yeah people way overestimate the degree of determinism embodied in DNA.
Gene expression (epigenetics) are half, probably more, of the story.
I get what you’re saying but also disagree on the conclusion, if I’m reading right. Feels like a form of solipsism which is just … navel-gazey.
Imagining oneself in another’s position is simple empathy, an evolved trait foundational to human civilization. The point is not to be able to perfectly imagine that other life, or to understand it in full detail. The point is to recognize common humanity between yourself and that other person.
In empathizing, I make a basic assumption about another person’s experience, in its intelligibility to myself, despite not having experienced it directly myself. It is like how in physics, we can’t prove beyond all doubt that the laws of the physics are the same in other galaxies (although there is of course strong evidence, e.g. spectral lines). I am reasonably certain of a baseline humanity shared by all humans, and on that basis I feel valid in empathizing.
I think they’re Trots or something. They do sometimes miss, especially on Ukraine. But overall yes they are actually communists.
One of their top viewed videos is Ash Sarkar on Good Morning Britain making Piers Morgan look dumb
Not to mention not all companies are publicly traded
Agreed… disability is a biologically relative term, not socially relative. A society which fully accommodates deafness would not actually abolish deafness.
Someone I know has a hearing disability. It’s not like they are unable to survive without me, but hearing would absolutely make them safer at times. For example, when walking through a dangerous part of town, there is a reason hearing people don’t wear headphones. In nature, it’s a good thing if you can hear rattlesnakes or idk, a bear charing at you lol.
Does that mean a deaf person cannot live a life as rich as a hearing person? I don’t believe that at all. Like said above, there can be certain subjective upsides to deafness that might balance the losses. But it’s still a disability.
CEO Sundar Pichai said, "We have a culture of vibrant, open discussion... But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place […] to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics."
- Our apolitical business decisions
- Their disruptive protests
A billion-dollar contract with Israel is a political decision. There is no way to oppose it except politically. Own the decisions you make Google.
edit It is fascinating how abrupt and vocal a response I get here if I say something negative about Putin. It's also fascinating how many upvotes those responses get. It makes the provenance of this community's opinions fairly obvious.
You sound exactly like Shapiro
“People immediately telling me I’m wrong is proof that I’m saying the hard truth!”
They're tankies, ie radical communists who support authoritarian regimes like North Korea and the CP, and fully support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Libs thinking about worldviews in this backward way is a reflection of how their brains work.
First pick a team, then embrace the ideology.
A liberal cannot comprehend theory forming the basis of a worldview. Hence the the reduction of all radical theory to “they support the evil dictators!!!”
No, China doesn’t count because that would challenge my worldview. I know I’m right, I just haven’t figured out how yet.
YTA you should have been more forward. Out of respect (for the Iraqis) I would suggest something like “oh cool” or “the earth is healing”
The political cum piss is actually shit
