putting comprehensive ingredients lists would also encourage food policing
in the interest of equity, we need t o remove all labeling from all foods
"you mean all NUTRITION labeling right, @morlockp ? Not ALL labeling?"
if I'd meant that, I'd've said that.https://twitter.com/edgar_a_bitch/status/1485763130139500544 …

4/ So, it turns out that
@destroyed4com4t has very bad reading comprehension. I did not say that "women are like children". [ to be clear, I do believe that; I'm just pointing out that I didn't say it here ]. What I said was "this framework proves X"https://twitter.com/destroyed4com4t/status/1486086939350474754 …Show this thread -
5/ This is an example of the concept of "your argument proves too much". This is a general critique that can be used to attack arguments. If you have an argument that people don't respond to price incentives for butter, you have to make sure that your proof of that isn't >

6/ a general purpose proof that "people don't respond to price incentives", because we have evidence that they do respond to price incentives on commodity X and Y and Z, and so now we have disprove your argument via proof by contradiction.

7/ "if X is legally recognized as Y then X is Y"
Rani has just argued that during the temporal and physical extent of Nazi Germany Jews were rats.

8/ there's an interesting thing about dumb people, that they can't separate out the truth value of a particular set of facts from the correctness of a logical argument that uses those facts

9/ e.g. in this case, one might even agree "trans women are women" and still be able to crisply point out that "saying that if trans women are legally recognized as women then they are women" is an absolute garbage argument because legal recognition does not drive reality

10/ I'm reminded in the 1980s and 1990s the Brights loved to point out how dummmmb fundamentalists are by citing some law passed in a southern state saying that pi was 3. Rani, though, is arguing that actually, pi was 3 there and then.

11/ I am extremely libertarian, and kind of extropian. I'm in favor of allowing extreme body modification, cloning, cybernetic enhancements, etc. [ 50% bc freedom is good, 50% bc attempts to forbid it will be worse than the thing itself, and 50% bc it'll happen anyway ]

12/ I support the right of both cis women and trans women to get cybernetic legs. ...and yet I would argue track-and-field events for women should not put women with cybernetic legs up against the weak flesh of normie women.
