Interesting! I don't know, of course, but it strikes me that it could just be pure happiness. After I give my dog a bath outside and let him off the leash, he tears around the yard.

Please help me understand your point of view.

I'm sorry if that's how I came across. I'm not arguing against sympathy. I'm arguing against misplaced blame.

Please clarify for me. You're saying working at Yelp in 2016 is similar to life, e.g., as a rower on a slave ship?

Yelp didn't make her move, or make her take out high-interest loans, or promise any certain job stability based on performance. It isn't relevant to Yelp that she's a single mother. And on and on and on. So much of what is wr

See also: "no why". Paranoid psychopaths are so obsessed with keeping a stranglehold on every possible thing that they design algorithms to screw up maps, causing untold problems, inconvenience, extra costs, incompatibility, etc.

Sorry, my impression of how it is said to work is, if you deliberately devote your mental energy to something non-harmful, e.g., strong feelings of compassion for oneself or others, it seems to brown out some or all of the harmful habits, a

That's interesting! It squares with what I've read in books like Mindfulness in Plain English -- that some desirable mental states are achieved when certain harmful habits of the mind are in abeyance.

When you're little, your parents tell you not to touch the stove, that it will hurt, and the words go in your ears and you understand what they mean, sort of. You understand it conceptually. But of course you touch the stove and get bu

I don't want to be unfair to you or your argument, but I can't understand what you're saying any other way than that we should build racism and sexism into our policies and processes as a step toward eliminating racism and se

Thanks, good idea. I read it. To me it seems saturated with the insidious mutant form of racism and sexism that I've been very worried about.

But doesn't affirmative action necessitate the exact behavior we want to eliminate, making decisions based on body attributes?

OK, I can readily believe lots of our problems stem from subconscious biases. But what do you think about the questions I posed? Are we trying to create a world where we don't care about body attributes? If so, do you advocate doing th
