There's a sweet spot where someone understands what they are talking about but can explain it a way that doesn't leave ordinary minds spinning. People who have that skill should be well paid for it. Good teachers, for example.

If you're 'concerned'

about immigration,

& your 'worry' is limited

to people of colour,

then it's not 'worry',

it's racism.

Since privatisation England's water companies paid £88.4bn in dividends. 90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts. 90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends. Public ownership would make a difference.

When a typo in your Google search leads to new and exciting philosophical positions
AI Overview: "Dental realism"refers to the philosophical debate about whether teeth exist independently of human perception, a concept rooted in metaphysical realism. While realism asserts an objective reality for teeth, idealist philosophies contend that teeth's existence is tied to our consciousness and perception. Philosophers use this idea, for example, to discuss the ethics of tooth extraction, examining whether a procedure impacts a real entity or merely a subjective experience.
