There are a million ways to try to deny the forbidden conclusion, but none of them has withstood empirical scrutiny. Twin studies, adoption studies, etc. The only hypothesis that f…

You're indulging in a huge fiction: that people freely choose what to read and what to believe. Your beliefs are a product of your environment, and your environment was traditional…

Do some research about exactly who is randomly attacking all of these Asians. You'll find that I'm right: it's basically just a huge uptick in black-on-asian violence.

"More racial tension in the US" I've seen no evidence of increased asian-related racial tensions aside from black people cold-cocking more Asians than usual. I don't think black st…

Trump Derangement Syndrome (which is more than mere opposition to Trump) is a religious phenomenon and its adherents are just as incapable of acknowledging their irrationality as f…

So the question is who decides. Do you let rich coastal Americans determine what you're allowed to talk about or do you let local powers make those decisions? Indians aren't very f…

They face a hostile media and political complex, as well as several thousand aggressively activist employees, that all demand that right-wing information be suppressed. If Facebook…

No good guys but the oligarchic silicon valley information complex is a definite bad guy that crowds out competing platforms where alternative views might flourish.

But maybe it will be run by Indian people, who will enforce Indian values, and who are accountable to their Indian families and Indian peers and Indian law.

Funny that no one was banned for saying, as many did, that it was impossible for it to have come from a Chinese lab. Those asymmetries in enforcement always seem to lean in the sam…

No, it's because the platform policies enforce a foreign social order. In America, we have our own pieties and taboos and these social media platforms heavily enforce them. Transge…

No sane country can allow their public discourse to be controlled by the peculiar moral pieties of the American elite class. True, important information, e.g. that covid-19 may hav…

Sometimes you really just do need a 500 line function.

You are making the middle ground fallacy.

Since Bitwarden is end-to-end encrypted, the risk isn't who hosts the data but who controls chrome extension and App Store updates. Bitwarden's servers being compromised would caus…

Some people are not self-driven but can still do good work if subjected to stronger authority. It's ultimately a business decision as to whether it's worth providing that kind of a…

Maybe it's you who doesn't understand the epistemology of science. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27185221

Yes, it does. This is exactly how you pick holes at research. What factors didn't it look at? That helps us understand the limits of what we can deduce from the data. Can we think …

There is no individual liability for sexual harassment in the US, only for employers. Anyway, my point was just to respond to someone claiming there was criminal liability.
