I'd take his claim to have read it as seriously as anything else he says.

Just tell everyone you use arch, even if you don't.

It puts me in mind of squares of cornfields, which are in and of themselves a gross imposition of human industry upon the natural world. Though us contemporary humans look at them and think how picturesque, how wonderfully alive and fertile such a scene looks.

So this is how that meowing nun thing started...

As per my previous thrown brick.

The lack of pain-empathy in healthcare is mind-blowing. I'm a white man in an excellent position to be listened to, but when I had appendicitis last year getting people to understand that no, I am in crippling pain and I think it's urgent was far to much hassle for someone in crippling pain. I can't imagine what it's like for women.

I can understand folk getting jaded eventually but I often get the feeling that many people start out not caring.

'vampire smut' is almost, but not quite redundant.

You probably don't want to know the details of any science done before... What? the 90's?

For honour, for the hive, for things ordinary humans can not understand.

The real sad thing is after stabbing their opponent the winning beekeeper dies anyway.

It's worse than that. Some folks actually reject the idea that those poorer than them should have nice things, or even OK things. This is why there are voucher programs, why so much social housing (when it was built) are ugly, plain boxes showcasing the worst of brutalism.

My point on art is that it can create an experience when perceived, rather than requiring you go there. If you listen to music, it will move you or it won't, but you can't choose (though you can lie). You can plug your ears but I don't think you can sit there and just choose to feel nothing.
