Objective morality by definition needs no god to justify it; in fact, even god could not alter the qualities of an "objective morality" and if he could then it wouldn't be "objective" and would be robbed of all meaning. For example, if a god defined objective morality such that it was moral to burn children alive as a form of penitence, then we're no longer talking about "morality" as it is understood and are instead discussing the semantics regarding the capabilities of god. If god said that burning kids was moral, we'd have to create a new word for describing the quality that appears as inherent disgust at the idea of inflicting torment.

>What would happen if 100 million Bangladeshis moved to the US? Would we continue to have a first world legal system, etc? The answer is no

It's ironic that people in the US who have such great fear of immigrants worry about being overrun by criminals, when the US itself already has by far the highest amount of criminals locked in prison in the world.

>Instead, we would be tearing down the statue of liberty

Quite silly to point to mere symbolism (whether or not a statue exists) while ignoring the physical reality of human suffering behind bars.

Getting kids engaged by showing them how to dig into a website's HTML and JavaScript was fantastic back in the day. But now it's basically asking kids to reverse engineer assembly because of transpilation, minification, etc.

When I do this with my kids it will be with python and some Lego or lego-like robotics components. Basically, extend their Lego experience the way redstone extends a child's Minecraft experience when they're ready for it.
Perhaps this may be realistically solved through increased automation: no dirty jobs for humans. I visited an Industrial Automation exhibition in Shenzhen last week which was held in conjunction with a Machine Vision exhibition. The number of systems and components available was substantial and the field seems prepared for an explosion: prices for precision gear are low and dropping, young people have increased access to legoesque mechatronic toys, and software knowledge is becoming pervasive.

Here's a dumb question: if God does not exist then why have the majority of moral systems happened upon such large areas of overlap regarding right and wrong? Absent a God there still needs to be an answer to this. It would be likely found in game theory, which is math, which may be onjective.

> the right fears that migration will threaten their culture and the left fears that migration will threaten the welfare state

Perhaps the parent is trying to be even-handed, but I don't see the left opposing immigration; they seem to support it. It also matches the philosophy of the center - the Clinton democrats and internationalist business people of the GOP. Here are some surveys I quickly found; both say immigration is supported by the left:

It certainly remains to be seen.

The consequences of electronic media are unknowable. The scope alone is surely incalculable.

Since the mid-20th century, American culture has revealed a notable propensity for sensational hampster-wheel architecture. Possibly not by coincidence, labor has been no match.

Media, electronic or not dictate the extents of social functionality through an unknowably complex process. I think it can loosely be illustrated as a culture of preferred data structures in a software design. Redesigning the softare to adapt to a newly preferred data structure will require a radical refactoring. With software, we aim to understand that refactoring in order to implement it, which we do before it goes to production because we are individually punished if we do it after. But when adapting to a new media form, the punishments are expected to be received by society as a whole, and the individuals wasted by the process. Acknowledging the phenomenon depends on a mass of individual comprehensions working together to illustrate the threat. And that's only to acknowledge the the threat exists...

> A tent, about 50 feet high, its taut grey canvas membrane supported by aluminum columns.

I don't think it was a joke. The tweet was specifically in the context of trying to convince investors that the cost of that tent production wasn't substantial and by "scrap" he meant equipment they had discarded from their main production lines because they are constantly upgrading them. You can't have it both ways. It was either discarded "scrap" machines they had lying around and he was not joking or machines they bought and he was lying (a.k.a "joking") about it. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that they really had all that equipment in a warehouse because its been reported they have re-tooled the line several times.

Not neccesarily. In a small society, a serial rapist would be hunted and killed quickly or forced to run away. In both cases, his children would struggle to survive without the food and protection provided by a father. Many of they would starve and not survive to reach the adulthood.

While I don't doubt that all of the reasons they give are strictly true, I wonder if they dropped CC and other public licenses because to host such an image still costs money but they don't get any revenue for it. So if the percentage of images that are holding non-revenue generating licenses is too high, their fixed costs cut too far into their revenue to sustain operations.

One could argue that the might work on being more efficient about their fixed costs but this seems a simpler fix.

Exactly. I would much rather live in Singapore, something of a dictatorship, than Bangladesh, a democracy. Democratic freedom is often worth very little. Open borders would work well if sovereignty were held in competitive non-democratic institutions like Futarchy or a standardized-testing/sortition based rotating aristocracy, as both would be held in check by the freedom to exit that would exist in a world with true open borders. However, if we just keep our government as it is and allow open borders it will decline in just the manner you mention.
Interesting that there's no discussion on the size/shape of the [Enter/Return] key. My first computer in the 80s came with a larger, L-Shaped [Enter] key[0]. Didn't think much of it at the time until all I saw afterwards was the thinner, bar-shaped style.

