I mean, you just answered your own question. The far left, and I don't mean just the "American-brand" of it, is very much focused on removing the categorization of individual identity - dismantling the concepts of race, sex,

Rather than leaving it up to mystic interpretation, can you point out what is wrong with the sentiment "Intersectionality requires obsessive categorization"? I assume this is what you're talking about given the parent comment

Intersectionality paradoxically requires obsessive categorization while being promoted by those who are obsessive generalists

I agree, I vividly remember how bad some conversations used to get, to the point of ignoring or justifying certain atrocities, and I have seen that the acts of groups such as the-one-that-shall-not-be-named confined largely to certain count

You are conflating the alignment based on a subset of shared goals with shared origins. Capitalists supported "some" of the things early Nazi Germany was doing, that doesn't mean the Nazi purpose was to combat socialism (alth

I liken far left extremism to descending from obsessive generalization, and far right extremism descending from obsessive categorization - from the latter of which emerges hierarchies, divisions based on things like race or genetics, and pi

>"The puppet master of them was the classic capitalism that deeply fear a thing: socialism. Those regimes ware created just to stop socialism, for the sake of big capitals" I think this is a sorely misguided view, and if we had

It seems evident, to me at least, that Asimov views "arms-length extremism" as a core part of the identity of upper case Leftism, at least in the West (and predominantly America). The way Asimov approaches 1984 appears to be the b

Based on your appearance? No, but you should be concerned for personal safety in an area with 200%× the national violent crime average, seems ridiculous not to.

I have largely been critical of machine learning for some time, I don't think it will crash though. I feel many people have been misled on what deep learning and machine learning actually do and therefore become confused on its limitat

I don't get how a lot of the things in this thread are hostile or a problem, case in point this example. It's definitely an argument that Windows functions aren't very customizable, but at the end of the day it is a Microsoft

Politicizing it has almost nothing to do with whether or not it is believed, it is politicized when it has value on a political scale. Saying Country A has lower impact on the climate than Country B and therefore A should limit its producti

Simple fix: allow users to save video only if logged in (could prime with a CTA). Right now you cant save any video from reddit, not just nsfw, not even from the app. This would incentivize people to create an account since its easier and l

I think it's because you don't understand quite how powerful the smallpox and polio vaccines are. I can walk around wherever I want with 0 concern of transmitting some dormant smallpox or polio. I don't see why people are com

There shouldn't be a debate about it in the first place. If you want an even higher chance of not dying if you manage to catch the virus, get the vaccine. If you care about reducing the spread, wear the mask. I don't see why eithe

Yes but where did I say anything to the contrary? If you don't have COVID, there is a 0% chance of you transmitting the disease. Regardless of if you've had it before or not, once you get the vaccine you now have a > 0% chance

I don't see how any of this is relevant to my comment? I never said the vaccination doesn't work

by michannne 5y ago
You are looking at things from the perspective of being vaccinated. Yeah you are fine because you got vaccinated. But because you are vaccinated, you now pose a risk to all unvaccinated people because you now have a non-zero chance of trans

by michannne 5y ago
You can still transmit the disease after getting vaccinated. Maybe if it was like the flu vaccine I'd understand, but it's not. I much prefer the mask mandate and the mask mandate is the only thing that makes sense, at least until

It isn't against the law necessarily, as obscenity laws in the US only make it illegal if the medium is an image depicting a child and there is no artistic purpose (very vague). Regardless, It annoys me when organizations do this when

Diet is most important, you can exercise as much as you want but if you're eating 2 Big Macs for every meal you won't last long on this Earth. Most diets I agree are supplements that are designed to make people "feel good&quo

Right. AFAIK there is no universal Math deity like there is Caissa for chess that can serve as a representation of "perfect math", God is the next best thing.
