> That's like claiming only mechanics are interested in what engine a car is running - regular users only care about the seat and steering wheel. That's probably true for quite a lot of people in those categories.

Many of the companies I work with have completely given up on operating in the EU because of this. edit: Why downvote me for stating a matter of fact?

Naturally, I would prefer to agree to disagree if you’re willing.

In your example, I’d opt for supernatural over unnatural, and I get your meaning.

It may be heterodox, but it’s what it means to me, and I’m sure I’m not completely alone in feeling so.

> We are, truly, Of Nature, not Above Nature. What gives humans the special designation of their byproducts being unnatural?

That's exactly what's being—albeit atypically—advocated for here: That even steaks are a naturally occurring byproduct of humans and cows because humans and cows naturally exist.

When birds make nests outside of their base anatomical functions, are they "unnatural"?

> We are, truly, Of Nature, not Above Nature. This sentiment has always made me question when people say things are "unnatural", "artificial", or "synthetic": If we ourselves are of nature, and these things

I still work remote, but go to a co-working space most days even if it's just half a day. Getting dressed, out of the house, and seeing real people face-to-face is a huge boost to my mental health.

All words are general-purpose, but when we arrange them they adopt new meaning. I'm not nitpicking, and just pointing out that the meaning of those words as arranged may not be perceived as the author originally intended. Alternatively

Just so you know, in photography, "mechanical camera shutter" can mean something very different from what I think you mean.

This same guy said that $2T in reparations is the least we could do to fix systemic racism. Where does it end? What is the end game? What is the definition of done when your career depends on discussing such topics?

Maybe it's because they feel as if their success is undeserved and they project that feeling about themselves onto others?

The Economist is center-right. Those theories have nothing to do with the rational center. Only the uneducated, far-right, and far-left are espousing that kind of nonsense today.

How this was downvoted is beyond saddening. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Agreed 100%. 10.6 is arguably the best version of Mac OS ever. It gave us 64bit GCD and was highly optimized for the hardware of the time. Native software of the time flys on the build listed above.

The resolution is: evolution prefers a social caste system. You're going way off into a sidebar. It doesn't matter if you think it's relevant or not, but that if it is true or not.

Can it truly be irrelevant? Our so called society may be modern based on some subjective chronocentric premise, but our biology and the sociological patterns from which they are derived are largely just as they've been for millennia.

by asow92 3y ago
So you agree with the resolution that evolution prefers a social caste system then?
