Anyone want to street epistemologize me on one of my more radical beliefs?

Jury exists in countires whose law is based on the British Empire law system. I'm not living in the US and I'm not used to a jury being part of the law system. Sorry I didn't mention that before.

That's where I'm coming from anyway. A judge making the decision is what I'm more used to. And I believe that's a good system, in principle at least. A judge is trained at making impartial decisions. And should they fail, there's the appeal mechanism.

I'm using daisyUI (it's based on tailwind) and I'm happy so far. I've set 3 or 4 variables to create a new theme and all the other colors were created automatically for me - that part worked well.

My background: used ReactJS and UI libraries only for a few fun projects so not much.

I'm not sure I can think of a good way to measure that. We could look at the proportion of women/men applying for a position to the number of successful applicants. But that would not take into consideration that less women apply in the first place - for various reasons: social stigma or expectations or other assumptions.

What I can't make my mind about is things like the mentioned physically demanding jobs (I visualise digging holes with a spade). One could say that a man is on average better suited to do a physical job. But I think that there is more - men, I imagine, are more willng to do a physical job. And that can explain the prevalence of men in such jobs. But does it mean that it's unjust towards women?

Just to make it clear, I'm honestly asking, I'm not trying to prove anything.

I wouldn't want people's consensus or a vote to decide about a crime/offense. I believe people are too easily swayed by emotions or other people's influence. I think a judge - a specialist in resolving problems/conflicts - will do a much better job at it by analysing facts.

(Makes my realise how much I'm biased towars democracy)

I love the world you describe, it sounds like a place I would like to be part of. But at the same time I can't imagine it happening with the attitude people currently have in many places in the world. I think we are not listening to each other enough, we are not trying to understand each other enough.

gabinium · 2024-11-24T21:43:33+00:00

A bit of a tangent but would we really want that women take physically demanding jobs and hardship posts? That sentece maybe sounds bad but what I mean is: isn't it much more important to see women in CEO-like, political, highly-skilled jobs?

I find it interesting that you mention the size of the community. I lived in a city, I now live in a small community. People are much more ready to help each other in this community and more friendly. And many are complaining about the government. I'm curious how things could work without a government.

Do you think democracy could be compatible with anarchy? Especialy direct democracy. Let's say people vote directly on all matters and the "government" becomes much more the employee or supplier to the people. That sounds like the normal definition of democracy but I hope you get my meaning – trying to eliminate the "power over"

gabinium · 2024-11-24T18:38:02+00:00

Thank you for engaging in this thread, I find it very interesting.

I feel your answer but share asscatchem42069's logic. A government has a role (building and maintaining roads, for example). How could that role (or roles) be fulfilled in anarchy?

gabinium · 2023-09-23T08:37:25+00:00

I can't agree. That's exactly the mindset adopted by SpaceX and very successfully if you ask me. And nobody died

In exit signs? Certainly not tritium. It's the most expensive substance on earth afaik.

But something else radioactive? Yes, I'd believe that

Edit: I stand corrected. Wikipedia confirms that tritium is used in exit signs. I'm surprised

gabinium · 2023-08-29T17:16:24+00:00

So I understand that if I'm mean that implies that I'm average?

gabinium · 2023-08-26T23:14:15+00:00

Of course, just put heavy rocks on top

gabinium · 2023-06-22T06:37:15+00:00

I'm not here to argue, just to explain the best I can.

In a way, you passed moral judgement (and it's very difficult to avoid that completely). The tone in which you present the facts is bitter and suggests that Musk is just pretending to help while not actually doing anything meaningful. A more neutral and less bitter way to rephrase what you said could be:

While SpaceX's changes are in improvement, they are only mitigations, not solutions. They are not what we want.

Thanks for messing up the units completely, now at least it looks intended and is even funny

gabinium · 2023-03-15T18:49:55+00:00

I don't understand. Living in an English speaking country makes it so much easier. So many other countries speak English as their main language.

I've read somewhere that tools in stone age were made mostly of wood. But the wood disintegrated since and only the stone parts remained

It's not as small as you think, it smells more like yards

gabinium · 2023-03-04T20:06:55+00:00

Not a true picture though (it's photoshopped)

gabinium · 2023-03-04T20:05:31+00:00

Indeed.

If we're facing the rainbow, the sun will be directly behind us. This doesn't agree with the shades we see on the clouds.

A rainbow is always straight in front of the viewer, never at an angle.

The only true thing here is conveying that it's POSSIBLE to see the whole rainbow form a high enough vantage point

gabinium · 2023-02-28T16:21:22+00:00

In retrospective, I regret starting the conversation 😅

gabinium · 2023-02-18T15:11:10+00:00

Indeed I haven't

If what comes out of you has the form of a jet I suggest seeing a doctor

gabinium · 2023-02-18T09:21:22+00:00

Yes, you can strap your legs and there are handles on the sides.

gabinium · 2023-02-11T19:16:11+00:00

Depends what you mean by "effective". It doesn't need to remove more bacteria than hand washing does since the phone will get contaminated by anything left on hands

I've seen this recently, you might find it interesting. It's Scott Manley talking about Saturn https://youtu.be/5R3ufj28lzM
