This post is in response to Danny Canhams post, The Naked Truth: Continuing a Discussion on Anger. Go read that first. And then come back here. Anger is a powerful emotion, but the use of anger in discussion, especially. Its okay if its an old white guy getting angry. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. Obnoxiousness, objective reality, and finding one's own untruth. I'm slogging my way through Nick Land's summary of the Dark Enlightenment. Aka Neoreaction) as research for a presentation to the Western Libertarians, and I come across this interesting tidbit. In an otherwise headache-inducing discussion of. In service to some foreign belief. 8212;say, a postmodernist denial of objectivity? Put another way, it would be interesting find out if ther...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. AS Elections 2015: Why Do We Even Bother. It's election time yet again at Western Washington University, and times are desperate. Last year, a scant seven percent. Of the student body voted in the election. Where did it go wrong? Times I wrote about student electoral politics at WWU, things got a bit. lively. Hopefully this starts a discussion as well! The 2014 election marks the third straight year of precipitous decline. Elsewhere in the articl...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. Be careful with that 'marketplace of ideas' metaphor. In many discussions that swirled around the Internet in the wake of Brendan Eichs resignation from Mozilla Corp. Someone invariably invoked the concept of the marketplace of ideas—just as in the market for physical goods or services, ideas themselves. But its worth noting some possibly uncomfortable implications. Links to this post. What if. We focused on families, rather than "marriage"?

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. Wednesday Links - 5 August 2015. Here's some of the stuff I've read about this week that's worth a comment or two. Meet Rachel Paul, the Face of Juggalo Feminism. Paul simultaneously resembles both a 1960s hippie feminist and a Juggalette. She wears wraps around her head. Walking around the Gathering, you'll see her in a wife-beater, but at night she wears long robes while working as a tarot reader in the Gathering's Bizzaro World tent. Style fak...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. On the rigged-world fallacy and pullback error. Fact: Ancient Carthage was 300x more metal than the modern day. Here's a quick thought on the eve of the new year. So far so elementary. But now consider a bit of geometry. Imagine a two-dimensional rectangle sitting inside three-dimensional space—like a floating rigid sheet of paper. We could draw a circle on that sheet of paper and fill it in. Call the filled-in space A. In politics, for example, ...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. This post is a tangential follow-up to:. I will soon be working on a non-Marxist fix-up of an article. From the Harvard Political Review called "On Privilege: A Leftist Critique of the Left":. Let me be clear that my criticism of discussions of privilege is not that they are too radical. My quarrel, to the contrary, is that they are not radical enough. The cultural Marxism of the mid-20. Under p.c. culture, the same idea can be expressed ...My ca...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. The human rights of economics. In a previous post. I outlined an economic definition of human rights and used that to briefly analyze the current struggle between social conservatives and the LGBT community. Now I want to flip the script and examine the moral choices around societys bottom rungs. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Until then: do I contradict myself?

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. Art, identity, and criticism: A miscellany. There's been a subtle confluence of things in my mind recently, so I might as well tighten up the loose connections and write about them. And if it's disjointed, well, so it goes. First, I'm reading through Steven Pinker's. The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature. Postmodernists were even more dismissive. Beauty, they said, consists of arbitrary standards dictated by an elite. Consumers of vi...

All Thoughts Being Equal. A place for new ideas to settle. The parable of the psychosis mists. Because you can never have just one. Any similarities to the empires in this story and hyperbolic keyboard warriors in the wider Internet are almost certainly mist-borne figments of the reader's imagination. Then someone actually listened:. I know of your terrors in the night! My village discovered the truth some time ago, and fashioned this protective garb; but not only has your village not. But some of the vi...
