What is the deal with this nursing talking point I've seen popping up? It's everywhere among people defending this thing, and it's baffling.

This is the weirdest cybersex interaction transcript I've ever read.

Paul Bloom. He's hitched his career to "empathy is bad."

Just an aside, I saw the dude who theorizes about all that empathy = bad stuff, give a talk last year. It was shockingly terrible: just unprofessionally sloppy with his definitions and theories and evidence.

The most annoying thing about this to me is all the people wringing their hands about, Oh he just cares about diversity! He doesn't believe in stereotypes! He says so right there! Why don't you give him the benefit of the doubt??

Uh exactly what the hell is wrong with Squirrel Nut Zippers, bucko? That album is awesome.

GZA and Masta Killa is a hype combo, which makes sense, because the Genius was Killa's mentor. But watching them appear together in this video, it makes me sad they didn't actually just start releasing album's together.

Personally, I think both IaMmE and Super Crew are better than Kinja, but Quest Crew deserved the win, anyway. What?

You're not even remotely trying.

Yo, this fine grained distinction between MRA and PUA and redpill and whatever the fuck else is not something anyone else cares about. Everyone else is just like "Asshole internet dude? MRA, close enough."

"No, not all facts are interpreted in an emotional context. If he had said that women have no place in the workforce, the fact of his statements would need no emotional interpretation, as it would be a clear violation of HR policy and would most likely get him fired."

You srsly gonna make someone describe the whole is/ought thing to you?

Uh, but criticizing something on the grounds that it's racist or promotes bigotry is a perfectly valid moral point.

Yeah, this guy mostly wanted to provoke everyone into getting mad at him, so he'd have another anecdote about liberal academics being closed-minded and overly emotional and unreasonably angry about conservative viewpoints.

I saw a fairly eminent psychologist (well into his second career as Koch-funded Public Intellectual) give a talk about ideological diversity. He said something about how we should blame black people for themselves being poor, because their cultures are bad and because of personal responsibility.

And fat bisexuals; don't forget he's also scared of those.

Sure, but given how defensive people are about the mere notion that they might be racist, I think it's more common that people exaggerate the accusations rather than exaggerating the behaviors that caused the accusations.

No, sorry, I meant *I* was phrasing it in a deliberately provocative way (but not at all meant in a hostile way).
