It's interesting that you mention the problem of "an incorrect model" but not the many other problems with "becoming racist". I think you may have an unusual way of seeing the world. My advice: be basically polite

I'm grateful for your perspective and your values.

Yes, thank you for commenting on this. There is a lot of this happening on this topic, being done by people who are otherwise clearly intelligent. I find it interesting that this dynamic has so much in common with the deeply religious.

As far as I can tell, your comment has little to nothing to do with mine, due to an ungenerous interpretation.

Thanks for that link, it's amazing to think this happened over a half century ago.

Yes, you have no objective evidence that this layout results in improved productivity, yet casually throw that assertion around as if it were fact.

"Huge productivity benefits" Citation needed.

Why would you make wrong assumptions about what other people have read?

Gizmodo has a history, in recent years, of this kind of ignorance. Something has changed in their hiring practices, it seems.

The top comment did not say what you claim they said. Being "no different" is not the same as "still the same in certain respects" I don't think this building is "ridiculously cool." "Out of their way

It does seem like those that admire this building are reaching. It has some nice features, but taken as a whole it's not that desirable.

I am shocked at the violence I have personally witnessed coming from those who casually throw around the "Nazi" label.
868.
by jshevek 10y ago
Is this a reference to the violence against homosexuals found in some Islamic countries?

by jshevek 10y ago
You created a strawman in your misrepresentation of the parent comment. Edit: "Does "Nazis are bad" really qualify as a liberal elite position? Oh wait I just saw your username."

Amazing the lengths our society will go to cling to our hedonism, even when it's killing us. We should be doing more with dietary solutions, not this.
