    Far and away the greatest privilege is time privilege -- being born now, as opposed to a century or millennium earlier.

    Do you ever start typing out a tweet and just, “nah, it’s not worth it.”

    For whom do you have more contempt -- millionaire bigot Saira Rao making $2,500 a pop lecturing white women about their racism and privilege, or the white women chomping at the bit to pay that kind of money to be debased in their own homes?

    Universities have institutionalized employment discrimination under the auspices of “diversity.” The University of California system is simply more transparent.

    When you straw man, not only do you do a disservice to another idea, but you do a disservice to your own, by insulating it from the rigor and discipline of challenging arguments. Without contraries is no progression.

    I’m generally surprised and saddened to see many philosophers react to ideas with moral outrage rather than careful argumentation and exploration. The whole point of philosophy is to challenge, provoke, and wrestle with ideas.

    Language has *nothing* to do with gender equality. Otherwise Iran would be a world leader in it, since our language has no gendered words at all. Let’s stop this nonsense and focus on education and subsistence, which have always been the drivers of equality throughout history.

  17. The thing about noble lies is they only work in specific narrow contexts. When the context changes even slightly, the noble liar has to do crazier and crazier things to keep the lie going. (The interpersonal version of this is the subject of many movies.)
