This is a line of thinking that really intrigues me, are there any external resources you would suggest to further read about it? Other than the Bible, of course

Churches spewing lies and hatred? When’s the last time you’ve been to a sermon? For every church I’ve been to, there’s an abundance of talk about love, acceptance, and forgiveness. As for ‘spewing lies’, I suppose you can argue that, but I

I’ve been strongly considering a split keyboard recently, and have been looking at (and loving the ergonomics of) the Moonlander, but struggle to reason paying $365 when every keyboard I’ve bought in the past has been <$80. Do you by cha

I guess I can’t fault the site’s creator for going with an established ranking, but after reading what you said and taking a look at the index it seems utterly laughable.

I’m not sure what it’s based off of, but it seems bogus to me to rank the USA at the same level as Mexico, and lower than many African countries.

United States given the same physical safety level as Mexico and a lower level than most African countries (including South Africa)? What are you basing that off of?

How so? A big motivating factor to be successful for most people is to set themselves apart financially from the masses. Edit: And of course, what would be the motivating factor for someone to give their best possible work, if the other 12

When framed as such I’m in agreement with you. A police state is mostly beneficial only to those who fund the police. That being said, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that the riots are a good thing

I would argue that the influence Tiktok has over Western youth is a far more prescient threat than that of racist economic policies. Present day is is literally the least racist time in all of history in Western countries, the opportunities

Do you really claim that it’s good for people to feel unsafe in their own society? I find this comment particularly intriguing given that your username is ‘shadowgovt’

> I think of the internet more like a public highway and not a library. I think I asked a reasonable question. I would argue that locking the doors on a library for non-working fire extinguishers is an overreaction and fairly authoritari

I think this is a very reasonable middle ground so long as the setting is readily changeable and exceptions are easy to add.

Please elaborate on how the Internet is not a de facto public library

by aodonnell2536 3y ago
Wholeheartedly disagree. People should be responsible for their own safety and well-being, and the internet is inarguably a global public library. Your argument is also adjacent, if not identical, to pro-censorship dogma, which I am against

I believe you’re conflating purpose with function. It seems we both agree that any attempt at assigning purpose to material objects or phenomenon is dubious at best. I think your reason for this belief is a complete rejection of the idea of

While I don’t necessarily agree with all the points in this article (it takes only a little more effort to make a site https rather than http), I do think comparing the complete deprecation of http to a wide scale book burning is on the nos

Why must this “purpose” you outline be mutually exclusive with the idea of Intelligent Design?

I agree with and respect the decision of the Invidious team to not close down shop, but wasn’t it just last week that the creator of Invidious said something like “If Google just asks me to shut it down I will”? Edit: From 4 days ago- http

Don’t entirely understand how the author cites privacy concerns for going NoPhone, then suggests Walkie Talkies as a viable alternative. I’m all for people ensuring their privacy and moving away from proprietary software, but the alternativ
