Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.--Charles Darwin
๐จ HOLY SMOKES. SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito asks ACLU lawyer "what is a man and a woman?" and they DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION.Alito's response is perfect.ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman?ACLU: We do not have a definition for the Court.
The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it. --Bertrand Russell
Visto lo visto, cada dรญa me reafirmo mรกs que si tengo que usar Mastodon en alguna instancia que yo no controlo, mejor no lo uso.
Entiendo que para muchos no es fรกcil, pero tampoco es tan complicado. Si te puedes montar tu propia instancia, hazlo. Asรญ que no quedas a merced de las decisiones de alguien mรกs.
Drama, acoso, censura, bloqueo, federaciรณn tronchada, malas interpretaciones, gente que se ofende por todo y por nada; nada de eso es diferente en otras plataformas.
Hay herramientas para no ver lo que determinados usuarios publican, pero si por uno o algunos, vamos a estar afectando a la mayorรญa ยฟquรฉ sentido tiene esto?
Y ahora estoy yo en el medio, siguiendo a usuarios de un lado y de otro que no se podrรกn ver, ni comunicar, aunque no hayan tenido culpa de nada. No sรฉ, podrรญamos ser mejores o hacer mejor las cosas al menos, pero allรก cada quien con su negocio.
Me da pereza montar mi propia instancia, no por montarla en si, sino por mantenerla. Y tambiรฉn que acabo de quitar el proxy inverso que tenรญa con Cloudflare para que Tebas dejara de tocar los huevos cada vez que habรญa fรบtbol.

When it comes to de-escalation in Minneapolis, the anti-ICE protesters will only accept ICE leaving Minnesota, while ICE and Border Control will only accept full compliance and support. That leaves no workable path to de-escalation. There is no perfect middle. There is no middle at all.

This map of New York City matched with talking with my father about working in the carpenters' union in the early 80's, matched also with the Westies, which was the Irish gangster group getting the contracts west of 5th Avenue... all interesting stuff.
I've been to NYC many times... it's interesting to put the sections and areas into perspective.
Jewish-run Hollywood makes you think "mafia" was only Eye-Tal-Yuns... but jooo mafia was just as big... then you have other ethnicities involved.
Again and again, I see the notion that humanity is committing "collective suicide" because we are not acting on #ClimateChange and other forms environmental destruction.
I do not accept this thesis. This is not suicide, it is murder - perpetrated by the oligarchs of this world and others who want the #FossilFuel economy going for their own profit.
And they have invested _massive_ amounts of money into propaganda to keep this system running. Not just by funding climate change denial - but also by promoting the concept of the individual "carbon footprint". Essentially, they have socialized the risks and privatized the profits, tricking us into believing that _we_ are to blame for not doing enough as individual persons, rather than _them_ for creating and perpetrating the system.
This is part of the "personal responsibility" ideology pushed by those who already own most of the world, but still want more. If _we_ as individuals share in the blame for _their_ decisions, even though _they_ gain all the benefits from them and we do not, then that means we would have to fight _ourselves_ to save the world - rather than the true villains of this story.
So let's put the accountability where it belongs, okay?

These are all HUGE reasons to not get married until your mid to late 20s at the earliest. Young adults donโt understand the necessity of wider compatibility plus they havenโt had time to fully figure out what they want for themselves.
@ChasingWaterfallsIf people did this they would never get married. Just like if people considered the real impact of having kids, they'd never have kids. Life finds a way. Often that way is via denial and stupidity.
Every now and then when your life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in, the only cure is to load up on heinous chemicals and then drive like a bastard from Hollywood to Las Vegas ... with the music at top volume and at least a pint of ether. --Hunter S. Thompson

Christianity was from the beginning, essentially and fundamentally, life's nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in 'another' or 'better' life. - Nietzsche
No matter how hard we try, we cannot ever be pure of thought and free from prejudice. No amount of academic study, of consuming art and literature by minorities, of empathic exercises, of "trainings", of mindfulness, will change this.
No amount of thinking-before-we-speak, of memorising lists of problematic words, phrases and tropes, will keep prejudice from leaking into what we say and do. It's in our blood, in our family narratives, in our upbringing. It's in how we look at people, who we love and how we love them.
Can you sit with that? The knowledge that no matter how hard you try, you will fail? Can you name that feeling? That despair. Can you contain it within your heart? 1/
It's a beautiful, seductive dream, of being perfectly kind and fair and nonjudgmental and loving, all races and genders and creeds and backgrounds. But we need to inspect the foundations of this dream.
It's built on Christian purity culture, where only the unblemished ascend to heaven. And it's built on white individualism, where we convince ourselves that a single person, solitary Self, can be all things, can never need the Other.
I'm starting to see how these tropes, these narratives, flourish in Western leftist thought at least as much as within conservatism. 2/
But once we let ourselves let go of the dream of perfection, we can understand that it was never necessary for kindness. In fact, it inhibits it.
If we stop holding ourselves and others to standards of perfection, we might learn to stop shunning the Other when we see the flaw in them, stop the tailspin of defensive denial when we see it in our Self. We might learn to both give and take criticism in a spirit of love. In humility, in forgiveness, in understanding. 3/
If we let go of individualism, we might learn that no person has to see everything in order for the group to see well. Understanding is a photomontage created thru collaboration, an overlapping of individual voices who may see clearly in some areas but have massive blind spots in others. No philosopher, no content creator, no celeb, will ever have all the answers, so let us knock down the pedestal on which we raise the individual. 5/
Iโm a Taiwanese person and i have had a complicated history with my own culture and Iโm deeply traumatised about my own kind and my own history, and i always remind myself that itโs okay to admit that I have prejudices against my own people and that admitting it doesnโt mean I said itโs okay, itโs just an admission of fact, and that the less I talk about it and the less I admit it, the less Iโd ever be able to be at peace with myself.
no amount of social studies about how racism populates itself, about how itโs actually not uncommon for discriminated minorities to hate themselves, about how itโs common that thereโs an entire culture of whitewashingโ no amount of knowledge would make it feel lighter that this is the kind of life I have and that Iโd be looked at weirdly whenever I talk about this issue that they never have to care about because theyโre white.
this white supremacist sentiment of being pure is in itself racism being perpetuated because they donโt have to struggle with the topic. Theyโre not affected by the systems of abuse. the only thing they need to care about is โoh I probably shouldnโt ask a Taiwanese person about China thatโd be inappropriateโ and some still ask me anyway.
and I want just for people to admit that theyโre privileged. I donโt need people to be appropriate, I want people to be vulnerable and genuine because they donโt have to be, but I do, because I need to contend with my suffering somehow.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." โ Carlos Castaneda

In the province of the mind, what one believes to be true either is true or becomes true within certain limits, to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are beliefs to be transcended. Hidden from one's self is a covert set of beliefs that control one's thinking, one's actions, and one's feeling. The covert set of hidden beliefs is the limiting set of beliefs to be transcended.
