I can't believe that we've managed to escalate past seeing parents as negligent for letting their kids walk home from school or play outside. Is this the new normal? You are negligent if you let your kids ... talk to…

Responsibility is to those that give status. Duty of the pro-social sort is what you buy status (regard) with. Neither subjective or consensus accounts of truth (neither of which correspond with postmodernism or…
Of course you don't get it: you're not autistic. Did you expect to get it? There's what's that quote about good art disturbing the comfortable and comforting the disturbed. Eating is very stressful for many autistic…
Yup, these people are perfectly fine. They don't need to identify each other and band together. No one is targeting them[0]. They need to stop making mountains out of molehills[1]. It's not like anything bad has ever…
Pricing in externalities (such as national defense impact) is a basic function of economic policy. I searched 'economics 101 strategic industries' and found this[1] within 30s which includes an overview of 'national…
The past challenges are available too: https://dyalog.com/apl-challenge.htm I found working through them was helpful when learning K, and comparing the solutions to other languages can be illuminating.
i2p could be an option
I was making the deontological argument because I assumed that was the meta-ethical framework you were using, which can be extended by just saying "abiding by moral commitments and oaths is a matter of moral necessity".…
Federal employees swear a constitutional oath that supersedes presidential order and they have civil service protections beyond what most workers have available. Many are in unions. As executive workers, they have a…
The technique might have 'merely' prevented deep sleep due to interruptions; similar to why uberman[1] doesn't work. When I was younger I stayed up to see what happens. The worst experience of my life was when I lied…
The thing being pathologized here - gender fluidity - is at its heart nothing more than willful insubordination. Hate doesn't require anger, and control isn't love.
Wow what a blast from the past. Sounds like /r/Tulpas. I've always thought it was a purely rhetorical trick + disassociation, and obvious what is happening and why. Sleep deprecation has always been part of it since…
Making excuses for abuse is just as unhealthy as seeing it everywhere. I have been diagnosed both autistic and adhd and I experienced food insecurity despite living in a house with several balconies and a detached…
Fascism's power is situated on lying to a 'chosen majority' and telling them they are special, unique, destined for greatness, etc. (often by simultaneously giving them insecurity - that if they don't take up the mantle…
I call it a kink because I attract women with the kink. I'm referring to pragmatics not semantics; the use of dictionary definitions is a category error. No, I was not bullied. People like I describe would posture, I…
(Dominance-related) insecurity is being pathologically averse to being seen as weak, which leads to preferring dominance as form over dominance as function. If the meek hippie gets everything he wants from his wife, his…
These are positive feedback loops. Perhaps "anti-social runaway" would be a good description.
Suppose a model of reality M (which makes predictions) and doesn't admit a higher metaphysical plane as part of the model. Now assume Mp does admit a higher metaphysical plane and makes the same predictions as M for all…
The crux is the word 'I'. When I say 'I' think, do I mean the conscious part of me which has direct experience of that thinking? If so, then I am denying all the of the thinking that 'I' don't do, but my brain/body…
Whether it matters if attackers control filenames depends on the threat model. I can think of a few where it doesn't matter. One example: you provide managed web application hosting and have some scripts that check…
People with obsessive tendencies may believe (less than consciously) that avoiding mistakes is the only way they can be loved but that it is okay because they can become perfect 'eventually' with enough work. Finishing…
The problem is that while they have most of the good learning resources locked away, they are frequently aligned towards other goals, and they are structured in ways that make that clear. I didn't go to college because…
Ignorance is the natural human state, and no one should feel ashamed of it. Everyone is ignorant of more things than they are not ignorant of. Often feeling dumb/not understanding is just a product of not having the…
