Friends, happy new year! I am grateful to those from whom I learned a lot, in philology, history, cardiology, theology, and bicycle maintenance. Below is the Greek-Orthodox Fasting Calendar for 2023, (Antiochian/Levantine Romoi adaptation), courtesy D. Neuwirth.

I never ever ever thought I would live see someone like Peterson lecturing the Pope on ...Christianity! Had Feynman been alive he would have lectured him on physics.

Scott Adams is a liar. I worked in banking in the 80s: it is a total lie that a heterosexual white man was discriminated against. But I am sure that dithering neurotics with lengthy incoherent babble like Adams were unfit for management, only fit to draw simplistic cartoons.

Replying to @nntaleb

I read his book and he said twice in the 80s he was denied a management position at a bank because he was a straight white man. Idunno how honest his boss was (if this is true at all) but it’s definitely painted his worldview, even though it led to him becoming a millionaire.

The proof

The most insidious aspect of racism is GENERALIZING to ALL members of a group traits or actions attributed to SOME of its individuals. [Something that rambling idiot Scott Adams still fails to get.]
