Depends how many Mormon feminists you think are. She's the first Mormon feminist I've ever heard of (aside from one or two on here) so "noted Mormon feminists" sounds like a pretty elite group.

...How many do you think there are?

I would've thought Americans would be slightly less keen on the idea of princes and princesses what with it being a republic and all. I can't stand all the royalist nonsense and I live in the UK. Although I suppose that could be a reaction to the bizarre fact that we do still have a monarchy.

Only gay guys.

I'll wait until I see the results before I get irritated about this. A blanket ban on geoengineering is foolish and even the small-scale tests that can be done are fighting against a pretty strong tide.

I'd be offended if my dad hadn't actually lied, but if he did... well, I'd just suck it up and go "hey, my dad's been lying non-stop on the campaign trail for like 15 years. President's got a point."

...pored. Not "poured". Sorry, had to point it out. That one's like nails down a chalkboard for me.

...One. He's not FLDS, and the LDS abandoned polygamy in the 19th century.

Clearly he doesn't have an adoring supermodel to take photos of him. I'm sure it's not because he's a titanic douche or anything.

That's a mangled bit of reasoning by Yishan Wong. Is inciting violence against and harassment of random individuals preferable? Isn't the existence of an imageboard dedicated to taking creepshots of women, where other creeps comment and rate the images, kind of encouraging harassment?

Most eugenics movements were active pre-WWII, or just after it. I wouldn't say that it was striking. The prevailing opinion during inter-war Europe and the US was that non-whites were inherently inferior. Most people held that opinion, including people who considered "improving the genetic stock of humanity" to be a…

Well I suppose our random attempts may manage it someday but I can't help but think it would be expedited by an understanding of intelligence. And our attempts so far have fallen so far short that I doubt we'll manage it without one. But we can live in hope, I guess.

I doubt we'll have "strong" AI until we understand what consciousness is. But I do think it's possible even though we don't. I don't see how materialism can be reconciled with the impossibility of strong AI and I see a large/overwhelming body of evidence in favour of materialism.

Eugenics =/= racism. The early eugenicists were often racists but their flaw was that they were racist, not that they were eugenicists.

There was once a radio interview with (I think) one of the models who played Lara Croft and an interviewer asked her about this poster they'd made where they "had" to photoshop out her nipples (which were visible through her vest). The model had found it ridiculous and in the course of the conversation the radio host…

Awesome.

It's named after Croydon because lots of the girls in Croydon do it. It was pretty common among the white working class in the UK. Like a decade ago.

Eh, I know not all Christians/religious people believe in hell but I imagine it's a bar for those that do. And would prevent most people who don't share their religion from trying to find a life partner in a church.

Yeah, the analogy makes sense.

Because I will not have my children raised to in a religious manner. I imagine that would be a sticking point.
