Re: How well did formal schooling educate you?

I probably learned at school, between the ages of 9 and 15, everything I needed, for semantic primitive conlanging, what more could I have expected... not so much the very academic subjects, but the teachers of the 70s knew, how to offer you good activities, and reading choices, if you have a Martia...

As a rightist in a den of lefties, he's probably frightened of getting his head bitten off. He was suspended recently, so a little nervousness is not u...

Re: Some things I've noticed about my own reactions to works of fiction

The appeal of works of fiction is being able to experience another person's thoughts in another world... what we find there isn't always pleasant or in line with our vision of the world, and that's a good thing, that's the point... It's by enriching our experience in this way that we develop a more ...

get disillusioned people to accept it,
