An email today from a sane man who finds himself caught up in a crazy world:I want you to know I appreciate what you are doing. I’m in tech and the number of pozzed out SJW folks I interact with on a daily basis in that capacity is nearly unbearable. It feels like fully 1/5…

It denotes the range where meaningful interaction (communication, discussion, conversation and socializing) is possible. If the IQ difference between two…
