We will limit this blog to comments on philosophy, religion, theology, economics, sociology, history, physics, mathematics, politics, current events, computers, sports, art, culture, programming languages, nightlife, travel, artificial intelligence, ethics, food, and secret sex tips gleaned from years spent with various Himalayan masters. So don't expect it to cover everything.
I was reading a WSJ story today and was stunned to learn that Afghanistan has a larger population than Iraq. (It's 31.9 million compared to Iraq's 27.5 million.)

I'm not shocked, but I think if I had been asked which country had the largest population, I would have guessed Iraq.
I still think of Afghanistan as opium agrarian, but I think of Iraq as sandy, even though I know the south can be swampy.
yeah, yeah, yeah, I meant larger
Luck for me, I've known that for a long time. I also know that Iran's population is twice as large as Iraq's.
There's gotta be a habituating drug you can grow in sand, and IT'S UP TO US TO FIND IT FOR THEM!
