Are you a dunce, or just too cowardly to stand behind your own words? Introduction of a group opposed to MRA: "the vocal, hateful group of internet 'feminists' constantly claim the…

Don't be disingenuous. Your comment introduced a group opposed to MRA's existence, then argued that they were wrong in doing so. As for the rest, I have no interest in labeling peo…

The post I replied to was, in part, a (poorly worded) justification of the need for "men's rights advocates," and that is the part I chose to reply to. If you're angered by my disa…

Just because you have no response to something doesn't make it trolling. The men's rights movement as it is should not exist. Not because male inequality is covered by feminist ide…

Men's rights advocacy is, as a movement, pretty much the same thing as the whole "war on Christmas" crap that comes up on right wing TV every year. It has no legitimacy because it'…

The comments here are absolutely disgusting. Sure, this service is shallow, and absolutely disrespectful of privacy, etc... But the amount of faux outrage you're all whipping yours…

.... looking for http://getcontinuum.com ? :)

A transcript would be nice! But I doubt there's one out there; it took a lot of trawling to find a mirror of the podcast in the first place, unfortunately.

So, it took a while to dig up a working link, but there's a memorable/revealing story I listened to a while ago about a visit to Brad Blanton's Radical Honesty workshop... worth a …

Not trying to do anything more than make a side comment, but: > If she could also make the perfect waffle, that would be desirable, too. is the sort of casual sexism that I'd love …

Further... that's what the article was suggesting, too, although without the totalitarian overtones: "We start by accepting that food and shelter are basic human rights."

I disagree. Your belief that "new jobs take their place" will only remains true so long as increases in demand can keep pace with productivity: Sure, there's more demand out there …

> Why now? Because increases in consumption are no longer able to keep pace with increased productivity?

> low-level annoyances ... like abusive former partners, death threats, being involuntarily outed, etc etc etc. Calling these things "low-level annoyances" betrays a deep self-abso…

Yes indeed; if you want cultural diversity, head on out to the ghettos!

I read the article. Directly before the excerpt you quoted, as related by the same individual, you have the following quotes: a) "Most of the kids had left", b) "obviously at that …

> Same thing in today's USA. The mob of teens who broke Emily Guendelsberger's leg could not be arrested because the policemen were afraid of charges of racism. I don't get it: Arr…

An interesting combo, even just as a thought experiment: bitcoin + mental poker. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_poker ) Wonder if there's a way to distribute a pot that does…

As a very random anecdote, I attended NYU myself ages ago and while I was not a business student, I did take classes at Stern. Unless things have changed, the amount of cheating in…

IIRC, if you're really interested in that, you can munge up a bridge w/ Asterisk. Not sure if anyone's SAASing it anymore, though.

I'm not sure you understand me. To illustrate with an extreme: If we happened to be hard-wired by evolution to be tremendously predisposed towards genocidal behavior, would that ma…

> we are also largely effected by our cognitive and biological biases I agree completely that these biases exist. However, to use a programming term, our biases are implementation …

Of course -- however, the default used to be "On the internet, nobody know's you're a dog." There were very few sites, especially online communities, that would require your real n…

Your basic underlying thesis here is that we are all hard-wired lemmings, slaves to our biology, with limited capacity to adjust our behavior on the basis of reasoned morality. I r…

While I think privacy and gender issues are incredibly important symptoms, there's a deeper debate being had here: Will the internet of the future be a place where your persona can…
