. I was just driving throught the midwest states last week and saw a huge open pit in a desert beside the highway. I was wondering what the heck they were going to do with that huge hole. Here's one solution... Could be more …

I certainly would trust the car over my own driving and in 32 years of driving I've never hit another person. I think I trust technology and science much more than the many mistakes I know I make while driving. I think the Dunning-Kruger effect …

Some kids come to kindergarten having read hundreds of books with their parent or parents, other kids come not having read any. That's the basis for most of the difference between kids. Certainly their are other learning challenges as you've …

Bill Gates knows what worldwide problems to focus on and seems to have great people he takes advice from. I'm thinking he knows what he is talking about a heck of a lot more than the Luddite president and many other world leaders. Fusion is too far …

Thanks. I'm going to get one of those.

We'll have to decide what reasonable risk is. How many deaths are acceptable per so many miles of driving. If it's twice as safe as humans would be accept it? 10X safer? At what point should we allow it on the roads? If one company's approach is …

Cool. I guess kids get a reward and not just an intrinsic reward. I think I'd be more motivated too. Have to try that.

You should contact the company and ask why? What is their policy and reasoning. I'm sure it's available and they want to make people accepting so they would listen to your quiry with interest.

Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video of 3 Youtubers who evaluate products. Mostly technical gadgets for cycling and exercising. Things like power meters, smart watches, GPS trackers and such. They were talking about how they change their …

Availability and dealer support is....lacking.

flash cards is the best bang for your buck but kids seem to vary on which programs they prefer. I think interacting and learning with other people is the most enjoyable for kids. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I read a bunch of his books when I was fairly young. Changed my life.

Did you check out dcrainmaker's reviews before purchasing it?

I didn't want to really see the movie but gave in to my girlfriend. It was about as good/bad as I thought it would be. I maybe set myself up to not like it much...

That makes a lot of sense. It just isn't very practical for a single person to drive around in something that weighs thousands of pounds.

I just drove over 5300 miles last week and I want an autonomous vehicle now. Driving sucks.
