Meaning

I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realisation that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift.”
~ Steven Pinker from his 1997 book How the Mind Works [hat tip Christopher Michel]

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
