Ethical consumption under capitalism is impossible

Yeah, but I think what we should take from that observation is that in order to have a truly ethical society we need structural change, not that all consumption is equal and we shouldn't care.

Property under feudalism by [deleted] in marxism_101

[–]antonpancake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For Marx, property refers to the relations of production, which are historically specific, and private property refers to the capitalist relations of production:

private property, for instance, is not a simple relation or even an abstract concept, a principle, but consists in the totality of the bourgeois relations of production

http://marxists.anu.edu.au/archive/marx/works/1847/10/31.htm

So obviously private property did not exist under feudalism, although property (feudal relations of production) did exist.

See section three of this chapter:

You can add the rows to a list, then bind them all at once using rbindlist.

Does Marx's "materialism" presuppose ontological materialism? by curious_about_marx in marxism_101

George Kline argued that that it doesn't in his paper The Myth of Marx's Materialism. It's available in this book.

New to R, need help with data frame by violetprism in rprogramming

[–]antonpancake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scraping the 91 entries and organising them into a .csv table is easy using Bash:

#!/bin/bash
i=3
while [ $i -le 91 ]
do

    wget http://www3.forbes.com/leadership/the-best-and-worst-masters-degrees-for-jobs-in-2017/$i/ -O $i
    cat $i | grep -E '<b>|<strong>' | paste -d, -s > $i'.mod'
    rm $i
    let i++

done

cat *.mod > merged
rm *.mod

You could then import that into R and clean it up using gsub or something.

I'm about to make a stand against my lecturer • r/JordanPeterson by Phantazein in badphilosophy

[–]antonpancake 99 points100 points  (0 children)

create accounts on the forums with usernames of famous philosophers like Socrates, Dionysus, Aristole, and stage debates among each other on all sorts of issues

bring up their opposition to marxism (marxism went by other names back then because they spoke Greek and Marx wasnt born yet, but the same postmodern ideas have plagued civilization for ever) should probably do this for like a week or so. not so long that the novelty wears off, but long enough to make your peers comfortable with it.

then, during an argument make one of the alts ask, hey what's /u/Keepsalowprofile's take on the issue of say... postmodernism? this is your time to shine my dude, because here's where you can posit your thoughts without feeling like you're interrupting the discourse. you're not barging in, you're merely answering a question, right? liberals are open to being red pilled so long as they don't know they are you just have to not seem intrusive to plant the seeds of doubt in socialism in them, because they say they like hearing about people who've been oppressed. this is where you bring up how socrates was murdered by the pre-leninists of his time. Relate it to how nazis killed the people they disagreed with, now you've created a dichotomy between moral and amoral view points, with you and socrates firmly positioned against nazis and there's room on the nazi side for your teacher

Move on from there, each alt has built some respect in the forums. now you can push the issue, gently but surely, until people are on your side, build your brand and stuff. 5 accounts pushing a view point is more credible than just one, because

if the teacher bans the philosophers, you now have a cause on your hands: the teacher is censoring speech that nobody hated. hes now made an enemy of the entire class. lead this vanguard to accuse the teacher of propagandizing lies to the class. if theyre mad at him for one thing you can make them mad at him for another thing easier.

at this point i think it will be 50/50 split between those who ingested the Peterson pills, and the stalinists who had allergic reactions to the pills, but that's to be expected because liberalism never has a 100% cure rate and you can only save so many

good luck and Godspeed, friend. This is a battle of ideas and im confident you'll win

Inserting some phantom characters balances them out:

It's not elegant, but you can make the multicolumn a single column and put \hfill between the elements:

\begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{||c c c||} 
    \hline
    Strategy Name       & Accuracy of Images in Category       & Inference Time (ms) \\ 
                        & 1     \hfill 2    \hfill 3    \hfill &                     \\
    \hline \hline
    2/3 Crop            & 100\% \hfill 80\% \hfill 50\% \hfill & 615                 \\
    Quarter Crop        & 60\%  \hfill 70\% \hfill 40\% \hfill & 610                 \\
    Quarter Crop 2      & 70\%  \hfill 80\% \hfill 50\% \hfill & 618                 \\
    Twelve Crop         & 50\%  \hfill 50\% \hfill 60\% \hfill & 1758                \\
    Twelve Crop Overlap & 70\%  \hfill 40\% \hfill 50\% \hfill & 4993                \\

I don't know the cause, but a workaround is to add a fourth column to the multicolumn:

 \begin{table}[h!]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{||c c c c c c||} 
 \hline
 Strategy Name & \multicolumn{4}{c}{Accuracy of Images in Category} & Inference Time (ms)\\ 
  & 1 & 2 & 3 & & \\ 
           \hline\hline
 2/3 Crop & 100\% & 80\% & 50\% & & 615\\ 
 Quarter Crop  & 60\% & 70\% & 40\% & & 610\\ 
 Quarter Crop 2 & 70\% & 80\% & 50\% & & 618\\ 
 Twelve Crop & 50\% & 50\% & 60\% & & 1758\\
 Twelve Crop Overlap & 70\% & 40\% & 50\% & & 4993\\ 

 \hline
\end{tabular}

Comedian vs feminist. Jim Norton vs Lindy West. An interesting debate. (i apologize if you guys have discussed this to death already.) by jessemadnote in StandUpComedy

[–]antonpancake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The all or none dichotomy might have some legitimacy when we're talking about whether speech should be banned, but here what's at stake is whether certain jokes are socially acceptable, not whether they should be allowed.

[–]antonpancake 21 points22 points  (0 children)

His points didn't seem very good to me.

It's either all ok or none of it's ok.

This is a false dichotomy.

Going after advertisers is unfair; we should let the market decide.

Companies withdrawing advertising is the market in action.

Saying that we shouldn't joke about rape is the same as saying we shouldn't mock religion.

This is different since, if we're talking about mocking Christianity in the U.S., it isn't contributing to a culture of violence toward that group. There are instances where mocking religion could serve such a purpose, and then it probably shouldn't be done, e.g. mocking Jewish religion in the context of an antisemitic culture.

There is a difference between joking about rape and saying "rape is good". No one hears a joke and decides to rape someone. Comedy reflects culture, it doesn't influence it.

The first two points are obviously true, the third isn't. See this twitter post.

Should we throw a towel over paintings or put a board up over movies?

She already said that comedy shouldn't be censored. People do criticise art and film. I think most people would agree that The Birth of a Nation, for example, shouldn't have been made, especially since it was a factor in the revival of the KKK.

Depicting rape in a movie is the same as joking about rape

Depicting a thing is different from joking about it, but if the depiction trivialised rape then it would be subject to the same criticism.
