The answer is fewer people. I can't see any reason to encourage a rising population, even while I see one has to be careful about encouraging a decreasing population. Nonetheless, engineering for population growth--even if it works--do

We do this on occasion if we’ve run out of pods, it recipe calls for some salt as well. It works INCREDIBLY well.

In the other hand, being forced to navigate the willful delusions of so many makes the world a harder, less prosperous, and less kind place.

Excellent. This is pretty much my reasoning as well. On your third point, I use a different angle which is “religious explanations don’t outperform no explanation at all” in a nutshell. But I love it, this progression really helped me put a

No idea. It is informative, though, for people to have a good idea about how long their monument will last. It's not forever!

In my family's plot there is a 100+ year old stone that's never been readable in my lifetime. We were always curious. Recently visiting now with kids, it dawned on me standing there that we could rub it with one of their crayons.

Contextually, that’s nonsense.

That’s very compelling and sad.

Yes, hopefully it will become so abhorrent that it will be obvious even to teenagers that race “jokes” aren’t acceptable.

Yeah, exactly. Very similar to my experience during Covid lockdown. Our school is amazing too, but the kids really should only be there for like 4 hours rather than 7. It’s too grueling and doesn’t let them free enough. Of course, for most

People have a hard time admitting that the normal school experience is often a negative socialization experience. When it's good, it's good, but it should be obvious that alternatives can also be good.

What do you dislike about it? I enjoyed Linux desktop for many years, and then spent almost 10 years on OSX enjoying that, and now I've been on Windows 10 for a couple years and find it just fine. It's completely out of my way, do

This is an excellent counter point to that letter specifically, and to the specious, whining right-wing agitators, in general.

Because decrying the loss of ethnic purity is a negative signal. History and reason should make one weary of such statements.

Right, one is ineffectual and the other is a successful boycott. I’m surprised to learn in this thread and a previous one on cancel culture that the anti-pc crowd really doesn’t have a leg to stand on. These complaints are meaningless.

It’s a good question. Maybe a Dem POTUS rallying against cops as they try to stop protestors from confiscating and destroying various means of production?

What follows is what got him in trouble and these are untruths more Orwellian than what you accuse CSHL and the PC crowd of: told a British journalist that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social poli

Any idea where to get the lecture videos for CS144?

No, it’s a very important and basic question: what does it mean to treat someone’s gender identity irrespective of their genital status. I don’t know the answers, this isn’t one of my main issues that I follow, but it’s pretty clear the que

Well, it makes sense to ask the question whether that’s bigotry, and I completely understand why a mob may form when the mainstream can’t even hear the discussion, which is what the article and your comment display. To be first worried abou

I’m failing to see how that’s a sensible comparison.

Exactly. The parent to your reply typifies the intellectual dishonesty we’re seeing in the anti-protest efforts. It’s really pathetic.

Culture cancels abhorrent ideas, same as it ever was. Notice how it’s COMPLETELY unacceptable to suggest slavery should be made legal. Or children sent to work in factories. All commonplace 150 years ago and we only benefit from the ideas b

Surely the just-world fallacy is at play at here. We tend to attribute fault to those unfortunate in order to preserve a belief that the world is just; we get what we deserve. Of course that’s ridiculous, but we think it anyway. https:&#x2

If we don’t cap out at some reasonable population, it seems to me we’ll lose basically all of the natural world long before the Earth can no longer support us through industrial agriculture and technology. I don’t like that trade-off. The e
