The strength of a police force has only minimal predictive power regarding violent crime in a country. The best known measure to lower violent crime is lowering inequality (e.g. progressive taxation paying for free education etc.): https:&

Is there anything factually incorrect in the Wikipedia entry?

I think we mostly agree - the deduction is not the problem of the naturalistic argument, the axiom that natural equals good is. We can neither infer deontological conclusions ("it is natural that some offspring dies before sexural matu

The appeal to nature fallacy means: A is natural, and B is not, therefore A is better. You example is somewhat orthogonal, I think. You argue for sustainability as an axiomatic value (and I agree) - but sustainability is not an automatic co

I've both actually studied the topic so know what this is all about, and watched dozens of hours of content from Peterson. His 101-like lectures (e.g. his 2014 personality lectures in his YT channel) are pretty good, both content-wise

by bildung 7y ago
Peterson is a particularly problematic source because he usually doesn't correctly declare where the science stops and his personal musings start. The Big Five in your quote are a perfect example: They have a significant heritable comp

Yes, we are in full agreement here :) The parental role model part won't override the Big Five in most cases. Parental behaviour does help in expanding the possibilty space a bit, though (e.g. an extravert can - to a certain degree - l

This is an important point for jcims' situation: If you want your kids to get out, then get out yourself. You have to be a role model for getting out - both in the sense that the kids see that you had fun doing so and as a model for th

You get downvoted because you are wrong. Renewables are fine for base load - if we redesign the power grid. "The intermittency of other sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic can be addressed by interconnecting power plants which

If the society knowingly pays the difference between market price and actual price, that effectively is a subsidy. Edit: That money is actually spent, though indirectly through health care etc.

I'm not on MacOS but find Inkscape pretty snappy in general, even with big projects. Perhaps it's not the Layers but the effects? Blur in particular is pretty slow. Have you tried reducing the displayed filter quality? This doesn&

Are you aware of the difference between absolute and relative poverty? I mean, really, take a step back and consider these two possibilities: a) Thousands of researchers have researched the topic for decades, and no one ever considered it p

60% of the median is the definition of relative poverty. This is what the NY Times article was about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty#Relative_poverty You are free to find that delusional, but if you want to pa

Note I don't disagree, but that source was on hn a few days ago and is a pretty poor propaganda site. The article: * redefines poverty multiple times and then comes to the surprising conclusion that the results differ from the NY Times

And only a few years ago, before the thinnness wars, this would have been a complete non-issue: One would just fly without the battery attached, as those were easily removable.

Decomissioning fossil fuel plants is vastly cheaper because those are not radioactive. The obvious alternative are renewables, though, not fossil fuel plants.

Around where I live a nuclear plant is being decomissioned - for over 20 years now. The labor cost alone is over €1 billion. I'd say it would be wildly optimistic to plan for €2 billion per plant for decomissioning and waste disposal.

If we ignore prepaid options it really is identical to your current bundle of phone contract plus smartphone loan - minus the loan. You sign the contract, get sent a SIM card and pop it in the phone you bought elsewhere and off you go.

IMO it would be false to not describe Waldorf pedagogics as a cult. Steiner literally said he got his insights through visions where god spoke to him. And most axioms of Waldorf pedagogics have been been empirically falsified in the past
