Regardless of whether Geller is honest about his version of events, he chose not to disclose his actions at any point in becoming an internet celebrity, and like most celebrities abdicated responsibility for how that amplifies the effects of everything he does.

it seems like a lot of the KYLR crowd are ignoring how many people on "our" side are outright advocating for vengeance as a moral good, which isn't carceral in the same way that the ancient Babylonian empire wasn't liberal. it's still not liberatory!

idk man, I think it kinda does matter and should affect our response whether someone is likely to rape again or not I agree with the steelman version of KYLR, which is about stopping someone *who is still an active threat*

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

I know a lot of criticism of the romance genre is deeply misogynistic, but that doesn’t mean the romance genre isn’t also deeply misogynistic. we don’t need to pretend twilight is a feminist masterpiece, we can say that the mormon author is as misogynistic as her male critics.

it needs to actually be said that the specific romance fictions that get made into movies are not very different from tradwife influencer propaganda but aimed at a different demographic.

If you're a fan of a big media property, a really dedicated and invested fan, you have to learn to respond to criticism of that thing in a calm and reasonable manner rather than as a personal attack. In fact, you should learn to do the criticism yourself, without feeling embarrassed for liking it.

i'm just saying that i actually HAVE encountered a bear in the woods while hiking, and it was scary, but i held still and it left me alone because it was just going about its business. and it was far less scary and way cooler of a story than the time a guy chased me to my apartment gate

This isn't to say things aren't bad, but for a marginalised community where poor mental health is rampant it's so so important that we accurately assess threats and focus our energy on the fights that matter.

Indeed. This point can't be stressed enough. "Sex-based" is a term we've always used to describe *discrimination*, and its sudden mainstreaming as pseudo-feminism in the UK reveals it as a poison that unravels the entire liberal democratic architecture of civil rights. I wrote about it here.

I don't really deserve credit for highlighting this in print eight years ago, because it's so fucking obvious to anyone and everyone looking that Yud has no fucking clue that there are inherent constraints. c4ss.org/content/51493

It never stops astonishing me that issues of complexity are rarely discussed in this context. There are deep and fundamental limitations both to what can be known and what can be processed. This is one of the deepest and most consequential insights of the last century. And yet continually these thought experiments not only assume that P=NP, they fail entirely to explore what we can say should our normal assumption hold instead.

The notion for example where an AI in a box infers a priori the physics of the material world and then likely details about planets and the emergent species is clearly beyond absurd. There are computational limits on our universe and they matter.

This is very straightforwardly downstream of "GC beliefs are protected beliefs"

He told the hearing on Monday: "The requirement to have a second interview, which arose simply from the respondent discovering that Mr Ngole held a protected characteristic, in this case a belief, then meant they imposed upon him requirements that were not imposed on anyone else."

Men's entitlement to extracting sex from women at any cost (to the woman), ignoring all signs of distress or pain or inability to actively participate, doesn't come from some abstract "biological" cause but a culture that reinforces sex as a woman's only function. We have not progressed past that.

I’d also like to add: it’s not an epidemic. What’s really happening is: back in the old days, if you no longer wanted to talk to your parents, you’d just move to another state and that’s the end of that. Now, we live in an era where your parents can Facebook stalk you at all times.
