I agree that more collectivist approaches made a difference, but I think the list you made is too simplistic. China bungled in the very beginning but ...
Individualism here in the Anglo-American world, meaning classical liberalism & Right-Libertarianism, is B.S. and a pathology that destroys everything....
Well I get your impression, but there's garbage all across these fields. Like with economics, you have a handful of scholars who shift through the pil...
Well every scholarly field related to politics that I know that uses a rigorous interdisciplinary approach integrates the field of psychology (social ...
What you're reacting to seems more like armchair guessing of people's motives (yeah that is B.S.) than the field called political psychology. My frien...
In what sense, for an example, would you dismiss Mencius, Xunzi, and Mozi as not doing philosophy? A lot of the issues they argued about would be reco...
I think death is bad because it restricts our freedom to pursue our goals and interests. Perhaps we would have wanted to live more decades enjoying ti...
I thought Dennett & Pigliucci both had a pretty good response to Chomsky's mysterian argument here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tH3AnYyAI8&t=5010...
Looking at the exchange, I am quite confused at what the thread is about. Are you posing skepticism of resolution of philosophical quandaries (progres...
Lately I've gotten into discussion with some people and realized I have been diagnosed and medicated for bipolar disorder wrongly for years. I'm almos...
I didn't mean to suggest the topic was too broad, but rather that the starting point of examination was to focus on which features of the concept are ...
Yeah Bartricks' definition is technically correct, but for the compatibilist accounts proposed by Dennett and cogni sci folks, they are a kind of "lim...
What bothers me about many popular discussions of the topic is people start off assuming it as a given what the controversy is about and whether it's ...
Questions like why something such as X exists seem reasonable based on phenomenon we observe around us. Like we know from experience that it makes sen...
Apologies for leading the thread on a tangent, I’ve become enraged due to the recent anti-Asian shootings. Like the other comments, I generally encour...
It was only last year when Biden made a jingoistic advertisement about “the Chinese” when saber rattling about competition with China. https://www.bus...
FBI directors are allowed to be fired despite tenure. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2020/12/02/report-biden-will-keep-chris-wray-as-fbi-direct...
I mentioned maintaining the racist FBI director and then provided sources. If you think it’s unconvincing, then say so. “I’m not obligated to” to my r...
You didn't address the example I mentioned, the McCarthyist targeting of Chinese students. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2019-06-13/the-u-s-...
My memory is that all the candidates dropped out and endorsed Biden after he did very well in West Virginia, and then support peaked with the media co...
Asian women have especially been targeted because of the way they've been fetishized in American imagination. It's a travesty of multiple perversions....
I admit I have my own aesthetic preferences in terms of appearance between races when it comes to a sexual partner. I don't think that arriving at a p...
Well your post is how much more you can "get out of something" if you make the effort to try to appreciate it right? I probably can get more out a par...
I get what you're saying, but I don't know dude. I've had more pleasant memories enjoying a great cheap food cart repeatedly over that one fancy resta...
I underemphasized it in my previous comment, but I agree we should co-opt the message, and I don't care about purity. But this to me seems more like a...
The whole incident has been a net negative for GameStop workers. “...The GameStop workers I spoke to described a company that offers little support to...
BlackRock made billions off the GameStop Ordeal, Wall Street as a whole isn't threatened. Rich people win and lose all the time in the market, a parti...
Sorry I erased my comment cause I didn't want to get into this discussion but you already saw it. I largely agree with you that the prevalence of bad ...
I answered Maximal to all of them, because that's what I am considered to the rest of the spectrum. Among those on the furthest left, there's another ...
Scrolling down the first page of threads, they are mostly philosophy threads with a couple of big political threads. A number of active members are pr...
This is such a laughably uncharitable take of what I was trying to get at. I’m not going to engage with those having a conversation only to themselves...
What you're missing is that what you call well-established laws are approximations to deeper laws. It's both true that we can still use Newtonian phys...
I'm inclined to agree on stressing the structural issues more. But if we're interested in getting the full picture, there's a causal feedback loop to ...

It's also a psychological issue. Despite diminishing marginal utility, why do billionaires spend so much of their time on work? Yes, they may not work...
That's the U.S, where yes its economy is designed to do that it that way, but it isn’t necessary. Japan did it through its Ministry of International T...

There’s a point to doing science with its corresponding philosophical rumination (running into either of the 3 results I mentioned) Empty label switch...
So it’s just word play that brings comfort by the appearance of internal coherency, it doesn’t explain anything or help us grapple with the real world...
So now you’re going in circles and that we need panpsychism, and your previous comment was a total deflection. That was the target of my last comment....
If you don’t need it, if it doesn’t explain anything, then I don’t know why you’re wasting your time with it. Just put a question mark to it. Frankly ...
If you think there’s no details that you can empirically confirm I’m conscious and tease out the manner in which I am so, and it’s just an unfounded i...
