Given the nature of what Okta does, is this going to kill them? It's like the business version of a headshot.

Even if they're wrong, the careful introspection implies good faith, and this should become apparent by how a person talks about their beliefs, especially wrt to their acknowledgements about other peoples beliefs and feelings. I think

I think if people hold secret beliefs in their hearts, and those beliefs have been carefully introspected and are not coming from a place of ignorance or hate, then people need to express them, no matter what they are.

I'm trying to understand your response. Are you saying that most magical thinking, here and elsewhere, is a result of "them" (rich people?) trying to keep the population under control? Is there no grassroots element to magica

To me, it feels kind of like the poster is agitated that the article focuses another country's problems, which elicited the kneejerk response about "Americans", "Christians" and "lazy journalism", as if to

That possible, and why I said "willing to challenge." There isn't much effective difference between proclaiming something because you believe it, and proclaiming something because you're afraid of repercussions or aliena

What does "but what about Christians?" have to do with the question of how we should address magical thinking in academia? Unless you are saying it's not a problem because Americans have the exact same problem?

Your response was roughly "if you think you know better, go out there and show us how superior your way is." It was condescending and, from my read, doesn't highlight any false assumptions.

Wrt Daniel Shaver, from my experience, most people that I know just didn't care very much. It's sad, it shouldn't have gone down like that (much like many other instances), but at the end of the day, there's only so much

We're having a discussion, and I asked a fairly direct question. If your response is to stop the discussion because you think no one is qualified here to discuss it, then you are welcome to not participate.

Should my conclusion be that the reasons for unjustified police violence against blacks and the reasons for unjustified police violence against non-blacks have no overlap, and should therefore only be addressed by an identity-oriented organ

I chose my words carefully to say, not that it "isn't happening", but that it isn't happening at anywhere near the same level. If you're going to suggest that I "look stupid", please accurately represent t

Yes, to their own disadvantage. My argument is that they would persuade many more people to their cause. Is your argument that they shouldn't do that, or that you don't think it would work?

I carefully chose the words "relatively silent." As in, relative to when the victim is black. I don't see how anyone can argue that it's anywhere near the same level of intensity for non-black vs black.

>(and not that it matters, but the victim was white) If BLM wanted to add legitimacy to their cause, especially to those on the fence, they would raise awareness to these non-black deaths in the same way that they do when it's black

I think we're debating two different points. My point is about the perception of the trustworthiness of crypto by your average person. Your point seems to be that crypto is a better financial instrument.

Want to make a bet? I can survey 100 random people about the trustworthiness of crypto versus cash and prove you wrong.

I have a hard time imagining how your normal everyday people would put any faith whatsoever in crypto. It's another step removed from "just a bunch of numbers in an account" (current banking) that is even harder to explain an

Echoing the other comments about a free VPN, the only free VPN worth trusting is the one you run from your own home router, which a decent router can offer.

Reminds me of Gang stalking[0]. It always seems to happen to people who present themselves as generally not very mentally healthy, but sometimes you have to wonder. If you were the very unlucky target of some deniable, organized harassment

Thanks for sharing your experience. To your last point, I think it's a tradeoff. The number of individuals getting killed is going down, but we're closer than ever to the ability kill everyone more easily (beyond nukes: weaponiz

I generally agree with this, however, the rough men willing to do violence on our behalf are more and more becoming the quirky scientists who are very disconnected from the actual impact of their work. I think there's a big difference

Exactly. It could be built incrementally as well, with placeholders, until the relevant experts are consulted who can fill out the details.
