You brought up “racism” when you cracked about gp somehow displaying anti-American racism. Suggesting uneducated immigrants are a major problem is a common trope of racist discussion even if the word “race” is not specifically used. Especia

I’m quite curious why this, me sharing my own highly-applicable experience, is being downvoted. I’ll take the additional downvotes simply to be given an answer. If it’s due to a lack of clarity, I’ll gladly elucidate here. (I can’t directly

In which “third world” country have you experienced this? How does ethnic identity threaten a mixed person? Being mixed myself, I'd love to know why you think ethnic identity is a threat to me and others like me. In my experience, it h

Ethnicity is just one aspect of diversity. In my opinion (in line with gp’s point), it is generally advantageous to increase the diversity of culture and life experiences within a population. As both of these are very difficult to precisely

I agree with what you’re explicitly stating, but I can’t tell if you acknowledge and accept the implications. As it stands, your statement boils down to “DEI is not diverse enough.” If one also accepts gp’s point, then it seems DEI should c

The difference is in the real consequences of the action. Which exist regardless of the abstract notions that precede it and which exist regardless of whether anyone accepts those notions.

As this article is actually on-topic, then it’s most likely because it sows internal discord. Like most minds, the HN hive mind prefers to deny and suppress in response to various forms of cognitive dissonance, such as that which arises whe

You really can’t think of any ancillary benefits to the presence of accessible nature? I feel like this sort of comment (from someone with 14k+ “karma” points) is a kind of DoS attack on their self-perceived opponents. But nonetheless, here

You're getting some flippant, dismissive responses, but I applaud your perspective and your acceptance of the partial responsibility you (and most of us) bear. It takes courage, introspection, selflessness, and a broader, empathic worl

There’s plenty of people who create without external reward. Or simply for the most minimal of external rewards: recognition and respect. Or for the purest: seeing others live longer and happier as a result.

Summarization is generally not copyright infringement. Private copying and transference, even once for a friend, is copyright infringement. I don’t necessarily agree with this, but it is true nonetheless.

Anarchism is not just “no government”, but rather “no rulers”. Leftist anarchists are acutely aware that power and capital accumulation go hand-in-hand. Extreme libertarians are perfectly fine with the unfettered accumulation of capital and

My belief doesn’t matter. Without proof that it is advantageous in a given scenario, I would never prefer to be overwhelmed in deadly combat. And I doubt you would either. If you believe you would, please present an example scenario.

You’re suggesting there are real deadly combat scenarios where it is beneficial to have your OODA loop compromised. Ok maybe you’re right, given the infinite possibilities. But until you can present at least one such example scenario, no in

Overwhelming an enemy involves getting inside their OODA loop. I can't see a real life-or-death scenario, outside of training, where you'd want your enemy to successfully get inside your OODA loop and disrupt your flow and rhythm,
