You are completely ignoring philosophy. It was the ideas of freedom, of the possibility of liberty for all, of equality of men, that made the whole enterprise possible. China had the tools, sure. But not the incentives. Their emperor could

Unironic: I get more actual news from the world socialist website than from the Guardian. Aside, there is axios.com, or the news section of Wikipedia.

Another great quote: "It [the installation of a socialist government in East Germany] has to look democratic, but we must control everything."

I cannot trust an article (podcast) where people say the following: > Historian Judith Bennett notes that medieval women made about 1d./day while men made 1 ½ or 2d./day when doing similar work, like brewing, as men. 700 years

As a fellow European working in research, I agree with every point. I am not having a good feeling about the future here.

If you need to appeal to the goodness of people's hearts, you know you've lost. The age of Enlightement and the idea of liberalism have been so powerful because they programmatically went against any kind of censorship. Their idea

Good point, but I am not sure how much weight it carries. Safety in numbers? You are fine as long as you don't offend anybody? Have we accepted censorship just like that? What is next, coded language to escape the thugs?

I used to feel to belong to "The Left" (whatever that is) precisely because it did not do these things. Now it does, and sees it even as a moral imperative to do so. I'm on the autism spectrum, as are many others around her

And fired from your job. And yelled at on the street. And prevented from working in your field ever again. And death threats. So, blacklisting: check. Excommunication: check. I'd rather not wait till it goes down further.

Glad you found the reply helpful. Regarding "but is it really mainstream": Difficult question. I believe the answer is a "yes" with many caveats and clarifications. How to define "mainstream"? Maybe your defini

To update you with an actual source on some of the points, you can start with Robin DiAngelo's book "White Fragility". Most of the points are argued in the book. DiAngelo's books have been many weeks on the NYT's be

I had a colleague from Cameroon (in Germany). He applied for a study visa, studied here, applied for a work visa, worked here, applied for German citizenship, got it. Same for people from Egypt and Nigeria I have met. People who claim there

Could be possibly because they were Czech? The culture is very different from what Americans are used to. Very reserved, very matter-of-fact, no smalltalk.

> women Except for Black women in the US. Together with Asian men (especially from India), they have a really, really tough time. There are a number of peer reviewed studies on the matter, it seems to be a stable pattern.

It's in the article: Opinion at NYT produces 10% of the output, but 20% of the views. Emotions, especially negative ones, drive engagement.

In important ways yes, and in important ways no. Yes: can deal with dynamic spatial environments, can act towards a goal (intentionality), some almost certainly can plan how to reache these goals. No: Use of symbols and recursive language.

It has worked very badly in Germany as well. In the year 1999, the UMTS licenses were auctioned based on Milgrom and Wilsom's ideas. The government's revenue was awesome, but it came at a high price. The telcos had to take up larg

I do not understand how you can have acceleration without changing position (at 10:06). Acceleration is the derivative of speed, which is the derivative of position change. If the position change is zero, how can the acceleration be non-zer

Oh god no. Lisa Barett-Feldman is mostly marketing, I do not see any great additions from her to the debate regarding emotions. Don't get me wrong, the state of affairs of theories of emotion is lamentable. But her views are (mostly) e

For me it's weird. It has worked well sometime in the past, but in the last half year or so it became close to unusable again. For instance, if I search something related Pandas (the Python package), it consistently gives me the doc on
