I could state something similar about the US. The modern west is the biggest is the largest empire in history.

You can only precisely affirm this from inside the CCP. There's anti-communist propaganda, as much as there is communist propaganda. We are so removed from accurate descriptions of China that I cannot trust anything people talk about it. I can only hope that this is sincere.

Is she worth giving up every other person? That's the single point you should contemplate. No one can solve this for you.

Building a wall will make it harder for working immigrants to try to immigrate successfully while doing close to nothing to criminals who already don't give a fuck about US laws.

Please elaborate. I don't see the connection between body sovereignty and AIphobia.

How do you do shadow work? I can't find resources on this easily.

Boys do sex jokes from 8 to 108.

At least they're cute

This has been politicalized before we had language. Politics is about power, and so is ownership.

Sure, but it is part of being a responsible parent to supervise media consumption by children. Not only sex, but violence, horror movies, and drug use shouldn't be part of a 6 or 7-year-old child's repertoire. As they grow older to a pre-pubescent age, they should be informed about bodily changes and education on harassment prevention and reporting should be increased, problems of pornography and unprotected sex should also be informed. As puberty hits and develops, and with it sexual identity matures, you can talk in more detail about gender identity and sexual orientation. Children need to be children. Let them explore and incentivize them to figure out reality on their own. Both the binary gender paradox and the LBTQ+ perspective on gender are metaphysical constructions about part of our identities. And that part of our identities takes time to develop and shouldn't be so heavily influenced by society's biases.

This just increases the overall sexual obsession that fills our culture. Why are you teaching someone sexually immature about sex? Why don't we spend that energy to create the other socialization foundations that will lead to healthy exploration and discovery of sex and sexual identity when the time is due? If children do not feel sexual desire, why the need to discuss sexual preference? These things should be taught during puberty.

I didn't feel negativity at all. My question was genuine curiosity.

This is troublesome. Why are we focusing so much on the gender and sexual orientation of children? Why can't we let these questions naturally arise and deal with them as they do, instead of focusing so much on the different categories you can fit into? There comes a time when we naturally define our sexual identity and we seek the knowledge to handle this problem. I see no reason to constantly expose pre-pubescent children to so much unnecessary sexual information. Sexual education for children should be focused on abuse prevention. Sexual identity is a very delicate part of one's personality. It shouldn't be influenced like that.

Bunny can't fathom that those two views can coexist in someone's perspective.

Do you feel pleasure or fulfillment from this work?

This is some insight I needed. Been struggling with alcohol for some time. It's starting to affect my larger goals. Thank you for sharing

Parallax is an optical phenomenon in which due to the difference in the 2D images captured by each of your eyes, you're able to construct a 3D model of the world. The brain captures two different images and by their similarities and differences, constructs the 3D equivalent of it. It's our depth construction mechanism. Cognitive parallax is applying that to worldviews. Essentially, this is a rough summary of cognitive parallax. This goes beyond justification for an academic endeavor. Every justification is a construction that posits your actions and ethically grounds your action (why should you pursue this over any other interest). But, this is also a by-product of understanding cultural and linguistic limitations that constricts the imposed views you acquire through socialization. The rejection of the establishment of a method seen in Heidegger's Being and Time is an example of this. It is the acknowledgment of the essential myopia of every point of view.

Don't follow this. You will end up addicted to heroin.

Cognitive parallax is also present in Post-Modernist thinkers. I don't understand your distinction here.

It's not that simple, actually. Russia and Ukraine share a lot of cultural and historic backgrounds. The whole point is that countries must have the right to self-determination and sovereignty. The West in general frequently stifles the development of many countries by interfering with processes that lead to it. Ukraine hesitated to join the EU because its population is comprised of many Russian people and Ukranians with Russian families and economic partners. The request of cutting ties with Russia doesn't simply mean "don't buy or sell to Russia", it means not interacting with people very close to them. Life's aspects are closely intertwined and the interests of Europe and the US shouldn't supersede Ukranian ones if you're talking about their politics, their economics, and their lives. This whole pressure to give "freedom and democracy" to Ukraine just led to a lot of foreign intervention and blood on the ground. As Alan Watts once said, the US goes around the world saying "You better be democratic, or we'll shoot you!".

This is the summary of every Elon Musk venture.

The chaos of the fly is the order of the spyder.

This line of argumentation can be applied to every single state of mind you experience. What if you're just deceiving yourself while in a state you call "sober" or "normal"?

Is that a joke or a genuine question? Not sure how to respond to this hahahahahaha

I'm not justifying atrocities of war, but the west provoked this conflict to make Russia bleed resources. And the cost was a few billions and the lives of Ukranian innocents.
