What we're Nietzsche's opinions on politics/women? I'm not surprised based on the bit of his work that I read that he has some unappealing thoughts on women, but am surprised to here his politics may be problematic as we

again, I got the vaccine and I'm not anti-vax, but why are people getting downvoted for making valid points just because they aren't following the popular narrative. Did this website become reddit? You can acknowledge someone made

I know most reasonable people disagree with this persons views, but why are they getting downvoted? They made a reasonable point and provided a source from the CDC. I'd much rather see a rebuttal than downvotes and no response. Definit

yeah, I'm very far from being right-wing or anti-vaccine or anything like that, but I've been unsettled by this whole thing. I don't think there are microchips in the vaccine, and it's probably a good idea to get the vac

I have to assume there's a decent chance that the designer started this suit to gain some attention and attract homophobic customers, and contribute to their christian marriage web dev companies brand. Could be wrong, they could just r

You lept straight from "Sometimes these mental tools produce correct results" (which is true) to "These tools are the only way to produce correct results" (a ridiculous distortion). Those aren't mutually exclusive.

I'm guessing based on his business practices and attitude in interviews/statements. I don't claim to be an expert though, that's why I qualified my post stating that's it's purely my speculation, just like the

maybe I'll write a short story about Bezos and Musk both wanting to become the savior of earth and competing to save humanity first/better to feed their own egos, to the point where they start sabotaging each others efforts to gai

This is just my own speculation, equally as invalid as the authors, but at most I'd say Bezos thinks his goals are entirely genuine, but it's entirely based on narcissism and wanting to be the only one smart/powerful enough t

~18-25 IIRC is the normal age for prodromal schizophrenia to occur(the early phase where symptoms begin to manifest) so that makes sense. If you don't get it by that age it's extremely unlikely to start experiencing symptoms at an

also it's 2% "of diagnosis" connected to marijuana use. So the difference would be if marijuana use is more commonly known/reported, regardless of whether they have 100 or 10000 diagnosis

I have literally seen an article before that said prodromal(pre/early onset) schizophrenia leads to Marijuana use, and I remember wondering at the time how they knew which way the causation went. I'm also not sure if it's jou

That's kind of expected though right? "Cutting off the network of people that moderates my views and is making my views less moderate." I understand that people can be harsh nowadays, presumably because they often find the vi

If trying to come up with one of these ideas anyway, that is a good way to find one. Ask yourself, if there is one thing that I might be able to think of, that almost nobody else in the world can, what would it be? What unique combination o

Is it reasonable to say the universe might be superdeterministic, but in the example of choosing measurements for an experiment(or almost any other example imaginable), it might as well be truly random as the causal links affecting the inst

I've had the same issue, and out of the many therapists I've seen only 1 was effective. Many people have trouble finding decent therapists, and I could go on for hours about bad ones - e.g one who went through the DSM, starting wi

I view it as a more inconvenient, less effective(but still effective), but more obtainable(in many states) form of Suboxone. It can stave off withdrawal, cravings, etc. And it can get you high and be it's own addiction. It's still

I didn't know that there were no laws requiring companies to act in the interest of shareholders, I guess that's a common myth. It still seems pretty evident that the power structure at larger companies necessitates that people do

I understand your individual points, but not your final conclusion. It gives me the sense that you think maximizing profits for shareholders is "the greater good", moreso than doing what(in the opinion of employees) is right. I to
