Slate Star Codex

Welcome to Slate Star Codex, a blog about science, medicine, philosophy, politics, and futurism. 9. The Categories Were Made For Man, Not Man For The Categories Scott also writes Unsong , a serial novel about alternate history American kabbalists. And it looks like this site doesn’t detect when I’m logged into my BoingBoing account, which is supposedly a WordPress account, though comments there are powered by Disqus. In today’s fast-paced world, stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue have become common. While conventional medicine treats physical symptoms, many people are turning to holistic approaches like Reiki healing to address their overall well-being. Rooted in ancient Japanese traditions, Reiki is a gentle yet powerful technique that promotes deep relaxation, energy alignment, and inner peace. Hmm. It looks like there’s no kind of password protection with these commenting identities. All it would take to hijack someone’s name would be the knowledge of the e-mail address they’re using for commenting. I remember you years ago saying that a great Facebook app idea would be for people to anonymously “rate” how much they are romantically interested in their friends. If it was mutual, then the app would alert them to the good news. The basic idea behind rbutr is to connect critical responses to the webpages they are responding to so that people can easily move from claim to response to counter-response in a natural way (something the internet doesn’t yet easily enable). In this way, we can transform the internet from its current ‘information delivery’ setup, in to a more proactive tool which teaches people to critically reflect on the subject matter that the internet is delivering to them. You can install our plugin in Firefox or Chrome, and submit any claim-rebuttal connections you find/write. “Hello there.

Think you could come on sometime? :)” Hi there friends, its wonderful piece of writing regarding teachingand fully explained, keep it up all the time. This paragraph will assist the internet visitors for setting up new website or even a weblog from start to end. Thank you for offering. I don’t accept donations, but if you want you can donate to a charity like the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative in my name. Scott– I think you may find this piece interesting. It discusses the tactical, but also substantive value with engaging with one’s ideological opponents, including and indeed particularly one’s most extreme ones. “I think the CDC and other official and mainstream sources of Ebola information are far wiser to give extremists access to the social media they control (like the CDC’s Facebook page) than to deny them access. To explain why, let me start by subdividing the people whose comments you call “aggressive, uninformed, rumor-mongering, paranoid, etc.” into two rough categories: those who have something to say that’s worth listening to, and those who don’t. I’m going to argue later that the first category tends to be bigger than we imagine. I think the mainstream has important things to learn from people on the fringes, both generically and with specific reference to Ebola. But let’s put that aside for now and assume that we’re talking about people whose comments are, as the Supreme Court used to say about pornography, of “no redeeming soci
