True, quality over quantity, investing more in few is a valid evolutionary advantage, both short and long. OP should've used the term "evolutionarily advantageous on the short term in some conditions" instead of "massive

I hear this analogy used sometimes but modern data isn't equivalent to phone book data. You had the option to be unlisted and it was respected. You also didn't have your name and address tied to so much personal data in one place.

Doubly ironic in that their conservative brethren endorsed NN, or the wishes of the corporations over the notions of free speech or data equality, regardless of content or source.

If it's through "secure" code, you can't always guarantee it in the future nor what Mozilla does with this data in the future. Also it doesn't set a good precedent to proceed in this direction of opt-out behavior in

This isn't about the money or power you or I have. This is about freedom to distribute content and the agreement between the user and the creator while you're asking the browser to be the ideological arbiter of this transaction. I

I'd suggest you research the topic of negative and positive liberty. I'm all for a free and open source experience but what about the liberties of content creators? What about my right to as a user to be offered content with the k

I've had arthritis issues in the past and the best thing I can recommend is make room in your day for 30+ exercise, eat decently and invest in a good, ergonomic chair. I know it's vague advice but just a vague diet and exercise ro

I think a lot of people are arguing for accountability. Society tends to source important roles to government because it is 'for and by the people', there's direct relation and accountability there. To me, private prisons are

And I just gave a reason why stereotypes can be inaccurate . There's truth in stereotyping and also truth in being cautious about stereotyping because if we want to have a civil society, both frames of thought need moderated. Edit: Al

>neglecting valid stereotypes That's where the problem arises. Some stereotypes aren't based on truth but of individuals or groups fearing what they don't know. As I mentioned before in the thread, many stereotypes, especi

Not all stereotypes are true. People have stereotyped others in the past and some of it had to do with other people being accused of being a witch or possessed if they have a medical condition as epilepsy. In Africa, some albinos may also b

I don't consider that free will then, that would just be "not completely" free will. If it's not dependent on a history, what would be the directive that effects the choice? To me, the notion of free will just defeats th

If you aren't that "artificial" intelligence and can't put yourself in that subjective experience, how would you know that the AI's subjective experience differs from yours? Because you're relying on material o

You could make the same argument to say that your PC adding 2+2 is indeterminate because it has the same underlay of supposed random quantum behavior. But at our material level, the world is pretty deterministic just as your PC or phone add

The Nazi movement had Christian influence. Whether it influenced the movement in a malicious way is arguable but Nazism wasn't an entirely secular movement. Hitler used the term in Article 24 of the 1920 Nazi Party Platform, stating: &

Still, none of those were committed in the doctrine of atheism. Atheism has no doctrine yet you can point to many people who kill today and many in the past who point to their holy texts after they've cut people's heads off, drown

You capitalize "truth" in other comments and say we should seek it yet you don't realize this endeavor is also prone to the is-ought problem. Because man seeks truth, does that mean he should morally seek it? The principle yo

Let me put it in simple terms, moral code tends to be derived from a variable mix of reason and emotion for us. Because pain tends to make us withdraw from the situation that entices it, we conclude that pain is not something we want, ie, &

Atheism, in itself, makes no claim about "moral facts". It's the lack of belief in deities. If your whole premise of the article is based on squeezing lemonade from apples, or implying more about atheism other than what it&#x

You seem to reason that only theism holds a monopoly on morality in that it links to a higher order but atheism just as well can be linked to a moral higher order. I get what you're saying, I've been there also but I also realized

Religion just like everything else is a tool for survival, nothing more. Many religions revolve around disciplinary structures; if you don't do what is "right", it's typically viewed as not optimal for survival in this w
