https://www.learner.org/series/ethics-in-america/ Something I stumbled on, a series from back in the 80's where they got in panelists from across the range of American generals, journalists, lawyers, supreme court justices, doctors and executives (depending on the question for discussion). It's interesting to see people from across the spectrum actually discuss different points of view around ethical questions without getting angry and jingoistic and extremely political as they actually listen to each other and compare those views.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
Raithe replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
That and the women tend not to go stark raving bonkers as they learn. Men go nuts, get noticed, get killed. You get a lot of "low level" women's groups that got kick-started by failed accepted (often under manipulations of Aes Sedai) that generally slid into that wise-woman / healer circle types. Done because it helped wilders survive, and kept providing an easy way for Aes Sedai to find the ones with power / talent without having to trawl through so much chaff. There was a couple of commentaries in the books that wilders quite often got kickstarted by channeling for a specific need, which tended to turn up in a fairly shallow array of talents : a quick healing, a way to remain hidden, a way to talk to someone distant. So again, developing healing abilities is one of the natural turns of wilders in the WoT setting. -

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments
Raithe replied to ShadySands's topic in Way Off-Topic
Heh, I don't actually know. Part of the reason I was grabbed was to handle a bunch of the cosplay stuff at the other side of the Con to enable the Cosplay crew and staff to focus on the WCS part. I was actually helping out with some leatherworking workshops before the shibari tutorial during the WCS events. Then after, everyone was just crashing for the end of the day rather than talking about it. I did want to see Tabitha Lions (ArtyFakes) rush build she'd done as a challenge. Produce a WCS entrance Cosplay in under a month.
