Is Jordan Peterson Just Making It Up as He Goes? | The Walrus


#politics

Peterson’s longstanding bête noire has been the scourge of postmodernism, alternatively represented in the catch-all signifier “postmodern neo-Marxism.” Once again, the irony here is not just that Peterson’s own writing so regularly mirrors the worst stylistic tendencies of both post-structuralist academia and social media identity politics. It’s that his work and ideas are fundamentally postmodern in substance.

The BBC is shocked when Israeli soldiers – illegally occupying Syria – identify its film crew, point guns at their heads, strip-search them, then blindfold and interrogate them.

Might it encourage the BBC to report the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza?

"En catégorisant ces logements, on fait payer aux citoyens une politique de l'État"


#politique #énergie #environnement

Tout est fait pour pousser le gaz polluant et qu'on importe à grands frais ! C'est du pur délire !

Prenons un logement qui consomme 150 kWh par mètre carré par an – on calcule le nombre de kWh par mètre carré et par an, que ce soit le gaz, le pétrole ou l'électricité. Si vous êtes au gaz, vous êtes classé C. Si vous êtes à l’électricité, vous êtes classé F, en raison de ce coefficient de 2,3. En effet même si le logement électrique bénéficie d’une excellent note « climat » , soit A ou B, c’est la plus mauvaise note des deux qui est retenue. Vous êtes parfait pour le climat et condamnable pour le logiciel de l’Ademe.

Vous avez donc deux logements identiques, avec la même famille qui consomme de la même manière mais il y en a une qui est devenue une poubelle énergétique : c'est celle qui est chauffée à l'électricité. Et une qui est vertueuse : celle au gaz.

It's racism. That's why they go with genocide. Zionism is a form of racism and should be prosecuted as such
My hope is that the German govt, like other EU govts, is going to be increasingly at odds with its base. I hope it gets to a point where their divergence with public sentiment is such that is no longer sustainable and therefore will be forced to change tack.
Bit like Pierce Morgan, Candice Owen, Tucker Carlson. They are not exactly progressive souls, but are no longer pro-Israel

Selon la gauche, les droits des femmes constituent un concept « transphobe »


#politique #féminisme

Ce que tous ces articles expriment d’une manière frappante, c’est – ainsi que nombre de féministes (les prétendues « TERF ») et d’autres s’efforcent de le souligner depuis des années –, que les revendications trans s’opposent radicalement, foncièrement, aux droits des femmes. Si la défense des droits des « femmes biologiques » (pléonasme, mais passons) est « transphobe », c’est que les « droits des trans » sont gynophobes – en tout cas anti-femmes.

cher Emmanuel
tu as un problème de vue je pense, j’ai écrit “Savez-vous que J.K. Rowling a choisi un héros et non une héroïne parce qu’elle voulait vendre ? alors est-elle féministe ? je ne crois pas.” et oui elle n’est pas féministe !
En outre il y a des trans qui peuvent être violé.es ( hommes trans ou femmes trans ) et pour les premiers accoucher après leur viol. Par conséquent si J.K. Rowling ne reçoit pas un homme trans violé dans son organisation, c’est une minable !
Tout le monde a le droit d’être défendu et protégé y compris 0,5% de la population. Les droits des trans ne remettent pas en cause ceux des autres, bien au contraire.

hmmm... krasses vokabular. surjektiv... hab erst gedacht, du hättst dich vertippt ;) bin jedenfalls um eine vokabel schlauer ❤ merci ❤
hab eine weile gebraucht, bis ich mich einigermaßen orientiert hab.
voll interessant; wenn man sich vorstellt in welcher welt die ganzen wissenschaftler damals gelebt haben und mit ihren abgefahrenen theorien alle dasselbe... wieviele jahre und wissenschaftlerleben weiter... der teilchenbeschleuniger tada... geile sache!
ich hab mir damals gewünscht, dass der higgs sich irgendwie zu diesen ganzen "parawissenschaftlichen" denkansätzen wohlwoillend oder zumindest irgendwie geäußert hätte, vielleicht hat er das ja sogar, aber ist irgendwie nichts angekommen. am end, wieso auch, die meisten der damaligen vordenker waren wohl sowieso tot.
was ich unendlich interessanter grad finde, ist der aspekt bei diesem d. bohm(dein link und bla) den er in dieser Rheomodus-geschichte andenkt.
das emergiert anscheinend an diversen stellen immer mal wieder unter diversen begrigffen und ich selbst bin im rahmen irgendwelcher abgefahrenen gesellschaftskonzept-gedanken drauf gestoßen.
kurz umrissen:
(auf oben bezogen) egal was du für geile theorien hast/hättest und egal wie du sie beweisen könntest, am ende ist (bis wir telepatisch werden) das mittel der verständigung, die sprache.
und egal wie mensch eine realität ohne dualismus und schubladen wünschte, er ist begrifflich innerhalb dieser grenzen doch extrem drauf angewiesen (ja/nein/vielleicht... ;))
jedenfalls ja. geil. bohm hat's wohl auch nicht geknackt, und wenn, ist's noch nicht angekommen.
die pädagogen haben da den anti-bias-approach (und die deutsch/englische übersetzung führt schon bei den lehrkräften zu verwirrung, zumindest außerhalb der unis) aber wirklich angekommen ist da auch eher nichts, also praxismäßig, checkt irgendwie keiner.
irgendein fan der frankfurter schule meinte das nüsschen geistert schon ewig herum... die vereinbarkeit des individualismus(bzw. des individualisierten menschen) mit gesellschaft(bzw. gesellschaftsform)
die bisherigen systeme und ideologien konztentrieren sich auf vereinbarkeit durch eliminierung der unvereinbarkeit.
einerseits logisch, doch anscheinend nicht so wirklich funktionierend (siehe autoritäten-widerstand/also einer ist immer dagegen und kann somit eine kritische masse hervorrufen)
diese fast sucht nach konsens... ist nonsens ;D hach worspiel...
also irgendwie, muss mensch eine verdaubare dialektik finden um widerspruch zu normalisieren und damit konsens zu erreichen.
in reply to unmittelbar

