Are you suggesting I have an interest in suppressing women and minorities? The only reason I'd want to do that is to decrease competition, and I can guarentee you that I share the same interest regardless of gender or ethnicity
My comment was out of an interest in not being lied to more
than anything else.
- kristineberth 10y agoI didn't interpret that comment as a suggestion that you have an interest in suppressing women and minorities. But you might have a subconscious interest in maintaining your own worldview, wherein you're part of a group of people that 'gets' or 'finds value in' tech, and others aren't. The subconscious forces that shape the way people think about these issues are the most pernicious.
- ruleabidinguser 10y agoI don't usually find subconscious arguments very convincing. They're kind of like appealing to magic, if that were a real fallacy.
