> I understand what you are getting at here, but I have to disagree. My view is that state sanctioned intolerance is usually a top-down process, primarily driven by economic incentives. I think it’s a bit of both. Intuitively the comment

> Feminism has changed drastically over the years This is so true. All your comment is true, but, the mention of feminism really caught my eye. So, I’m a man. But once in a blue moon I’ll visit ovarit. It’s a reddit clone but for gender

I feel like this idea is taken as gospel. I am not sure I buy it. Especially when applied to speech. I feel like there are many unanswered questions or implied assumptions when saying “tolerant exact for the intolerant”. 1. Who decides what

Precisely! I saw an NDC Cooenhagen talk recently. I think it was called “Biggest mistakes in programming” or something like that. In the talk the guy mentioned at some point fixing a db problem. The way he described it, he was contracted to

You are exactly the kind of person that makes me use names like this. Ideas need no name. Argue the idea, not the human behind it. Or failing that, perhaps consider relocating to China or Russia. You will find their attitudes to internet an

Perhaps political dissidents in the USSR should have been more open with their criticisms as well :)

Transparency in a society is extremely important. It is a fundamental right to gather and publish information bringing to the publics attention harmful, disturbing and potentially illegal behavior. What principled political speech should be

Yeah. I think those murals should serve as a tourist attraction. It sort of reminds me of Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie was once a gate through a literal wall dividing a nation, a continent. A symbol of conflict and a reminder of war. World wa

In full disclosure I haven’t read the article yet, I will do so after this comment. But reading, I just wanted to mention something that sprang to mind. Gödels incompleteness theorem. In that case, we know for sure that we will never find a

Just reading the title I wanted to mention Henry Darger, who produced art, a huge manuscript in fact, along with a few more things with no seeming intention of ever sharing it with the world. He is certainly not alone. There are many people

A cynic might suspect it’s the same reason traditional media is bought and has value. By controlling video games, you control an important media influencing children profoundly. You teach them from a young age the lesson you want taught, it

I don’t understand the downvotes. I feel like your comment is very salient. It’s a joke now. Given how things are going, it might not be in the future.

You can’t remove politics from the people practicing science. Because they are people. But science it’s self is a process. It does not have, by definition, political inputs or outputs. > the question of which hypotheses are worth pursuin

I am having genuine trouble understanding your comment. So, what my comment did ( or tried to do ) was provide example of large groups of people being morally ok with murder, theft, etc. At least in the case of the Bill Clinton / metoo

> Western society does have a unified moral framework. Theft, murder, rape, adultery, ect, ect, ect, all end badly. You know the list. No. No we do not. Theft has been de-facto de-criminalised in several US states and a few major Europea

Will I be cancelled if I make an assumption and say the patient is a homosexual male that has been fully vaccinated and fully boosted? Or is it problematic to use statistics?

I don’t think so. I think some of the healthiest debate for example takes place on 4chan where there is very little moderation and even less civility. People express themselves in different ways. In the same thread you’ll find scat gifs and

Listen mate, I really appreciate the help but I feel like our visions aren’t completely aligned. There’s a fork button right here, probably best you click it. If you add anything I like I’ll port it over as well but until then, yeah, make y

Depends on what you want and how cynical you are. A relatively easy option would be a meta study. Pick a subject, get a bunch of studies about it and compare methodologies, results, sample sizes, types, devices used to run, os choice, etc.

> So they’re “hiring” and “laying off” simultaneously. What a confusing time. I don’t think it’s that confusing. Companies need people, they take them on board, they find out they’re useless and they fire them first chance they get. At l

I cannot help feeling like what we see in things like this is the manifestation of a new religion. My only hope is, this woke/scientist religion doesn’t become a new christianity and instead dies sooner. But even if it goes the way of

I noticed the exact same thing. I found the post on the front page. A short time after, mid second page. Last I checked it was on the 3rd. I suspect there’s a bit too much wrongthink going on here and someone doesn’t like it. The priesthood
