@asymmetricinfo There's an asymmetry.
O’Sullivan’s First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.

Well, one reason this happens is that people don't like being around other people with whom they have deep moral disagreements.

"roughly 90 percent of politically relevant social science articles leaned left 1960–2024" 1. The lack of viewpoint diversity affects the questions that are being asked. Conservatives who are scholars sometimes ask different questions than progressives who are scholars! 2. The lack of viewpoint diversity obviously affects the answers that are given to a given question. 3. There is no conspiracy: Human beings naturally give less scrutiny to answers that conform to their prior views. This natural human tendency reinforces (at least on the margin) the dominance of progressive views in peer-reviewed journals. 4. This is such an obvious and major problem that is of first-order relevance to the central mission of universities. It is astonishing to me that the dominant view of faculty at elite universities is that the absence of scholars with conservative views is either desirable or not a big deal.

@OnlyFormHolds Ostensibly, PL is a solution to maintaining NL where CL failed to maintain it.

I almost always agree with Edward Feser, but here I can't. Simply replacing one ideology (liberalism) with another (post-liberalism) is wrong. Let's return to natural law, virtue & the common good oriented toward divine ends, transcending modern ideological categories entirely.
Edward Feser@FeserEdward
This is a preposterous and defamatory characterization of the actual postliberals I’m familiar with (@PatrickDeneen, @ccpecknold, @Vermeullarmine, @gjpappin, @SohrabAhmari, @yhazony, @philippilk, @johnmilbank3, @AdrianPabst1, D. C. Schindler, et al., not to mention myself). “Postliberal” is now starting to be used the way “neocon” eventually was, as a lazily-flung epithet with little connection to the ideas the label was originally used to denote.

@ohhsotheysay @sleepy_devo But if the bill identifies as being older, then it was actually illegal when you did it.
Reality is the foundation of our rights and our government. You guys already threw that out and wielded it against us. The question is whether we want to hurt you back or not.
English
@NoCaparison @sleepy_devo Yes let's throw out our democratic processes because of the icky trans people. Surely this will never be used against cïs ppl. I am very smart
English
this is absolutely fucking insane, the government has no business doing this.

@ohhsotheysay @sleepy_devo You can't say that men are women to give them access to women's spaces either, and yet here we are.

@NoCaparison @sleepy_devo You can't retroactively make people pay for previously legal behavior

@WillioHydro @michaelcurzi Penguin is always my last choice, but they have the only complete set of Plutarch's Lives that's less than a century old. Oxford World Classics is always better, but they have only a partial set of these.
English
@NoCaparison @michaelcurzi The Penguin translation of Faust is hilarious.
English
I'm listening to Plutarch & he starts the life of Pericles with a basically unrelated ramble about how certain women buy 'puppies and young monkeys' instead of having children. Truly nothing is new under the sun

@StuffForSisters Do I _need_ 10,000 spoons? No.
But do I _want_ 10,000 spoons? I could be convinced.

@mercuryexpitall @sleepy_devo No. Sex offense laws are supposed to reflect sex offense actions.
But honestly, the transes need to be collectively punished for what they collectively did. If gender is a social construct and they can tell us how to socialize, then we can collectively punish them.
English
@mercuryexpitall @sleepy_devo If the government can give them all access, then the government can put them all on a list. We need to know who is getting these disguises to try to sneak in.

The Family of Darius before Alexander - Paolo Veronese, 1565

@GatheringF99 @michaelcurzi I do know Latin. It's written in Greek though. Which I also know a bit.
I'm also the publisher of that Perrin reprint with corrected footnotes.

@NoCaparison @michaelcurzi if you're THAT interested in this text why not just learn Latin

@plzcallmechrist I should try to read novels again. I keep trudging through Jung or some other thing and fall asleep or go take a shit

The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.
English
@Deb67088601 @JoshPhillipsPhD I have this one. The introduction is too Woke to bother reading though. And the footnotes are overly obsessed with pointing out every possible sexual innuendo, even the unlikely ones. Would not recommend.
English
@JoshPhillipsPhD The British Library published the First Folio, all the plays, to mark the 400th anniversary. Any idea of a comparable edition containing sonnets?
English
You can read, watch, and study all of Shakespeare basically for free
Get a physically copy of every play (thrift, library sales), watch plays on YouTube, listen to university lectures online
Knowing Shakespeare will change your life

@RobinOfLoxleyy @LorenzoRic67261 @escapefrommelos Nearly every Italian on Twitter can read and write in English.

@LorenzoRic67261 @escapefrommelos if y’all italians then why the fuck type in english?

meanwhile in reality most broke people in italy have this view every day

Being broke in Italy still beats being rich anywhere else

@IceSigmar @sleepy_devo @whooith Well trans is a god complex so it makes sense you'd want to control my existence too.

English
cool opinion, unfortunately you are incorrect
sex comes down to 4 major categories depending on who you ask (5 if you include social aspects like I do)
Chromosomes
Gonadal
Hormonal
Morphological
Social
changing even one of these is changing your sex, and the first one doesnt even matter after like the first trimester as a fetus
Chrissy@Exodus_243
@whooith That's factually incorrect....sex broadly speaking cannot change...you're changing secondary sexual characteristics which is not strictly speaking the same thing scientifically.

@sleepy_devo @whooith To these guys, "poorly" = "not capitulating"
