  • Yeah, I heard some slogans at one point and I thought “That’s sounds pretty nice, let’s check her out”. I then watched a single interview with her and I was thoroughly disappointed. No plan, no knowledge about the problem, no idea about common solutions. Not even just answering with a politician segue into a prepared statement either, just a train wreck.

    I think the green party might go somewhere, just not under Jill Stein.



  • Jill Stein has some good ideas but her party needs to spend some quality time working on a very narrow set of counties/states they’re strongest in.

    I think there will be some appetite in the electorate for an anti-establishment, voter-reform, anti-corruption left party. The US sorely needs a nice set of representatives that bring forward fresh ideas and criticism to the parliament.

    The strategy for third parties should always be to get some seats and then hope for a hung parliament to get one or two policies adjusted and voter reform as a coalition agreement.










  • I think the age was around 9 months where some where the majority of neurons get discarded since they’re not useful and babies can use them to identify different lemurs for example.

    I still think this is not the whole picture. People in their 60s learn languages faster than teenagers because they have more “surface area for knowledge to stick to” if you know where I’m going.

    Not to take anything away from babies learning languages. They have to learn to use their tongue, vocal chords and identify sounds at the same time so them being able to use grammar at 2y with vocabulary is as insane feet. Babies also have dedicated regions of the brain for speech but then again, so do adults.

    I feel the post makes a valid point. It’s harder for the baby to learn a language since they don’t know any. An adult in the same situation would most likely be faster because majority of the skills needed to speak a language are already there.

    About the accuracy of sounds it’ll take some very careful training of the adult like people do with babies. On top of that, I wouldn’t underestimate the brain, over a long time such as a year of full immersion the brain is capable of picking up on a lot of things as long as the adult pays attention.
