  • i'm too afraid to ask or i might get downvoted, and this may be controversial, but what’s wrong with women (specifically straight women) liking gay romance/porn?

    Jump

  • these days young people are pressured to signal socially that they are not fully straight to belong to certain groups. If she's actually bi or not, only time will tell. Don't try to expect coherence from somebody still building their personality, preferences and identity when they are bombarded by complex social needs. Yaoi might or might not be connected to her preferences at all: lot of women like it because they can witness romance or sex in which they have no role, shielding them from the possibility of projecting themselves into the dynamic. Like lesbian porn for men, it takes away the anxiety of the imagined performance or the need to compare themselves with the actor.

  • logical fallacies are out of context when used in a normal conversation rather than a scientific debate. It's just a way to escape.

  • How do you explain to yourself that religious and spiritual people are the drivers of mainstream politics and new political ideologies, while atheists/modernists/disenchanted are pretty much either irrelevant or clinging desperately to their position of vaning power, paralyzed, and often depressed?

  • I wouldn’t categorize pantheism under monotheism.

    I would. Monotheism is any belief that prescribes the existence of a single God and its worship. I don't want to argue on semantics, but what else could Pantheism be if not monotheistic?

  • Who would have thunk the solution is more hierarchy!?!?!

    Jump

  • Pantheism is monotheistic and non-hierarchical. Hierarchy, by definition, implies the existence of more than one thing, and any monistic theology is non-hierarchical.

  • Hierarchy sells because it gives you a place that belongs to you, even when it's a shitty place. Having a place does wonder for depression, because it creates meaning.

    Creating meaning without hierarchy is possible, though much harder.

    When they sell you what I assume is the Christian God (not all Gods are hierarchical), they sell you an easy solution. Burgers make you full if you're hungry, even if they are not good for other parameters. But if a friend is starving and all you have is a burger, you offer a burger.

  • quitting doesn't halt the baby-grinding machine. Big tech can only be stopped from the inside. I even know some people getting hired there exclusively to cause trouble. You should respect their commitment rather than anything else.

    Is “objectivity” something that exists before observation, or something that stabilizes through it?

  • since botting is so easy, probably they used a lot of accounts to access data that, in theory, is somewhat public. I mean, in an ideal world in which engineers have infinite time sure, they would have noticed, but I do investigations on platform apps for work and trust me, they miss a lot of more fundamental stuff.

  • ah no yeah, I agree, you can only experience the reflection. The Real punches you in the face but you don't feel the punch, you just wake up on the floor without recollection of what happened.

    Jump

  • There is a Real beyond our perceived reality, which is independent from observation, but doesn't seep through the observation. Anything that reaches the conscious mind stops being objective. The Real is experienced only when our reality is shattered by an intervention of the Real. In scientific terms, the internal consistence of an epistemology doesn't bring you close to the truth, but it just makes itself more resistant to the Real. Eventually the whole paradigm is shattered by something that cannot be encompassed in the epistemology and you can assume what was left outside is the Real intervening. Once the epistemology is consolidated, the bounds of what you can know are already set and are not objective, but depending on the epistemology itself, which is always partial.

  • spotify has a whole economy of bots signing up, uploading fake songs listened by other bots and earning lot of money in the process. I know several people living out of this. A little army of scraper bots is definitely not what they should be the most concerned about.
