Mono-cultures do suck. They lead to groupthink, where nuance, alternative viewpoints/actions, and growth are shunned. Groupthink leads to stagnation, which has been shown time and time again. groupthink is what convinced Putin that he

I believe that you're misinterpreting the point. It's not dismissing the mainstream because it's mainstream, but ignoring the mainstream that completely dismisses and mislabels contradicting views and evidence as "misinf

Ignoring the issues with comparing random sampling to self selection, your analogy falls flat due to the population differences. Here you are assuming a racial/sex population distribution equal to the color population distribution of M

If we started work an hour later then we would lose the extra hour in the evening that we gained by changing to DST.

If you change what time people go to work from 8 am to 9 am then you will also be changing when they get home from 5pm to 6pm. Then you have lost that extra daylight in the evening, which was the entire point of the time change!

Whatabboutism is pretty silly here. When was China a US colony? If it's ok for China to steal IP from the US, then why was it wrong for "western" countries in the past to steal from others? If it was wrong for others in the p

So your argument is that other foreign nationals have been unfairly accused in the past so we shouldn't worry about it happening? Or, is it that other nations, as they developed, spied and stole technology until they didn't need t

So you don't believe that a country with a long history of stealing technology IP would have spies in the Universities that are doing cutting edge research in those areas?

Yes, go ahead and directly compare the US with China. How many deaths can be directly attributed to each? How free are the citizens of China to criticize the Chinese leadership? The US? Which of the two country's practice organ harvest

Schools and the media have been focusing exclusively on motivating girls, so it's really no wonder that more girls than boys act that way.

Right! Surely people will trust us more if we ban them for saying that Covid-19 might have come from the Wuhan Virus research center, or that vaccinated people can get and spread covid, or that cloth masks are ineffective. Once we ban misin

Ah yes, the Fascism boogeyman. Any slightly authoritarian thing my ideological "enemy" supports is fascism and it's taking away our freedoms. So we need to strike first to remove those freedoms to prevent fascism.

That sounds like a pedantic discussion of the meaning of the word "health." What the author is referring to is the cohesion of society. The "health" is the ability for us to get along and reduce the infighting.

Whose speech do you think would have been censored though, the majority or the minority. Minority groups are always the ones who suffer from restrictions on speech. Supporting speech censorship will always lead to restrictions on minority g

I'm not sure if the article is poorly worded or the study was poorly implemented. If the study consisted of having test subjects watch a 30-second face morphing, and afterwards the subjects selected the face at the 15-second mark as th

Even the CDC admits that vaccination has not reduced spread and infections. You're spreading misinformation now. Your graph includes no sources, no raw data, and is open to interpretation. For example, fully vaccinated people are much

As someone in a population that is 99%+ vaccinated and covid is spreading like wildfire, the vaccines are doing nothing to stop spread now. We are seeing the most dramatic rise in cases since Covid began. This is in a youthful population wh

According to statista.com 5.2 million homes were sold in the US in 2007. Do you seriously believe that 30%+ of these sales were intended as investment only? Even if that were true it would have been more ethical to bail out the home buyers

The increased vigilantism is directly related to the media demonizing the police and misrepresenting facts. If the police are demonized and told to stand down by mayors during times of riots then someone will fill that vacuum. If you don&#x
