Well, didn’t read the article, but the difference here is that Starbucks clientele is, I think, much more liberal in basis, and much more “young and stupid”.

While I’m sure they could get stung by the Right, it’s not like that is their main source of revenue.

Any effort to openly organize a boycott of Starbucks would be a foolish move, and would lose much of the momentum they’ve gained by flexing the weight of half the populace’s buying abilities.

Now, John Deere, that one seems remarkably stupid, as they are clearly more of interest to farmers, who tend towards conservative voting. The only thing they have going for them is that it would take several years for anyone to notice they’ve lost much in sales, as I can’t see tractor purchases as being a high volume purchase.

You’re welcome! Here’s a more detailed video on Moses McCormick which gives a better idea of how many languages he learned and how he learned them:

Olly Richards is another self-taught polyglot who now has a business helping students learn languages through stories.

Have found the missing video of Dr. Nolan’s rather remarkable key remarks.

Knowledgeable people are becoming bolder/more open in their statements about UFOs

Dr. Garry Nolan is a Stanford University professor of pathology with a very impressive CV,* he has written over 300 peer reviewed papers, has 40 patents to his name, has founded 9 different companies in his field, and is interested in, and has done some scientific research on various issues in the UFO field.

He performed the scientific investigations on the supposedly “alien” Atacama skeletons which determined that they were not of alien origin but were just infants with major genetic anomalies.

He has done some investigation of various samples of supposed crash material.

Moreover, he has also investigated the medical evidence in the cases of a large number of military/government personnel who have had health problems, including brain damage, after close encounters with UFOs.

Dr. Nolan, who reportedly has connections in the fields of intelligence and defense, and, as well, connections to major figures in the UFO community, made some rather remarkable statements/claims about UFOs at last week’s SALT iConnections Conference in New York.

The full video of his remarks which used to be up on Youtube has now been pulled, but this article in the New York Post summarizes some of his statements regarding UFOs. **

I’ve noticed that there is a real sweet friendly thing some black men can do to put just about everyone at ease. I’d say Mr. Sing With Me is an excellent example.

Speaking of polyglots, there was Moses McCormick, a black man who got hooked on learning languages while young and made that his way of life. He had that warm outgoing manner and was fearless about wading into ethnic communities and speaking say, Khmer, to local Cambodians, then everyone having a good time.

McCormick died young of a heart condition, but he is revered in the polyglot community. Here’s Steve Kaufmann interviewing Moses McCormick:

Lovely guy and, lordy, did he learn a lot of languages.

The lady has French R’s to die for!

I’m so jealous…

Polyglot Steve Kaufmann advises language learners not to shoot for full native pronunciation or fluency. That’s a 5-10 year project. Plus if one is learning a language past the age of 16, it’s extraordinarily difficult to erase one’s own accent entirely.

Kaufmann recommends finding an accent one can manage and one which is not unpleasant to native speakers.

Here is a further, more lengthy and detailed exploration of this issue of the effects of low I.Q. between eminent Brown University Professor Glenn Loury and Dr.Jordan Peterson, exploring issues such as employment, income inequality, and crime.
