Hi Braeden:

All these years I thought COMMON SENSE was a pamphlet. [and certainly not 1500 pages long!]

And it was interesting to read and think about the conditioning around gender.

Hi Adelaide!

Yes, you are 100% correct, thanks for pointing it out. I was reading something else around the same time (last year) and got them mixed up by the looks. I'll edit that part out.

Thanks again! Thanks for your continued support!

And thank you, Braeden, for writing the THIRTEENTH STRIKE and the videos and audio.

Right now I am working out how to dis-attach this Rich Text document [by seeing what I pasted in]. I only know that it had a down arrow because some of the other things in it did.

In the Mac world there are three ways to make documents: Rich Text; RTFD and RTF which is mostly dark screen with a font.

And it was a good point you made about not confusing the methods of politics and the methods of science.

[but there is a whole field called POLITICAL SCIENCE!]

Science is more than one thing - we have biology; chemistry; physics; mathematics.

And computer science and its subfields.

I still am not sure whether philosophy is a science.

[and how identity affects our philosophies and vice versa]

All these have their symbols and approaches.

Back to COMMON SENSE by Paine: the first time I encountered it was in 2001 on UseNet when there was someone called Tom Paine as a username.

And this 1500-page long piece that you read last year...

I imagine a lot of people would want to talk about elite athletics.

Sciences involved in sport: kinesiology; exercise physiology; endocrinology; biodynamics.

Also engineering of all sorts.
