Passionate about freedom, libre software/hardware, environmental sustainability, and doing the right thing even when it’s inconvenient.

  • People are often advised to not lock their knees for a long time while standing (ex: marching band, or standing at attention in the military), and you cannot force anyone to have healthy posture. The ergonomics of these seats appear to take some of the load off the legs and feet, but it’s something to consider for patrons with more sedentary lifestyles. Many people believe themselves to be fit individuals until they are placed in uncomfortable conditions for a long time or experience unexpected stress. They could manage to injure themselves in some way, then find some reason to litigate.






  • Animals don’t have the same moral framework as humans, and their actions are often driven by instinct or curiosity rather than a concept of morality. If we can somehow prove that dolphins have a concept of morality and decide to act upon what they consider immoral, then I suppose that some could be considered malicious/evil. Given their cerebral volume, I believe dolphins have the cognitive capacity for this, but I’m not aware of research that proves it. If anyone has any scientific journals on the topic, that would be an informative read.

    If they do in fact have a moral compass, that leans into a wider topic: absolute versus relative morality.
