‪This captures why I dislike the terms “woke” or “snowflake.”

Criticize your opponents for being wrong, not for demanding justice.

I stumbled upon a pretty Wittgensteinian quote by Ziya Gökalp (1876–1924), a sociologist, poet, writer and politican often seen as the father of modern Turkish nationalism.

A nice little defense of pragmatism (1983) by Michael Levin.

Why Not Pragmatism?
My freshman English teacher told us that pragmatism was a businessman's philosophy, an assessment I have never seen any reason to dispute. Not that this is said in derogation. It

What I’d like to see philosophers do is taboo the use of “intuition” when writing essays or having conversations for a while, and see how that goes. What do you end up having to do to clarify what you are saying? I suspect the answer would be very informative.

There was this old suggestion from the rationality community from back in the day where you “taboo” a word (and any obvious synonym). This can put pressure on you to get clear about what you mean.

In his reply to a critical review of The Second Sexism, David Benatar basically argues:

There’s no force above us called patriarchy. We have gender role expectations. Patriarchy is one, but not the only important manifestation of this higher-order phenomenon.

This 697-word note by notorious white nationalist Greg Johnson was perhaps the most kickass contribution to America's racial reckoning discourse.

Superb piece on how autism effects dating—and incels.

- Most relationships begin as friendships.
- Social functioning explain much of romantic success.
- Around 1 in 3 of incels are autistics.
- Around 1 in 3 of autistics were never in a relationship.

Kevin Roberts of America’s leading conservative think tank, The Heritage Foundation, wrote a book that fuses futurism with conservatism.

This review offers a good reflection on the current alliances between tech and the right.
