despite first encountering "love languages" through gendered Christian nonsense I do not understand the claim that the idea is unusably tainted by its source. If you believe Chapman that "miscommunication can happen because people have emotional preferences" is a gendered premise, that's on you

My mom sent me some papers that belonged to my grandfather, Darwin Randall Crum, which included a collection of “Disfrustrating Puzzles” he created

Blindsight is a crazy book. Scary, but its philosophical and scientific arguments are so often railroaded and cardboard that it's more like a roller coaster than an actual fall into the abyss.
