"We call into question the concept of a "natural world" as an opposition to the anthropocentric world and deny the existence of "wilderness.""

The concrete jungle is still a jungle, and they treat it as such. Is that not Biome?

I might have flagged this if you didn't beg so much. It's charming, and enhances the rest of the proof. Task for the love of Score, even on low-level tasks.

FYI, In windows you don't need a tool to take screen captures. You can just hit the print screen button (labeled PRTSC on my keyboard) to copy the current screen to the clipboard, or ALT + PRTSC to copy the current window to the clipboard. Then just open paint or somesuch and paste.

Quitting OKC. Tough choice. Not one I'd make. I've met too many insanely great people there. But with their recent acquisition by Match, there's never been a better time.

I don't understand why this is 1-2 players. Shouldn't this be 2 - 100000000 players?

And that requires an explanation of why such a substantial portion of your 25 votes were cast by the sudden rush of players who joined shortly after your completion was posted, and proceeded to immediately vote for it.

You say this as though you had never heard of election day registration. Perhaps if you paid attention to goings on outside the west coast, this phenomena would not be new to you.

To my knowledge, no Player has voted twice for us. But I can't help it if these things happen.

This is a perfect Everyday Life task. Too bad anyone who starts now won't have a year's material until well into the next era.

So am I to understand that there are 3 piles of around 300 nuts in golden gate park? Are they still there for the finding?

I may find myself treasure hunting.

Here are a few simple changes that would make me very happy in the coming era:

A wider column to work in for our Praxis Proofs. The skinny center column is extremely constraining when trying to format proofs. It forces images to completely break the flow of your text or be shrunk to the size of a stamp. And it seems so arbitrarily restrictive when you see the much wider column we get for our comments.

Make the Proofs you label as favorite show up on your favorites page. This seems like it's just a bug. It'd be nice to see it fixed.

I also want to say that gaining abilities as you level up is a great idea, and I'm a rabid proponent of letting the highest level players have some site administration power that SSI currently bear. So basically, I think Senator Lincoln is right on with his ideas there.

science renders all other perspectives obsolete!

What we really need is a transhumanitarian perspective.

But here's something to consider for your aesthetic perspective:

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

I will flag and encourage others to do so if it will get Max to sign up and write about it.