I think part of the reason is that I never use the right-hand shiftKey - which has always seemed obnoxiously large (because I never use it). Also not a keyboard junkie, I always type on whatever keyboard the computer/laptop comes with. To this day, I do miss the larger [Enter/Return] key but can't justify carrying an extra keyboard because of a single annoying key.

I can't really understand the downvotes here, these are facts. Here's a brief history of anti-immigrant propaganda in the US through the years to back up OPs claims. The anti-German sentiment in the late 1700s is new to me, to be honest.

Didn’t the EU have strict capital requirements for countries joining it? I am from Ireland originally and I seem to recall this being a topic of discussion when I was younger.

I would imagine that countries within the EU don’t have the same Standards of living/earnings gap between them as say a developing country & a western one. Hence, their is not the same incentive to mass migrate.

A lot of people did move though. In the last 15 years, the population of Belgium increased by 10% due to migration. Those are incredible numbers.
Yeah, this "taking the average" of relatively small areas seems to me a poor measure of "flatness". I mean, Colorado comes right in the middle at #25. Yes, the eastern portion of CO is very flat, but there are other objective potential measures that could potentially put CO much higher on the "hilly" scale.
Or just the fact that we're all humans and humans tend to have a lot of similarities in their psychological makeup. Any purely logical framework (such as game theory), that doesn't take into account the non-rational aspects of human psychology is going to be ultimately limited in its explanatory power. The reality of human psychology is just as real and objective as human physiology, and the associated variability due to both nature and nurture.

> I see no evidence that could lead you to assert that a Trump voter picked at random would know that Trump was lying about climate change being a hoax.

Trump supporters know perfectly well that he's lying. There is clear evidence of this [1] if you're willing to look. If you want to see an even more banal example of this dynamic (though there are many) take a look at Hungary today where the most absurd pronouncements are made concerning "Soros" (read: the Jews) and then "clarified" sometimes just a few hours later.

> And the problem is that millions of people really do believe something that isn't supported by the broad, overwhelming scientific evidence.

The problem is impossible to address if you're willing to understand it. It is not the case that these people have been fooled by nefarious industrialists and politicians. The issue here is never about one or two erroneous beliefs that might be corrected with a bit more education. The problem is a culture that deliberately embraces fantasy and self-deception. All the evidence in the world will be dismissed and denied. If it becomes truly impossible to deny it they will turn and instantly settle on some new deception. The result of this process isn't confusion about a single issue but rather a whole imaginary world that is knowingly embraced. It's for this reason that one fantasy about the climate is always accompanied by a whole host of fantasies about everything from immigration to fluoride.

> For example: was Jill Stein acting as a fascist when she quite shamelessly hedged on vaccination in order to pander to her anti-vaxxer base?

As Nietzsche understood it individuals don't "act fascist" rather it's a sickness that attacks culture. A culture where politicians have to bend the knee to such nonsense is not healthy. I would hope this is obvious.

The irony of this comment is that part of his point is that you are at risk for missing his point in the absence of liberal arts education :)

His point is that the liberal arts method of teaching critical thinking is designed to force the student to comprehend and empathically understand the lived experience of other individuals and their concomitant perspective in a given situation. If one is incapable of abstracting their perception from the context, they are forever doomed to only understand the world around them as-is.

The unenlightened fish sees only the world as he or she experiences it, but those equipped with the right cognitive skills are able to recognize the milieu or ether that constitutes the social world. The ability to recognize the "water" empowers the observer to be aware of the current and the current's effect on other fish.

This is his point about controlling one's internal voice in the grocery store line. The unenlightened fish will simply rage against the water, angry that it is muddied by those ahead swimming incorrectly. The enlightened fish understands that each fish is engaged in its own struggle against the current. That struggle is muddying the waters, and recognizing that fact allows the enlightened fish to understand why those ahead are stirring up the sediment. They are simply trying, as the enlightened fish is, to fight the current. Understanding this allows the enlightened fish to hold them blameless. Holding them blameless (or at least understanding them as fish) grants the power to control how one feels about the muddied waters and the responsible fish.

Hope that helps!

The GDP Per Capita of Poland is $12K USD, and Germany is $42K.

Somehow rote economic prosperity is not sufficient to make everyone up and move or there wouldn't be an American Samoa.

When you artificially limit the amount of housing via the government (zoning, height maximums, lot size requirements, etc.) you make housing worth more than it would in a free market. This is not surprising and is exactly the outcome desired by home owners in elite cities.
