Trying to be an independent thinker without being an asshole. Not apologizing for being a cis white het male, but also accepting that I have a responsibility to oppose the lunatic members of my tribe and help you better understand the non-lunatic ones.

My wife has given me a Valentine's Day envelope addressed to "pudq'snH," which any true devotee of Star Trek will tell you is a Klingon term of endearment, meaning "The One I Will Kill Last," introduced in the classic Next Generation epis-

What?

I don’t know how you save a civil rights movement where the people who need the civil rights have been replaced by people that just want attention.

Trump is the worst international negotiator ever. In his first term he lost Afghanistan. In his second term, he inherits the opportunity to bankrupt Russia and set the stage for Putin to get removed from power. Now watch him give it all up like a little bitch.

Republicans are used to being accused of being sexist bigots who lack empathy. That's practically their brand.

What they haven't been until now are cowards who are soft in Russia. Which is exactly what Trump is doing when he gives Putin everything he wants in Ukraine.

Preppers are not the same thing as conservatives. During COVID the real peppers were the ones who didn't bitch about lockdowns, wore masks, and got their families vaccinated as soon as it was possible. And they're the ones who have a stockpile of masks ready and waiting for the next pandemic.

He's probably trying to root out people studying healthcare disparities plus whatever RFK Jr hates. It's not going to work because universities will divert funds from other activities to keep their senior facility paid.

In case anyone was wondering whether Trump would serve the working class or the billionaire class, here's a picture that spells it out pretty clearly.

the level 1 take is irrational hatred
this is the level 2 take
the level 3 take is rejecting level 1, but understanding that a whole lot of people are still there, and not letting level 2 thinking disarm you against them.

1/ I recently thought of a rational, humane way to frame tradition: the default settings that one is free to change. But you have to have a starting default configuration, and it might as well be your own culture, because whose else?

I've never been one to automatically accept my culture's traditional norms just because they are traditional. The last five or so years were a crash course in why I also should not automatically reject my culture's traditional norms just because they are traditional.

When what should be a scientific question becomes so politicized there are valid scientific papers getting surprise-retracted *after* peer review (unherd.com/2020/06/eneu...) or a researcher suppresses her own negative results (www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/s...) ...
