What do you mean by tribalism?

What is inconsistent about thinking hate speech should be deplatformed and porn shouldn't be? Or vice versa? It seems to me like you're implying that the only reasonable and honest principle of free expression is completely absolute and anything else is cynical.

People can agree on the value of free expression and agree that there should be limits which align with their values while their values diverge. Is people having different values tribalism?

JoJo has been a hit manga series since the 80's

They can be not ok and you just deal with it. The presence of conflict and cognitive dissonance isnt doublethink.

Most of Orwell is misunderstood in an aesthetic or superficial way unfortunately.

No one is barred from reading these books.

So you singled out this person by using a different speech pattern than you would normally use so that you wouldn't have to accommodate a request to use a different set of pronouns in your normal speech while referring to that person?

How do you define doublethink?

Yes.

Do you have an axe to grind?

Facebook hires low quality engineers.

All pronouns are made up.

> He's routinely called a transphobe.

Because he routinely harasses other trans people and has a coterie of cis people chomping at the bit to bully trans kids he retweets and mocks. He's not called that for the quote you chose. I think similarly the rest of your points are warped and exaggerated to fit your view that you are under siege by "open lunatics" because you're tired of certain people you find undesirable having a collective voice all of a sudden.

All words are made up and no one is going to fine you or jail you for being a jerk.

"This professor is in charge of the team/ that tells us whether the song is racist or not? His Twitter account is filled with race baiting and cry baby [Black Lives Matter] junk," the caption below the photo read. "UT better get it together and use its brains, not this biased 'victim' professor at UT!"

There is no ambiguity to me when people complain about cancel culture. It is a thin veil.

This is completely off topic but are you aware that governments are parts of economic systems and there are kinds of governing closely associated with capitalism as a whole?

Brev I think they'd make an exception for an alien baby found in an escape pod.

Yes.

I dont think it will ever be worth reading a Bari Weiss piece.

Garbage in garbage out applies to markets too.

Anyone who tells you history is shaped by the opinions of scholars is ill informed on the mechanisms of the world. What is true is that political forces will rationalize the actions they take for their material interests by finding a convenient fig leaf.

The people who spread this theory about the decline of the Islamic golden age likely also believe that the Iconoclasm was really about graven images or that the ascendancy of the West was due to the people with all the power accepting the arguments of bookish nerds during the enlightenment.

There were emperors of China who used Laozi to justify the burning of books. Do you think they were just being principled in their hyperliteralist reading?

You're not left wing. You're a liberal.

These are the ideals of capitalism in the same way that the ideals of European feudalism are those of upholding the natural order of things as mandated by God.

The media helped the Bush administration manufacture consent for the second gulf war. The infamous lies peddled on every major news channel and newspaper are recorded for all time.

Parenti wrote Inventing Reality and Chomsky wrote Manufacturing Consent in the 80's. Your examples of lies that that you believe demonstrate how especially bad media is today just reveal that you only notice certain exaggerations or interpretations of news that go against your politics.

I presume you think yourself unbiased too.

A minor point on the history: the term intensional had been in use decades prior as counterpart of extensional ot denotational. What Carnap did was give those terms a technical foundation in model theoretic language.

> But in science fields, authors names don't really matter. The same outcome will exist regardless who is studying it.

I'm curious, how much experience do you have in scientific academia? Names matter a great deal in my experience. A lot of results are simply ignored if they're not backed by a big name, and many experiments will simply not be done unless there's a big name to attract funding in the first place.

State of the art chip fabs require some of the most advanced technology we've developed, the purest materials we can produce, and the most stringent environments we can maintain.

This generalizes to convolution in an arbitrary group (and even groupoid, and even category), not necessarily one that is commutative like the reals or integers are. For group convolution over a group G, the functions take values in the complex numbers and have domain the elements of G. The value of the convolution of two such functions f and g at a point c (a group element) is computed by taking the sums f(a)*g(b) where ab = c.

This has applications in quantum mechanics where non-commutativity plays a prominent role.

I would not consider the philosophy of those three writers to be the same philosophy.

You might have AD(H)D. It is underdiagnosed in adults. CBT can help many cases by practicing focus and attentiveness.

That's not what the OP was saying. The argument is if somebody can take Silver's model's predictions over time and produce a better next estimate than it, then Silver's model is incoherent about its own beliefs.

Taleb is seriously proficient at probability which can be judged from his technical publications.
