hatred of Yoko Ono is far more banal. in fact, her music is quite interesting if you can get over the experimental hump

it is definitely performative. however, being performative isn't bad. I can appreciate people performing hatred of the Beatles. you don't see it that much, bc they are really hard to hate!

There was an interview with Ozzy Osbourne in Rolling Stone about 25 years ago where Ozzy mentioned that Johnny Rotten had told him that he hated the Beatles. Ozzy’s response was “How can you not like the Beatles? That’s like saying you don’t like air.”

ur only allowed to not like the Beatles if you grew up in Liverpool and had a competing skiffle band that didn't make it. everyone else can just not make pro Beatles statements as a silent protest if they so desire

the fact that things are economically ok for the most part in America is not compelling to a majority of voters. Democrats need to tell a story of overcoming or fixing economic hardship in order to win elections, even if it's factually inaccurate

my conclusion is that the majority of people are not interested in Truth when it comes to organizing society. they are interested in the story. so in order to improve things, politicians and social scientists have to tell a compelling story, whether or not it's true.

my wife is an MD and we have two beautiful kids. I'm a stay at home dad.
I don't understand why conservative men think women can't be the sole breadwinner. my wife loves being a doctor.
I love taking care of our kids. it's win win for us and all I had to do was accept having no career

I stand corrected. there's no reason to move to Cleveland. it's not really nice there and there's not tons of resources like two amazing library systems. no one should move there and drive up housing prices.

when I mentioned that: Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Rochester, Syracuse, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and more, have affordable housing, the replies I got were: "but but but there's no good ramen restaurants" (not even true, btw)

I agree, nothing keeps me up at night more than the idea of Audhd heart surgeons explaining to a dead patient's family that he just didn't have enough time to decide which clamp to use on the artery he accidentally knicked

furthermore, we need to be able to distinguish between the slower and faster doctors in order to filter them into the correct specialties. doctors who figure stuff out slower can be PCPs, and doctors who figure stuff out fast can be heart surgeons

there are some career paths where being faster is important. like doctors.
doctors shouldn't be given accommodations like your friend. they need to figure shit out fast, because it's life or death.

"crime" is a set of human behaviors. "justice" is another set of human behaviors in reaction to the first set.
there are several ways of changing human behavior: medication, imprisonment, withholding or providing material support.
