As a Frenchman, I've got to say I'm very bitter at this story. The guy sure deserves citizenship and deserves to be praised for what he did. The problem is how, every time some refugee/migrant/whatever you call them does

Meritocracy man.

Starting with a higher capital is luck too though

Yeah, a political debate shouldn't be politically motivated. Boy those positivists.

Well, it's fine, except it wouldn't really fit the standards of what we call philosophy today. Doing psychology is fine, but why quit doing philosophy as well ?

Actually, at least in France, it used to be a traditionnaly man job... back when it was a respected one. The it shifted to a job that's looked down on, as it started becoming a woman's job. I never studie the mechanisms through wh

Well, competition isn't the only incentive that can drive innovation though. In the case of public research, it can do quite the opposite.

While sane, it has the drawbacks of similar experimental designs : wouldn't UBI distributed to everyone have other effects on the unemployed than UBI to 2k unemployed?

Yeah, the helper who wipes Einstein's blackboard should get some credit as well. Today's researchers can't do research properly (in France) because they spend most of their time doing admin and manual stuff since the governme

It's hard to evaluate a percentage, especially since culture and psychology are intertwined. However, there's much research going on about resilience in several contexts, and as far as I know, there are ways to take it easier, how

It's just there's a Math "religion" in the West, and Math is pretty much a sort of holy discipline that's the basis of the hierarchized school system, and I guess it makes people believe such things. It's even

"men and women are different" is such a broad statement you sure could say it and then say "duh anyone who disagrees is bullshit". Here's big news : blue eyed and brown eyed people are different. As for the rest of

Maybe because these people realized meritocracy is an outright lie and that in any instance there are gender/racial/class/geographical/... inequality, or even biological inequality you right-wingers are so keen to point

Except some studies have shown countries with more equal rights country have worse gender stereotypes overall. And even if the studied were to be flawed, your "men and women have different tasted" theory is pure narrative as well.

by tnzn 9y ago
This paradox has been highlighted at another level : a study which I read in the book "Psychologie sociale : perspective multiculturelle" by Serge Guimond showed that countries with the highest gender/sex equality in terms of

Isn't "conscious capitalism" what's being sold to us since the 70's, through the "new spirit of capitalism" ? Anyways props to ur comment hah

I hope the US dissolves into anarchism. I'd move here.

I didn't do the math for the US, but in France, the class that pays most of the education (and health and etc) system (through taxes that is) is also that which profits from it the most. Since in the US education and health system are

I guess it would, but teaching financial litteracy, like any kind of litteracy, goes beyond just teaching facts. It's a whole culture, a whole set of behaviors that needto be taught. And I don't see it happening in a society which

You mean marketing tricks people into buying stuff they don't need ? Now that's news As for your question, it's mostly marketing plays with knowed biases and affects. And low-income people are all the more pressured to buy st

Not really since it's an epilhenomenon made bigger than it is by media coverage though. But it shows that, were we to have "soldes" as huge as those of black friday, we'd see the same phenomenon as in the US. Still, a lo

And the worst part is, a lot of the pseudosociological analyses I've seen of this event were uninteresting. Since I'm french, my fb feed was flooded by that. And people acted surprised and looked down on that. Some left politician

It just seems you play german board games as if you were a tenisman who doesn't count points and is surprised when we tell him the set is finished.

How is that meaningless ? Do you also consider races meaningless ? Do you consider most sports meaningless ? You probably don't like it because that's not how you learned to enjoy games, not because it's inherently worse than

France's new rule has yet to actually be applied though. You call it genius, I, as a frenchamn who works in a high school, question the viability of it. It's easy to make a law, but there is no framework for it.
