>Do you mean that the victim-blaming is what these people actually believe and therefore it's a form of "truth" That's obvious to the point of uselessness. I think we're on the same page re: victim-blaming being a big problem. I don't

The psychologist you cite I myself cited. The point of discussing anything is that no discussions lead to more rape. Unless you're afraid. If you're afraid that real discussion will cause more rape, and that the sacrifice of real understan

Are you saying you can't comprehend what I was trying to mean? Your second paragraph is exactly the attitude that I despise. I don't care what your intent is: the effect is you want to hide what people really think. There are no tools to ha

You're flat-out wrong. The word "necessary" has so many connotations that you can't control it. Necessary means that it happens whether or not you want it to. Necessary hurts.

And it's ineffective. If you have to say it's about opinion, you've already lost. I know that there are opinions that state that victim-blaming is a terrible thing. I even believe it. But we couldn't have this conversation unless this, _t

I think what I'm saying is that you're upset about a thing that is a necessary reaction to the telling of truth.

The worst things are often a truth that needs to be heard. You are writing from a position of fear. That people can express something that shouldn't be heard. You can't fight the truth. And you can't fight the open expression of it. The r

What I've heard, and this is almost worse than anecdotal evidence, is that HFT helps stocks converge on their true 'value' or 'equilibrium' much faster. This could, of course, be utter bullocks, and I have no way of tracking down the source

It's newsworthy because (I suspect) many of us think we're watching the pop of a bubble. At least, that's what I'm thinking.

lesswrong? You've just repeated more or less exactly what you initially said in this thread. This probably indicates that you're not making enough effort to understand why people are saying what they're saying. Yes, it also indicates, perh

You seem to be making two contradictory points that both miss the spirit of what I was saying. Certainly there are fields that are intentionally obfuscated and impenetrable. That doesn't mean the manner in which they are tangled is not out

"Code" to you is "explicit" to the target demographic culture. I'd argue that you are not in that culture--and though I wouldn't say you're being racist (and actually looking back it's _you_ that used the word racist first!), I would say t

In my experience "the rules of social engagement" are as often used to entangle and obstruct as they are to create civility. Think of "foot-in-the-door" phenomenon. Sometimes rudeness is respect, especially if it's an honest communication.
