I normally agree that western athiests over-focus on rejecting a monotheistic abrahamic god, but how do you see this particular article being different if the author had a more global worldview? For instance the analogy could easily be adju

I work on the Platform team at my company, and so we do a lot of internal tech support. It's a daily struggle to get people to ask good questions, provide details, provide links when possible, etc... Sometimes it's really hard not

Could you elaborate about your experience more? I'm looking for a new laptop in the next few months and I'm basically debating between the Librem 14 and Framework. My criteria would be - Repairability/longevity - Privacy and

I assume you mean medical transition, since socially transitioning--such as by changing your name and pronouns--would generally be considered performing a gender even if that doesn't involve changing things like clothing and behaviours

Don't know where you get that idea, honestly. A lot of trans people certainly think that, but there is definitely no consensus within the trans community about the definition of gender. Personally I even subscribe more to performativit

So how do we decide what to study, and who funds what studies? How will the results be communicated to people who lack scientific literacy? What will we do with the results and how will they be published? With or without a paywall? In studi

If you don't want philosophy of science, don't comment on an article about the philosophy of science? This isn't some fringe topic for "woke" people, philosophy is fundamental to science and has been from the beginn

Well words like "transgenderism" don't even mean anything and are just far-right buzzwords to scare people like you, so consider first looking into what's informing your worldview. It's certainly not anything approa

In Germany I see this as basically an infrastructure problem. Most of the bike lanes are just a painted red strip on the sidewalk. This is dangerous because it puts cyclists so close to pedestrians--who often move unpredictably into the bik

As a "DevOps Engineer" I strongly agree we need to stop using the term, at least as a job title. Where I work, I help automate our infrastructure management and develop tools that make it easier for product engineers to do DevOps,

> The abortion debate doesn’t exist in Europe That's simply not true. In Germany's last election, a major issue was about removing a clause disallowing "advertising" abortions. It remains controversial that people see

Yeah and abortion is also practically illegal in Germany :( I don't really understand the legal framework for it but definitely a lot of abortions that are performed here are technically illegal, it's just not enforced. And France

Sorry I should specify that I live in Germany and 19 per 100k is almost 3 times the maternal mortality rate here, and we're already a little high compared to most of the EU. Sure if you compare it to countries with barely any medical i

I don't really care whether fetuses are people are not. The fact is that bodily autonomy is never restricted so much, even when lives are at stake. I'm not forced to donate organs, to donate blood, or even to do something so simpl

That's really a narrow-minded view on the scientific method. While it's true that the process of carrying out an experiment should (at least in theory) be free of human biases, the reality is that bias pervades science just as muc
