The author cites an article which itself cites an article from a known hoax site.
As a hatemonger she deserves nothing but contempt. But it's clear from her shoddy research that she's not playing with a full deck, and so I also pity the poor fool. |

| I hope he gets $30 million. Stupidity ought to hurt, and the only form of pain that governments perceive is financial. Respectfully, I disagree. Settlements don't come out of anyone's department operating budget, ones like this are unlikely to affect someone's performance evaluation, they just magi... |

| All the fear mongering about Trump might work if it weren't for the fact that the rest of the GOP field is batshit crazy minus Rand Paul. Trump could run circles around these losers, why would you be more afraid of a President Trump than you would of a President Carson or President Bush or Presiden... |

I suspect that's where a non-insignificant portion of Trump's support comes from. People so disgusted with the political scene in the US that they'll vote for a clown to signal that disgust. |

The lesser of two (or three, or n) evils is still evil.
I don't expect a candidate to agree with me on everything, but no candidate or party comes anywhere close to agreeing with me on anything of consequence. |

| The idea that autism = trapped in self, or even self-absorbed, was stumbled upon by non-Autistic people seeking to label that which they've never experienced. It's as true and meaningful as a WASP trying to describe what it's like living as a Black person in America - which is to say, any semblance ... |

| I'm an older, overeducated parent of a non-autistic child. Something else you have to consider is that older, overeducated people are more likely to take their kids to the doctor for small things. I freak out that my son isn't brushing his back teeth well enough or needs more fruit in his diet. My ... |

Well, unless the dividend is greater than 1, and the divisor is between 0 and 1, exclusive. Or both the dividend and divisor are less than 0. In both cases, the quotient would be greater than the dividend. |

| It seems as though you're looking for examples of synthetic a priori propositions. I personally don't know of any that aren't directly related to math, but this might be related to the facts that (a) I've spent a lot more time and effort studying math than philosophy, and (b) I confess that I never ... |

| Max Tegmark's Computable Universe Hypothesis could be considered a single metaphysical principle: physical reality is a mathematical structure. It "works" because math is everywhere we look. I believe your fourth question might be redundant in this context. |
