Feels like you're pretending that Amero-Eurocentrism is not a thing, that there is no agenda or bias to be examined or criticized. If you've ever played Risk, the Amero-Eurocentrism is extreme. https://cdn.matthewhaeck.

I love both your comments and am saving them as references to be used in a book or essays that I am working on that discusses the lack of non-selfist values in modern culture and how this is far more consequential than whether we choose a s

The fact that you responded well to all the harsh feedback here bodes well for your daughter. Also, assuming you aren't a single parent, don't forget to be good to and honest with your partner. Don't let your devotion to you

I agree with you on all points except I've never thought about humanism that way. Perhaps I have the wrong definition or understanding of humanism. But you single out "Western" humanism and perhaps that explains it. I already

It's entirely self-centered. There is no mention of relationships, love, honor, sacrifice, or any values other than hedonism. It is materialistic and only mentions other people as means to self-serving ends. There are no absolute &quot

Calling it a mind or "A.I." is confusing power with intelligence. Imagine a person taking a test. This person has the power to look at everyone else's answers, and the power to quickly choose or calculate the answer that is t

I think the first step is acknowledging what you imply: Free markets and capitalism are just algorithms, not arbiters of truth or morality . (This is also the working title of an essay I am working on) We can't have a rational discuss

I would have preferred they gave Objective 3 higher precedence than Objective 2. Though since I am not a Chromium user maybe I misunderstand the implications of Objective 2. https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogl

This looks very spot on with its clearly articulated goals, principles and methods. It seems very well maintained, has at least three major devs who all seem focused on open source and privacy, and has a lot of eyes on it (stars and forks).
