In both instances, you’re the moral agent who gets to decide. And it’s not our advantage in intelligence or wisdom, it’s our advantage in mass.

Morals have power dynamics, CMM.

No TERF is a feminist. It’s just in the name. Like how North Korea calls it’self “Democratic”, and the Nazis called themselves “Socialist”.

What’s going on with Dawkins? I have followed his decline with interest.

I saw a YT video last week that referenced Dawkins’ work, and I was like, Oh yea, he used to be a respected scientist before he became an Epstein Island public bigot and TERF. Fame did to Dawkins what the One Ring did to Gollam.

Just some context: Ancient Aliens is racist. It’s roots are literally Nazi.

You see, it’s only achievements in brown countries that need alien help. The Greeks didn’t need ET for the Colosseum, heavens no. We just scratch our head at Africans or Americans building pyramids and stuff.

In the 30s, Nazi “researchers” believed in something I’ll call “Ancient Aryans” which is exactly the same as Ancient Aliens except it’s pure Germans who are visiting these primitive cultures and raising architecture. What happened to the Germans? They were annihilated by in-breeding with locals of course.

I’m the same way. My Debian server is two versions out of date, but it’s still getting security updates and works, so why in the world would I upgrade?

Warning, Neruoscience has been known to lead to mental decline and in extreme cases even podcasting.

Stop making everything political!

The national anthem of people who love the status quo!

I started with Debian and am driving Catchy now. Catchy will pull you into the terminal more than Debian will, but you don’t sound like someone put off by that.

The good news is that pacman is easy to learn and Catchy’s default terminal app is superior.

Tech in general has a huge boomer-humor problem in that all those old fucks that wrote the original code stuffed it full of puns, in-jokes, and idioms that are only relevant today in retirement homes in Ohio.

And I don’t mean this is annoying or funny, but as a legitimate problem. It’s bad enough that you have to learn English to code, you also are disadvantaged for not sharing the culture with retirement age white dudes from America.

It wouldn’t be so bad if it was good boomer humor, but remember, these are the guys who think “Linux Is Not uniX” is funny.

Their are already Linux phone options. I’m talking about full-fat installations and even distro-hopping.

Of course science is political. Knowledge is power and all power systems are political.

But ignoring philosophy, Science is a charity. By in large they must beg for their money. You don’t suppose that the people providing the money have any influence?

And I’m not talking about junk science, biased studies, or even fraud. A perfectly run study may still be political simply because it was chosen for funding over something else.

You must have been of Microslop for a while if you think frustrating issues on update is a Linux thing. Just last a couple weeks ago, Microsoft released a security update that locked people out of their “C” drive. (In Windows, this is bad)

When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask “where is it going to impact” first.

Safe, clean, and renewable. It’s the energy source of the future.

I’ve been told that Kaczynski’s manifesto is compelling and some of his ideas about the danger in technology makes more sense now than when he was captured. I’m kinda scared to read it.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

I like to watch PBS spacetime on Youtube. It keeps me humble.

Believing that science yields universally true results or is the only method of finding truths

You just described science as though it were a belief system. In reality, science has a presumption that your ideals are false, not true. And a person who could only discover truth through science wouldn’t be able to dress or feed themselves.
