I would've thought it was more like asking someone who treats the world as 1s and 0s why nothing is essentially 0 or 1. If you can't say how you can t...

Alright. Can you tell me some things that go into the archetypes?

Alright. How do you tell which properties go in the archetype and which don't? @"unenlightened"'s stepped up. Yeah. You kinda just have to eyeball it ...

I don't know how to interpret what you're saying at all then. Archetypes are universal patterns that behave as the essence of what they're archetypes ...

A definitive answer set in stone is precisely what an essence, a cosmic archetype, is.

That's extremely vibes based for the distillation of cosmic archetypes.

That is not quite what I meant. How do you tell which properties go into the essence of masculinity and femininity and which don't?

No. But I think it makes sense to be able to provide one, if you've got an account of masculinity or femininity. Like why do the gals go for sushi and...

I'd call the account non-mystical if it tried to come up with an answer to why the things which count as masculine or feminine count as such. eg, skir...

I wasn't expecting something so unapologetically mystical, thanks.

Interesting. I would like to hear what you think the correctness conditions for a trait being masculine or feminine are then? Like if I throw you the ...

For whom? Some people absolutely love Musk - see him as Tesla or Tony Stark. People love Trump - see him as a paladin. Some people even still love Tat...

Good good. They feel at a breaking point right now. But they have for a decade. Nah. I've got a plenty healthy conception of masculinity. I know what ...

It shows and they do. I've always gotten a lot from reading your posts. I think of you as much more of a gadfly than a systems builder. Good! Yeah thi...

I don't think they're incoherent, they're just unsystematic. I think you've put a lot of ideas into a very small space.

I wish the humanities were full of commies.

Yeah I agree with @"Jamal"'s comment. It's a long way from psychological angle you took though right? I'm mostly reacting to "Men are pitiful", it doe...

Did you always think like this?

I think she's fine.

I broadly agree. I wouldn't want to call it "wokeness" in public, since that well's poisoned. I have no idea what else to call it though. I see it as ...

In case this was sincere - no one would think “women are taking over and are destroying the core of masculinity” as anything but that projection-disav...

IMO noting persistent disparities in how genders are treated reveals what norms regarding them are. That's where I'm coming from anyway. The specific ...

Yes, and why men face significantly harsher sentences for the same crime.

Well taken. For something like income I'd agree. That proceeded from inequality to {now} relative equality within the same role. What I'm thinking of ...

That's very well put. Yes. I think at the higher studies level we're at the point where similar incentive structures that were made for women in STEM ...

He hoped for a future without women. It is not the exact same thing. The difference doesn't matter much. The state of public discourse matters unfortu...

I read Hunchback this morning. Cosy. Simple prose. Rare to find plain descriptions of disabled people's sexualities.

It was entrapment

Imo the one where he hoped every woman would die

Admittedly @"Gregory" lowered the tone into the usual gender war bullshit, but I expect better of the rest of you.

I provided an even handed discussion of the positives of total bum excision, I don't know what else you wanted. I might be able to intuit what you wou...

Ye olde incidental half humanity death, I see.

Why're you gonna hope for glassing the half of humanity you could be romantically attracted to. It sounds quite counterproductive. The authors of some...

Jesus H Christ Gregory. If I may ask, are you heterosexual?

They call this diversifying the oesophageal portfolio, I see your tail is very hedged, sir.

I imagine you charge $150 an hour.

My faith's only ever been rewarded when I do something about it.

My brother in Christ Denmark has opinions about Greenland and every European country is in hybrid warfare with Russia.

Yes, and the considerable reduction in swamp ass from the global bumectomy seals the deal. My guy needs to get on this ASAP.

People destroying Teslas is analogous to a big spat of people destroying electric bikes that we had in Europe. That was absolutely not treated as a th...

Every person would be a little lighter with no bum, meaning we'd need less calories. That could mean less production of food is required on a global l...

Have you considered all the ways that humanity could be improved by cutting our own bums off? Sounds like denial to me.

I suppose it would depend on if the nearest possible world without the underwear itchiness was also a world in which they were still together. Not tha...

I'm sure if you looked at it from the perspective of the values that might cause someone to adopt a particular stance, you'd find some commonality wit...

I suppose there's a couple of types of content involved. If you established that X causes Y through an experiment, then that's an excellent justificat...

If they are, it will be due to the sheer incompetence of the Republican party. The party's goals and priorities are clear.

At this point anyone who's still supporting the Republican party ought be considered in the same light as an outright supporter of a fascist regime.

I'm going on my own hobby horse here, rather than trying to do any exegesis. I think generally people accept narratives as reasons. Since they serve a...

I have no idea. If you're just estimating the mean of a data set, sample size 19 and 20 are basically the same thing. It would be really hard to justi...
