They’ve always been pretty vocal with their liberal politics. They did a whole pro-Obama backdrop when I saw them in Detroit during the 2008 election cycle. Their fans also beat the shit out of some skin heads that tried to start things at that concert.
I’m not surprised by this.

Our ancestors were social and nerds who invented stuff. We became OP when we realized we could grow crops and raise cattle in communities. Other species literally looked at that our setup and decided to get in on it (e.g. cats).

Even if it was about the individual, they’d still have the issue of: 1. Having to show that natural order is a sufficient basis for morality, and 2. Having to prove that we shouldn’t try to stride for something better.
The Universe does not care about us. We have to care about us.

I’m sure there’s some framework that handles this for you, but obviously adding extra dependencies probably isn’t ideal. You could always create some utility functions to interact with the storage so you write the conversions once and are done.

I’m so glad that I got out of my New Atheist phase in my early 20s. Unfortunately, Maher is an asshole that hasn’t intellectually grown since, at least, the early 2000s.

I’m pretty sure anything related to WWII, I always played the Allies. My many hours in Medal of Honor games made me figure out ways to take out Nazis even more effectively. I never thought “but what if I could play as one of them” because…you know…they were one or the indisputable history villains

Honestly, this doesn’t even crack the top 10 of the craziest shit I’ve seen, though it is pretty out there. When I was working in Astrophysics, getting crank emails was pretty much a right of passage. We also would occasionally get copies of self-published “groundbreaking physics treaties”
