Reply to Harvard women's hockey coach under fire after reported racist comments to Indigenous players by zsreport
Oh but she was simply following the Harvard tradition! Increase Mather, founding president of Harvard, wrote about native Massachusetts people that "their way of living is infinitely barbarous" etc. etc. Charming continuity at Harvard, rah rah! Carry on crimson!

Philosophy is a popularity contest where the 'greatest' is most able to sway legions of mediocre minds. Thus r/philosophy is born.

Reply to "Like painters bring brush to canvas and sculptors set chisel against marble, so do the magnificent use their wealth to bring about beauty and inspire wonder in their people's eyes. Thus Aristotle calls them artists" - On Generosity and Magnificence, Nicomachean Ethics by SnowballtheSage
That sounds like an even more windbag Ayn Rand. Doing the holy work for capitalist-realist apologies.

I too struggle with right-wing thoughts justifying and rewarding the behaviors of horrible people in order to make me amused for a few seconds. Help me philosophers!
edit: maybe we can also discuss how we prefer not to think of child slaves in diamond mines when proposing to each other in Disney World

Reply to Amia Srinivasan, philosopher: ‘We must create a sexual culture that destabilizes the notion of hierarchy’ by Logibenq
This sounds good, but why separate non-hierarchies into sexual and otherwise. If we are going for destabilized hierarchy, we should go all in.

New diet gadget by Apple: the iShock electrocutor, worn around the neck. In addition to boosting APPL stock, it also becomes a very strong fetish.

Reply to 30% of cancer contents on social media are unproven info. Some cancer patients use unproven alternative or supplementary treatments without consulting medical professionals, which leads to delaying or rejecting existing treatments, sharply reducing their survival possibilities. by Wagamaga

Reply to Embrace what may be the most important green technology ever. It could save us all by stepsinstereo
"The microbes they breed feed on hydrogen or methanol – which can be made with renewable electricity – combined with water, carbon dioxide and a very small amount of fertiliser. They produce a flour that contains roughly 60% protein, a much higherconcentration than any major crop can achieve (soy beans contain 37%,chick peas, 20%)."
We eat delicious, delicious cheese, and tasty bread, both using bacteria. If microbe flour could be scaled up, it could indeed solve world food mismanagement, and inspire endless varieties of local cuisines made from high protein microbe flour. (rebranded as something more palatable, like micro grain flour).