Nur so ein Gedanke zu einem Punkt von @Kent Paint: Das westliche (westdeutsche) System, in dem ich aufgewachsen bin, konzentrierte sich -- zumindest der gelehrten Idee nach -- glaube ich nicht auf die Eliminierung der Unvereinbarkeit, sondern es sollte sie ignorieren. Vor dem Gesetz sind alle gleich und so. Heißt eben nicht, das Recht solle alle gleich machen, wie das Bett des Prokrustes, sondern es soll ignorieren, dass sie alle unterschiedlich sind.

Ansonsten würde oder werde ich wohl geraume Zeit brauchen, mich in alle Gedankengänge reinzudenken. Aber schön, dass hier gedacht wird. 😀

Made a big(?) mistake with `mv /*/*/* ./`


Background:

I think I messed up ...
Wanted to get a lot of files out of a nested folderstructure 3 levels deep and used mv /*/*/* ./ somewhere deep in my personal folders.
I got a lot of errors and quick as I could stopped it.
Now that folder is is messed up with a lot of stuff (see below) which I dont know the origin of.
The good news: I have fairly recent backups

Questions:

  • Could they be from subdirectories in my home folder?
  • Could they be from subdirectories outside my home folder? Especially grubenv caught my eye.
  • Could it be potentially dangerous to reboot? I leave my PC on untill I know more.
  • Would it be possible to reverse the moving in some way, to put them back where they belong, even manually?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games?


Like I'm not one of THOSE. I know higher = better with framerates.

BUT. I'm also old. And depending on when you ask me, I'll name The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as my favourite game of all time.

The original release of that game ran at a glorious twenty frames per second. No, not thirty. No, not even twenty-four like cinema. Twenty. And sometimes it'd choke on those too!

.... And yet. It never felt bad to play. Sure, it's better at 30FPS on the 3DS remake. Or at 60FPS in the fanmade recomp port. But the 20FPS original is still absolutely playable.

Yet like.

I was playing Fallout 4, right? And when I got to Boston it started lagging in places, because, well, it's Fallout 4. It always lags in places. The lag felt awful, like it really messed with the gamefeel. But checking the FPS counter it was at... 45.

And I'm like -- Why does THIS game, at forty-five frames a second, FEEL so much more stuttery and choked up than ye olde video games felt at twenty?

in reply to Count Regal Inkwell

My favorite game of all time is Descent, PC version to be specific, I didn't have a PlayStation when I first played it.

The first time I tried it, I had a 386sx 20MHz, and Descent, with the graphics configured at absolute lowest size and quality, would run at a whopping 3 frames per second!

I knew it was basically unplayable on my home PC, but did that stop me? Fuck no, I took the 3 floppy disks installer to school and installed it on their 486dx 66MHz computers!

I knew it would just be a matter of time before I got a chance to upgrade my own computer at home.

I still enjoy playing the game even to this day, and have even successfully cross compiled the source code to run natively on Linux.

But yeah I feel you on a variety of levels regarding the framerate thing. Descent at 3 frames per second is absolutely unplayable, but 20 frames per second is acceptable. But in the world of Descent, especially with modern upgraded ports, the more frames the better 👍

in reply to Count Regal Inkwell

@Count Regal Inkwell Most people can't honestly perceive any change in their visual field in less than 1/60th of a second except perhaps at the very periphery (for some reason rods are faster than cones and there are more rods in your peripheral vision) and even then not in much detail. So honestly, frame rates above 60 fps don't really buy you anything except bragging rights.

@binom If you film with a camera with a ntsc vertical reference rate of 59.95 hz you will see a beat note between the lights and the led lighting indicating it is not well filtered if at all. If you have a newer HiDef camera, most of them work at a 24Hz refresh rate, that IS a slow enough rate that you see jitter in the movement, they also will have a beat note if recording under most LED lights. Many cheap led lights just have a capacitive current limiter and that's it. If you power them off of 50Hz you will see the flicker, if you get dimmable LED lights they will NOT have a filter. But I don't want to interfere with anyone's bragging rights.
