If science is under attack, then there's definitely a war on Christmas.

Disbanding Bud Light will speed up their demise. That's like cutting their dicks off. Which, I admit, would be apropos for the situation.

You're probably right. I don't think heart is a reasonable expectation from any corporation anyhow.

Still, is there any other way to salvage their brand? I don't think that there is.

Anheuser Busch is hurting bad. But I think they have a way out.

They need to start dropping red pills. Start with sexual dimorphism and firmly proclaim that there are only two (immutable) sexes. Then work their way up to questioning 9/11.

They won't do it because they want to avoid controversy at all costs. But now that they can't, the only way out of it is to embrace it.

Misleading headline. They are dropping the number, but not at all dropping ESG:

“This update does not affect our ESG principles criteria or our research and commentary on ESG-related topics, including the influence that ESG factors can have on creditworthiness.”

"Which begs the question: ..."

This now-ubiquitous phrase is a misuse of the name of the fallacy.

However, we're at a point where it's no problem to continue using it. Everyone knows what's meant by it, and it's fairly natural to use it in conversation. But if you want to use an alternative, you can say:

which prompts the question

which raises the question

which makes one wonder

The Latin phrase is petitio principii, which literally translates to "request for the principle". Example:

Suppose I believe that taxes are bad for the economy, and I say, "Every time taxes are raised, the economy suffers." I didn't support my belief with a proof, I assumed its truth; I requested that the principle be assumed valid; I begged the question.

Begging the Question

This name for a logical fallacy is an interesting example of words having old meanings that are misunderstood today. People don't know the fallacy, and they unwittingly use this phrase in a totally different sense: "which begs the question...".

To understand this well, you have to know that "question" doesn't mean a grammatical question. It means a claim, argument, or conclusion. To beg it means to assume its truth without proof or supporting argument.

I like the Caro-Kann, but I don't think it's a "dominant" opening at all
