People obsessed with ”fighting fake news” are the same people who want a single narrative shoved down the throat of everyone. I’m wildly more comfortable with the bottom-up style information flow we’re experiencing now; as with big structur

I’ve been a gym rat for 15 years and the regulars I know will champion hardest for the people attempting a change. Sorry you had foul experiences, but I’ll stick to 2% of the people being in that bucket.

Literally never seen this happen. 98% guarantee the stigma is in the obese person’s own head more than anything. It’s just easier to transfer the responsibility to ”an unfriendly environment” than taking responsibility & control of your

How is it a wide range of options if you forced to say either viewpoint A or B is true, when in reality any semicomplex issue will have truth in viewpoint C, D, ∃!xP etc. Complex societal issues will not be solved within the scope of a 30 s

I can't see how this can affect the echo chamber issue in any way. Turning the "disklike" button into "respect, but dislike" hardly does anything to the substance of the general conversation topics. People are still

Good article. Would also add polarisation & political extremism is a major catalyst in converting people of good faith into people of bad faith through questionable narratives, false statistics and all the other means of propaganda avai

So the problem is not that Basecamp doesn't allow political opinions, it's just that they don't allow the right political opinions. Why am I not surprised... This whole American thought police experiment is going to end in a

Lets try it the other way around - convince me that the issue at hand isn’t way overblown. I promise to try to be as objective as possible.

Of course they would and they should, much like I would tell someone asking me to denounce white supremacy to f-off despite me being white.

The hordes going around asking you to "denouce white supremacism" isn't anything to do with white supremacy, it's a power play to subvert. Again, it helps to reverse the roles here to see how idiotic this is: imagine som

It's quite the opposite - it's a fool's errand harboring fragile employees who are willing to make such a show about a email containing juvenile name calling. You cannot build a solid baseline on an employee who can implode a

Tthe opposite of not wanting selection via cowardice isn't "select more white people", as many seem to misunderstand. It's simply wanting selection based on the criteria at hand. As long as a mob force exists that alter

People also try to ignore that Spotify did exactly what everybody thought they would do - started watering down the guests and removing so-called controversial episodes. A big part of the Rogan show charm was the fringe guests, and his audi

Even most ”normal” people (= people who dont care for partisan hackery) have lost trust, interest and willigness to consume modern agenda journalism. Where can you turn to for information in that case? The only surprise here is that ONLY ha

Why exactly is it a problem if people are CHOOSING to do something on their own accord? Other than the political gestapo having to swallow their pride, I don't see freedom of career choice as a negative.

As someone also from a small country with no power or stakes in this equation: everybody is equally being played and if you're dualistic with your side-picking you're getting burned one way or another.

So it’s OK that someone died, because your political framework is aligned with some ethereal goal of CHOP. Based on the definitions stated in this thread, you support terrorism.

This has been the left’s rhetoric for eons. They always excuse their actions because of their ”noble” goals. Same regarding policy - its the stated goal that matters, not the end results and real-world consequences of their policies. Having

As the right flirts with nazism, the left flirts with communism. I dont think its particularly surprising and doesnt require deeper meta-analysis as youre trying to propose.
