It's the people. Driven to do bad out of fear. Tech is capitalism at its best and worst, with the best being bad for a lot of people. Self imposed hardship and self sacrifice is the name of the pursuit. Everyone is a chaser. You then h

For other's it may be, but I was responding to a blatant miscategorization which was attacking his identity, not his work. And this is just how I write. If dissing someone is allowed then why isn't praising them? And praising them

Well, actually this is the publication record of an influential social scientist. JDP is the most influential social scientist of our times, bar none. This is his publication record. That makes this the publication record of an influential

Why would you be offended by the science of a scientist? Let alone their opinion? Why does he offend you so much? I would put this person in the "has issues" category. Not saying that is bad. But it doesn't make you right. In

Excessive maybe, but not false, and only to counter his blatant miscategorization to which I was responding. I underestimated the support for JDP here, which is my bad but I am happy to defend him. My mother is an anthropologist. The social

How do you know he uses mostly weak papers? That is an overgeneralization. And why would he? Which papers should he have chosen? And I never said all scientists agree. Typical straw man. But what I will say is there are plenty of climate ch

Jordan Peterson is as scientific as a social scientist gets. He cites papers and describes the work of past scientists and his premises are evidence driven. He is a professor; a professional academic. He has his opinions, positions and moti

Not just internally consistent, but externally consistent, at which point making this a matter of compliance. External consistence isn't subjective. It's as objective to that system as any other fact, and is a matter of understand

But this is not the point. Once you have an account, you create a bucket, a magnet, and an entry in their database. You exist. They don't need you to participate. They need your email or your phone number that can link you to the rest

Of course science flies in the face of democracy. Democracy gives all the power to individual subjective opinion. Hence the battle against emotional bias, fake news, and propaganda tactics which all work wonders in a democracy. This battle

If you had said you were replacing outlook, I'd be less surprised. You seem more email focused. Front's front page slogan is "The shared inbox for teams." I'm always puzzled when they attack modern email in their PR

I'm a smart leader, and I am disliked. And it's this exact tone that they dislike most. They feel I lack empathy, but empathy is why I do it. And when someone likes me, I know they know we know what's up. That's also why
