I could have gotten ice-cream later, but I want it now: Ergo National Emergency! But then my question is really, can he get away with it (can the cour...
Yes, without problematizing notions like 'subjective' and 'objective' we get nowhere. And you get folks running back and forth to Wikipedia and quotin...
Not a big fan of the term 'scientism' but certainly the very human need to neatly box up concepts to make them more understandable. Unfortunately, in ...
Pity most folks don't understand the importance of this due to their misleadingly reductive definitions of each term. As if a human subject is not con...
The road of reason navigates a landscape of values. Different landscapes, different roads. Though it's true some are stuck in ideological potholes, tr...
Predictions on how the emergency declaration will play out? (Especially from a legal/constitutional point of view). @"Hanover"? @"Ciceronianus the Whi...
Interesting. It always struck me that a good intro into the differences between American and British culture would be to contrast Captain America with...
No, among other unsubstantiated claims, you said the Dems support "open borders". Sources/evidence? (Except you can't because it's not true). Instead ...
So, your claim now is that the Dems went from supporting a wall and gassing and caging immigrants just as much as (or more than) Trump did, to being i...
So, the argument now is not that Dems want open borders (the usual right-wing line), but actually that they are just as strong on border security as T...
Harry insists gender is no more than biological sex. The NHS definition is within the general boundaries of the other definitions in recognizing it's ...
My issue with Hanover concerned what kind of system the relatively poor are better off in and where therefore their interests lie in promoting. And th...
Because high tax, low inequality i.e. controlling wealth and redistributing downwards. /uploads/files/ml/kmjmunuh6tg2gmai.png /uploads/files/qi/gq4tzt...
You've gone off on a few different tangents there, but it should be clear my moral perspective on economic issues is utilitarian-based. If redistribut...
Just a routine note concerning false positives on the spam filter. If your post disappears and you can't think of reason why, please let us know and i...
What always amazes me is that billionaires and the super-rich in general have managed to create not only a system that funnels more and more money to ...
Sorry frank, but you don't get any brownie points here for fronting that you know stuff. Here's a basic overview from wiki: "Social engineering is a d...
Is there even one opponent of gender-neutral education that is not so overcome by their own ideological context that they realize they actually operat...
In that case what you're telling me is that you don't understand what social engineering is. As I already explained and as I wouldn't need to explain ...
I didn't bitch at you. I said it's a knee jerk reaction, and that's what strong language like "over my dead body" sounds like. Fair or no? The rest wa...
The point has already been made earlier in the thread that the teacher is a social engineer one way or the other. Getting kids to say the pledge of al...
I'd just add from my own experience that even though we won't ever get all the way, it's crucial to try, and that most institutions and systems will d...
The moves, or some of them at least, are outlined in the gender-neutral education article in the OP. By the opposition, I mean those who were opposed ...
I don't know what else to say about it. I think you did the right thing. And sometimes that's hard. But I expect you'll eventually get through it and ...
An individual is a bunch of social forces that have their tendrils around a follicly challenged ape. Das man is us from the root up. There is no indiv...
There's space between it being a non-issue and so critical as to merit vitriolic opposition. And of course, there are shades of gender-neutrality to b...
Respect to you. You did the honourable thing. It would be nice if that always resulted in a reward, but if it did, it would no longer be honourable. A...
Authoritarian Socialist Note: The definition of 'gender' for the purposes of this thread is the normal definition as used in the social sciences and d...
I mean if you think gender is exclusively biological sex, then what could 'gender-neutral' even mean? Cutting little boys dangly bits off and giving h...
Listen, please. It's not my definition. It's not a left-wing definition. It's the standard definition. It's what the word means and how it's used in e...

Just removed the link from the OP. Anyone who wants to know what it is can PM you, or you can stick it up on your profile if you like (under 'Update b...
Another reason the outrage is misplaced, of course, is that gender non-neutral vs gender neutral is not an absolute binary. Education has been trendin...
Sorry, you can't post links to your blogs for review here. You can post links on your profile though, and if you want to start a discussion on a topic...
