I've flicked back over this thread, too. I re-read the denials. I re-read white middle class cis hetro males begging that the word "privilege" not be ...
There's a remarkable dearth of philosophical material on privilege. But there is Naomi Zack, which draws a distinction between white privilege and whi...
Thanks for that. It's apparent that talk of privilege has too much baggage for a general conversation such as this. I wondered, on reading your other ...
Yep. Here's a pop article that might be of interest: Learning About Privilege The reaction fo the white student has parallels in this thread. The chec...
Fucksake. Yes, you don't see the problem. Repeating that you don't see the problem does not help. Go talk to @"creativesoul". He may have more patienc...
It's not an analogy. It is an example. The disenfranchisement caused to non-ambulatory people is real. But thanks, by denying that this is a problem y...
And you have been answered at a least a half-dozen times already. ...you know this is not the god of the Christians. ...you used the stacked term "ent...

Yep. And you have difficulty dealing with it, so you attack me instead of my argument. Go ahead, continue the attack. That helps us understand the def...
...and the title ought be "Arrangement of Belief". Edit: I see multiple others, including @"fdrake" and @"creativesoul", have made much the same point...
Actualy, this was pretty good: It's congruent with what I have said elsewhere concerning the inability of the privileged to see their own privilege, n...
Deconstruction is not my cuppa. So I'm not overly sympathetic to the critique in the OP. For instance this: That's not what I would call Nihilism. But...
It's a puzzle, to be sure. So the first test I'd advocate would be, does that work for other formulations - such as "This sentence is true". So would ...
Peterson relies on a populist distortion of Jung, and hence the main criticisms of Jung apply to Peterson. Peterson paraphrases archetypes, synchronic...
Presuppositions were introduced by @"Srap Tasmaner", for whom I have hight regard; but I do not yet see how they help here - so best address those que...
