I’ve always liked tea and coffee, since I’ve first tried it as a kid. It was not an acquired taste for me at all. Without sugar or milk or anything else. I don’t understand the opposite, why do people fill stuff with sugar.

Judaism is not Zionism and vice versa

Throwback to 2008

My definition? What is my definition of tolerance?

Nearly a century ago? You’re a math genius, by your standards I’m turning 100 already.

The “open society” book was written with fascism as a background and as a reaction to it. But, of course - if only we had debated a bit more with fascists…

Go back to watching Peterson clips.
