Simply because you don’t share your boss’ motor-cortex. You are responsible for what you do while your boss is responsible for what he does. It’s simp...
The first step would be to stop acting like them, then win the argument. Chomsky makes this case often: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ui1vmS9Yz5M Fals...
I appreciate the story and advice. But is it any strange wonder that it involves children? A paternal outlook is a prerequisite to authority and under...
I like it. But no scientific experiments needed; she’ll be sure to tell you all about it. But I am a little disappointed there is no accompanying Bade...
It appears there are two-brands of "democracy" in conflict, the one that favors the power of the people, the other that favors the institutions that h...
Of course the fascists would, so it makes no sense to afford them the power to do so. One of the best ways to avoid fascism is to not do what the fasc...
Well, we don’t have any say in the matter whether things like comedy, parody, and opinions are touched because we are not the authorities on such matt...
Yes, deception is terrible and immoral. It hurts being deceived, and further, to act on a false belief could lead to very real harm. More often or not...
Misinformation is just false information. Under its heading falls satire, irony, fiction, exaggeration, miscalculation, and so on. The threat is not o...
That seems to me to be a stupid idea, not well thought out at all, because if lying is universal and comprehensive your authorities would be subject t...
Good points. I note that many of the fears over misinformation mention the threat to some amorphous, ill-defined order. Both China and the EU have thi...
The dictum has long ago been overturned, and so is no longer binding or relevant to first amendment jurisprudence. “Immanent lawless action”, not “cle...
It is a huge mistake to equate an amendment to a constitution with the principle or right it is meant to protect. It’s nothing short of circular. The ...
Societal structures these days stipulate that the land is owned by the state. Concepts such as jurisdiction, eminent domain, national sovereignty, and...
I agree. "Misinformation", by definition, is tantamount to falsity. But in practical use it is used to counter information those in power do not like....
Freedom of speech is not the same as the first amendment, I'm afraid, so its a mistake to equate the two. That's fine, it's a common error. I've descr...
Many harmful human rights abuses have been committed on such a premise. Do you personally need someone to decide for you what you can and cannot read,...
Relaying the concerns of voters is what politicians should do and is entirely moral. It’s not Trump bringing up specific communities and subjecting th...
He does a lot of long-form interviews, podcasts, rallies, so one can get a fairly good judge at competence. Weasels can bring up one or two lines that...
Falsely protecting them does nothing for the concerns of everyday voters who live there. Springfield is not a sanctuary city and when an estimated 20,...
Well, she’s been in the second-most powerful position for a few years now and has absolutely nothing to show for it. I’m banking on people realizing t...
I know you don’t catch any US political ads over there but they are at least hitting her on those angles in adverts. But the Trump campaign doesn’t ha...
The whole optics thing is quite funny, that she needs a smaller podium so she doesn’t appear nearly a foot shorter than her opponent. So they actually...
Much ado has been made about Trump’s comments about Springfield, which they claimed led to a series of supposed bomb threats. The idea is that Trump s...
Is this affidavit real? Russian disinfo? A scam on gullible Trump supporters? This account says he has procured a sworn affidavit from an ABC whistleb...
Look at this from NBC: Trump dispenses with unity and blames Democrats after apparent second assassination attempt https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rc...
Do you believe the colored objects themselves are events in your body? Or just the color? No, I think color and pain are fundamentally different. You ...
I’m trying to figure it out I just don’t understand how a sensation can have the property “color”. It isn’t clear what if anything we’re talking about...
Why would we need to change the properties of the object if color is not a property of the object? I don't know the correct answer but all of them see...
But their location suggests that the color is outside the body, not inside. What we do with paints, phosphors, pigments, suggest that the color is out...
Trump plans to end taxes on overtime if elected. Who would've thought he'd fight for the American worker? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-...
I don't see how it is useful to distort the picture with a fiction. A fiction is something invented or untrue. Color is a fiction. So it follows that ...
Well, yes, dogs have better hearing and smell. I was strictly speaking about colors, though. If color is a fiction, why are we adding fiction to whate...
The is a question of a species needing color because, from the perspective of color fictionalism, color is a fiction. I’m just not sure why a species ...
No, just that it is possible to see thing more accurately, for instance if the world is without color, maybe it would better to see it without color. ...
“Bloodbath” was a lie, the “very fine people” hoax, that he is going to implement Project 2025, that he wants a national abortion ban, that he wants t...
Considering the color fictionalism position, if the world is without color then I suppose a scene of greys is what it must look like. And the implicat...
