I could dispute all your economic explanations and their implicit premises. It's precisely where a reasonable debate ought to happen. But it's also where you dismiss the debate with a "what else you got" and "fuck it I'm done". Left superstitions are currently worse than right.

No, I said fuck it I’m done because you can’t distinguish between disbelief in biologic differences and belief in not-discriminating on those differences. You’re part of the problem.

The official story on the left is that differences whatsoever between humans are unthinkable and unspeakable. From which absurd benchmarks are set for determining what kind of discrimination is or isn't good or bad. Where reason is taboo remains only opinions backed by violence.

Sure. And be assured people outside your tribe lol right back at you. Now, can you have a rational debate when you have the opportunity? You certainly don't have to, but then you're part of the problem with the intertribal communication breakdown.

I find that doubly interesting, because we're also part of the same tribe along a completely different dimension, in which case we're both in the same marginal group struggling with breakdown of communication with the mainstream.

I think your involvement in the Common Lisp tribe is deeply different than my involvement with Clojure. I’ve only ever used it in a commercial setting once, and found it somewhat problematic in that context.

But we both care about things like software, programming language design, dynamism, reflection, the system paradigm, and orthogonal persistence, where each of these concerns is largely ignored in its wider context. That does give us some commonality of thought in one dimension.

I find your political views to be unpalatable to even discuss. This entire experience has been quite unpleasant. I will not reply to any further messages on any of these topics.

I split my twitter in two so my interests wouldn't interfere with each other. Unhappily, others don't do as much, so my computer feed is rife with political opinions that *I* find unpalatable. My apologies for bothering you off topic (using my other account).

If anything, it was meant as a compliment to you, because I believed (and still do) that you're much more capable of civil rational discussion than most, and was curious whether our commonalities on one dimension could lead to a fruitful argument alongside another. It couldn't.
