Ethics oversight won't stop there, though. The managerial class will seek to keep expanding it more and more, with increasingly arcane and insulting restrictions. And is the research level the right place to stop that? I don't t

If your views happen to align with the mainstream, that still isn't a reason to change them in and of itself. Being ruled and controlled by the mainstream is bad, because the mainstream makes mistakes; but that doesn't mean that

>they're almost identical to everyone else's Do you really believe this argument? It seems like a strange one to make. Our genes are almost entirely identical, so why worry about diversity, then? Besides, people like you will

I'm pretty sure the big 5 model was developed from data directly, not from a pre-existing theoretical model. I.e. they just made big personality tests and then checked how many factors there seemed to be, and it came out to 5.

Your only example here is 'masks'. The rest of your comment could equally be applied to the american left or right, depending on your perspective.

Withdrawing and becoming independent from state systems isn't giving up; it's probably a first step towards a more organic, liberated society.

'The right' holds this temporary power. But the arc of the last half-century remains unchanged: the platform of the democrats today will be the platform of GOP in 50 years. The right lost the universities and the culture long a

They disagreed on details, and yet agreed on much. Modern scientists agree on much, but disagree on many details, including many questions of great importance. There's even a good old schism in the interpretation of quantum mechanics
