An ethnicity. Oh, this should be good. So, Dan, tell me what you mean by ‘ethnicity’? Do the Scottish have a different ethnicity from the English? On what basis?

If you want to be a serious political party with a chance of running the country, you simply can't allow your manifesto to be governed by "how many cranks can pay a nominal membership fee and log in for an online vote"

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

What does it mean to be a member-led party when the Greens have 230,000 members but only 1835 voted on the Zionism Is Racism motion? Doesn't seem like you can claim the result as the iron-clad democratic will of the membership while dismissing the concerns of actual democratically elected MPs

In other news, I am giving up eating vegetables in order to stop eating so many burgers.

It is a really bizarre image. It seems the addled Nazi also wants to take Danzig. That turned out to be a really bad idea in 1939, and I’m not sure why he thinks it would be any better now.

I will remind you that I went on to get a doctorate in philosophical ethics. Autism’s like that.

Sorry to hear it. I hope things improve quickly.

The trick is to forgive anything your 14 year old self felt was a fault they had. They were not to blame. I promise you that.

Wait, THAT’S the plot? … can we go back to hockey players on opposing teams, please?

Yes, but still played by humans. They can’t use chess engines when facing each other across the board.

Remember when Gary Kasparov lost to IBM’s Deep Blue? And the chess world kept on turning.

Yeah, in Europe a few years ago some advertisers brought Audrey Hepburn back from the dead, and she was advertising… I honestly can’t remember if it was beer or a car. Or something else.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

I’m an atheist who does not believe in any kind of afterlife. When I die, my body will decay and that will be it. But if they tried this with me, I’d come back from the dead for revenge.

Okay. Let’s breathe and relax. Here’s the thing. I’m autistic. Human social interaction is more difficult to me than average. I don’t do small talk. I often feel lost at parties. But I still want human contact!
