I am one of those guys who call themselves rational unironically. I try to be reasonable, which usually gets me accused of being a filthy centrist.

    Generalization: As the set of false things is far greater than the set of true things, anything optimized for something other than truth is likely to be false. E.g. the most exciting news, the most heartwarming video, etc.

    The dirty little secret is that many in the new upper class, on left and right alike, in their heart of hearts, do think that their moral worth is linked to their IQ.

    Few things amaze me more than some people’s ability to go “bill maher is smart no wait he disagreed with me he’s terrible no wait now he’s good again” in perfect tandem with whatever opinion he happens to shoot from the hip at the time.

    One frustrating thing about arguments in the 21st century is that you can see people saying "nobody thinks X" and "X is true" in the *same thread*. Remember when we all thought that the internet would force people to engage with opposing points of view? 😐

    1: claims scientific consensus is on his side 2: refers sneeringly to "hereditarians" and "race scientists" instead of evolutionary psychologists who disagree 3: "can't believe we're still having this discussion in 2020" 4: Proud socialist, pronouns in bio Every time.

    The five steps of an SJW argument: Step 1: “X isn’t real” Step 2: Disparage motives Step 3: Change definitions mid-argument Step 4: “lol” She is only missing step 5, writing “I HAVE A DEGREE” in all caps 🙄

    My husband is reading The Lord of the Rings to the boys at bedtime, and he reads with *verve*. So sometimes I'm relaxing, winding down for the day, and suddenly the entire neighborhood can hear RIDE NOW! RIDE! RIDE TO RUIN AND THE WORLD'S ENDING! DEATH! DEATH!! FORTH EORLINGAS!

    Strange. If I were arguing that a group of scientifically minded people was wrong about something, I’d open by saying “here are the facts that you got wrong”. Weirdly enough, the “X isn’t real” people always seem to spend their time arguing about definitions instead.

    It’s weird how people like this are effectively male supremacists. They accept that men are physically superior and have greater social achievements, then deny that women could have any advantage in empathy. Isn’t that basically just saying that men are better?

    The science is clear: there is no single physiological or biological marker that allows for the simple categorisation of people as human or shark.

    In 2013 I was still a radfem. To me, MRAs represented misogyny because men were oppressive and women were victims. The only topic I was an “MRA” on at that point was circumcision (since 2010 when prego with my 1st son) 1/2

    1: point out the ultimate subjectivity of all concepts 2: declare that a certain concept is therefore social 3: tell a one-sided social story of the concept 4: accept that this is now the definition of that concept 5: declare your opinion as a matter of definition

    The short answer is, I read the Sequences, and realized I was fighting a rearguard action against the truth.

    The central assumption leading to almost all philosophical puzzles is this one proposition: “For x to be important, x must be magical” My whole schtick is rejecting this proposition.

    Bernie is a traditional leftie who is purely focused on the working class, and I find that super refreshing. I feel like a lot of people are portraying his lack of caring about culture war issues as him implicitly choosing the other side, and I don’t think that’s fair at all.

    It is perfectly all right to criticize Bernie's campaign for associating with Linda Sarsour, just as you can accuse him of having sexist campaign staff. But if you think one of those things is automatically transferable to him and the other isn't, you are devoid of principle.

    Anti-semitism is something I take very seriously, and I absolutely recognize that it's a problem on the left. It is for that exact reason that using it as a cynical bludgeon against the other team is so despicable, just like when SJWs do the same with charges of racism.

    No seriously. Week one of trying to engage with "reasonable SJWs" which progressives keep insisting we never do, and I'm already down to the last name on my shortlist. Don't fail me, . You're my only hope. 😪

    I'm still blown away by people who think that fans of an old show shouldn't be allowed to get irritated when a corporation takes that show's name and tries to use its fame in order to sell an either completely terrible or perfectly mediocre remake.
