Clearly, how? What evidence do you have of his bias? In your opinion. Christ! what is happening to people. Are you really so egotistical that you cann...
No it isn't. A newspaper article isn't a source in an attempt to undermine an entire academic field of enquiry - not even close. Exactly. How is that ...
Yes, that's the idea. Our lower order modelling cortices spit out all sorts of junk all the time, white noise random synapse firing, and it's all filt...
Right. So you're back so claiming that if people's theories are consistent that's grounds for suspicion. Can you cite where he says he reported him in...
That makes sense. If the argument is 'intersectionality hasn't really been implemented', I could quite happily substitute that for 'intersectionality ...
That's fair enough. So let me put it the other way round. If all that I've just alluded to is the "low cost propaganda", but intersectional approaches...
Why is thinking the US are to blame a 'strong' view, but thinking they are not to blame not? Views are surely either more or less well thought out and...
That's very interesting, I can totally see how it could work that way. So, my question is what's the product? What is the result of this activity, thi...
I apolgise, I must have missed it. Which of the sources have you tackled? I've scanned back through the posts but can't see a reference. Hence the fou...
And...? I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. If an intelligent, well informed person thought from the very beginning of the conflict the US ...
Yes. Roughly. I tend to frame the effect of reason in terms effects on our priors, so reasoning is still post hoc, but has an effect. Basically, if th...
Right... So you think was a good read, whilst also not lauding it? And you think accusations of antisemitism are justified whilst also remaining chari...
I'm not claiming either he or you are factually wrong though, am I? I'm taking issue with @"ssu"'s response which frames his opinion as being what "re...
Partially, yes. I'd take issue with @"Janus"'s use of "taken seriously", and "be of any use to anyone". Both of these responses are both possible and ...
Yes, that's sort of what I was trying to get at. No matter how bad our methodology is, it can't be abandoned unlike, say the study of black holes prio...
As @"Srap Tasmaner" has already said, the vast majority of those sources are from within evolutionary psychology - the first citation is Henry Plotkin...
Careful! You know actual discussion with those who disagree with you can lead to a number of serious health conditions, are you sure we're ready... .....
Here's a game we can play. You know the black squiggly stuff that fills the space between emojis in people's posts? Why don't you have a crack at read...
And that would be a ...what...theory? Interesting. This theory of yours about the human psyche...it's like there might be some field dedicated to exac...
Yeah, that's kind of where I'm going. Also, I think @"fdrake" might have even posted it earlier, but Mark Fisher's seminal article https://www.opendem...
@"jorndoe" Ask @"Baden" if he sees even the slightest hypocrisy in his now lauding an article condemning a man for taking quotes out of context and st...
Possibly, but as I said to @"fdrake" I'm sort of looking for an explanation of this new phenomena it feels like there is. People (ones I know personal...
I feared as much... Yes. So we can come at this from an information-first perspective and say that I'm using you (or vice versa) to update my beliefs ...
...doesn't chime with... You agree above that it is "monstrous" to provide weapons (alone) to a country that doesn't have more chance of winning that ...
Honestly, it's hilarious watching you champagne socialists tying yourselves in knots to come up with explanations for why so many people think the wea...
Yeah, 'cos rich people never engage in nefarious behaviour in order to profit from it... Where do these people get their ideas from, eh? Must be some ...
@"jorndoe" tell @"Baden" I'm not talking to him either, but tell Baden that if he wants a candidate who's better than Biden he might want to think abo...
Uh huh... Something like... ... would be an example of caricaturing your opponent's views, yes. I'll be sure to try and avoid that kind of thing in fu...
The defence is of a politics that rises above petty slandering and appeals to cliché as substitutes for substantive argument. The reason why we might ...
Kennedy himself! What are you thinking? We have an editor's cut of what a newspaper journalist's summary of a reported speech possibly implied... what...
Very nice. I'll respond simply by highlighting the differences and similarities with my own thinking... I'm with you regarding the habits, but I think...
Absolutely. The thing about psychological theories is that everyone has them, you have to have, otherwise your strategies when interacting with others...
I see. Then I misunderstood. I was talking about capital cementing social forms, concretising the differences and making convenient little units of id...
I suspect other members might have a very different impression of my tendency to politesse... Yeah... I'm fully retired now, so I can say what I like ...
Right. Thanks for the numbers. So in about 17 months we've had nearly 100,000 dead, 6.3 million refugees, $143 billion in damage, wheat and fertiliser...
Not that many. This isn't some unknown quantity we might as well toss a coin over. We know how many are dying as a result of this war, we know with so...
You mean you ever took it off! It's the gulag for you m'boy. I was with you up to the last. Surely it is a bad thing? Are we saying that the exacerbat...
Has it? In what way? Negotiate and provide concessions, or seek more powerful alliances willing to fight alongside and use them as leverage. If an ene...
They evidently weren't. Last I checked they were still bombing the crap out of Ukraine. I don't call that stopped. Imparting motive is a very easy way...
So? Then the hand is not part of his body, for him. How is that difficult? We'd disagree (he and I), and I were his doctor I'd treat his hand as if it...
No. You were selecting to do so to someone predicting the failure of Ukrainian offensives, but ignoring anyone predicting the failure of Russian actio...
