Yes, I was not being careful enough. "We should kill all the Russians in Ukraine" -> "We should kill all the Russians invading Ukraine." is probably the right phrasing for the question I was asking.

by hayst4ck 3y ago
I agree-ish with you, but I think it would help if you made it clear why: "We should kill all the Russians in Ukraine" is different than "we should kill the russians who don't think we are a country." (When does con

Truth is biased. I am OK with someone taking a stand on what the truth is and the fact there are meta discussions on what the truth is is reassuring. If someone thinks Taiwan is a part of China, they are going to feel like an authoritative

I don't donate to Wikipedia because they need money. I donate to Wikipedia because I think they are a force for good in this world and I don't believe there is such a thing as a free lunch. Wikipedia is an institution that has imp

I am going to double my recurring Wikipedia donation. I love Wikipedia, but I didn't know Jimmy Wales was such a badass.

This is true across the board. Our government seems unwilling to prosecute corruption cases that there is a risk of losing. It's no wonder corruption is flourishing and rule of law seems like a distant dream.

I read Frankl's book as a depressed person who saw lack of meaning as the root of my problems, namely of anhedonia (used casually, not medically). Frankl's book is written for normal functional people. What wasn't clear is th

I have a loose belief that Thiel is probably the most currently evil man in America. I think he is the guiding hand behind the weaponization of social media on behalf of conservative/fascist interests.

I remember reading this book and there were 3 paragraphs of philosophical value in the whole book. This is one of those three paragraphs. I found the book very disappointing. "The meaning of life is to live every moment as if it had me

In the game of prisoners dilemma, they defected and won. This means their strategy of corruption is a winning strategy. It means our law has failed and we can expect more people to practice a strategy of corruption and flouting the law rath

We are ideological allies. I agree with the sentiment. I agree that sometimes conflicts an only be resolved with force and that it is better to have the force than have force used against you. Philosophically, I have some dissonance. My fir

Conflict (and war) is dispute resolution. Conflict is not inherently wrong, nor is resolving conflict. Conflict happens when someone attempts to use dominance to get their way and someone does not choose to submit, but submission does not h

Your life sounds similar to mine, and with few words, I think you've described emotional neglect. I've found myself to be quite avoidant. I found attachment theory before I heard of neglect, and I found it to explain my relationsh

Subtle art of not giving a fuck is a mass market book of questionable value, but it has one chapter with a core truth for the human experience. The chapter was on the dichotomy of blame and responsibility. You can choose a strategy of bla

Everyone has an agenda. "Having an agenda" just means "disagrees with me." It's like neutral. If the news reported only what you consider the truth, you would consider it a neutral source. If you watch fox, NPR has

FWIW, I agree that the terminology is unpleasant and reeks of internet language-isms like "the top 10 ways...". I feel like there is probably a book or MBA like class that teaches that this is the way to promote your articles onli

1Password is making choices for the business at the cost of security. Sucking people's password vaults into their cloud is very not cool. Additionally removing the local vault only option is another business first decision. It's o
