The Thirty Theses (The Anthropik Network)

We all have basic assumptions about the world, human nature, and the relationship between the two. We are taught certain perspectives as children, and this recieved wisdom forms the common ground for communication. Ultimately, when we see the whole picture, our major disagreements are squabbles over details. Should gays be allowed to marry? We assume here a common understanding of what “marriage” means. Should we raise or lower taxes? We assume the legitimacy of government, and of taxes at all!

If you’re ever in a place where you need to really understand why the world is the way it is, this is the place to go. A lot of it is very insightful stuff, mostly the kind of subjects the stoners of academia spend friday nights discussing. Be careful though, five minutes on this site can turn into hours easily.
