If the only value you find in debate is winning, you have already lost.
If you place that value above empirical evidence, you are deluded.
If you present your value as truth to the world, you contribute to our doom.

Greed is at the heart of much evil in this world
It's why capitalism has such sharp edges
It's why communism never stood a chance
It's why wars are fought
It's why people starve
It's why life is cheap
It's why profits must grow
Does my opinion matter?
No! I'm too poor

Who remembers when Michael Jackson released a single about some bloke named Shayne?

"🎶 I'm talking with the man in the river,
I'm asking you to say his name,
And if you think that his name is Philip,
I think you are wrong, I know his name
I know his name, his name is Shayne🎶

Old Church Hall, Duke Street, Leith, Edinburgh.

This church hall was built in 1907, replacing an earlier hall constructed just 29 years earlier. It stands out a bit in Edinburgh as it's Edwardian Free Style design is more commonly seen in Glasgow.

Custom House, Leith, Edinburgh.

This Georgian construction was built between 1810 and 1812. As with all dockside custom houses it was built to collect taxes on goods entering and leaving Leith Harbour. As you can see it was designed as a grand and commanding building to convey its importance.

Lamb's House, Leith, Edinburgh

This merchant's house is a picturesque example of 17th century harbour town architecture. A grade-A listed building that has seen several conservationist face-lifts over the years and been saved from demolition more than once.

The old St James Church, 119 Constitution Street, Leith, Edinburgh.

Construction was between 1861-1866. It's hard to pin down exactly as different sources provide different dates.

St John's House, 71 Constitution Street, Leith, Edinburgh.

The former St John's East Church was built in 1773 as a chapel of ease and then extensively remodelled in 1843. Use as a church ended in 1954 and conversion to offices took place in the 1990s.

Citadel Court, Leith.

Construction was approved in 1961 and completed in 1964, along with it's twin Persevere Court. The tower block was first known as Thomas Fraser Court.

After becoming rundown it was refurbished throughout in 1989. This added the cladding and the new name.
