For most people, even with shitty parents, your still parents sacrificed for you and raised you. A loyal human would not abandon them without great reason. Cutting contact should be a last resort, even if that means slightly worse mental health for yourself. Yes, you do owe them some minimum of respect and kindness if they showed you the same in raising you. That leads to better outcomes for society.
I think the main issue is that most mental illnesses are vaguely defined clusters of problems - if you represented a diagnosis as a vector where each index corresponded to severity of a particular symptom, the diagnosis space would not properly aligned with the actual disease basis. This introduces ambiguity - a single disease tends to fall into multiple clusters when your representational domain is misaligned with the actual data axes.
The solution is ML. Neural networks with appropriate architectures effectively perform a change of basis, mapping the data basis to an output coordinate system. When properly trained they can automagically orient their internal representation with the true data bases.
I don't doubt that Google pre IPO probably believed in their motto. It's the investor influence that has gradually steered Google into lucrative but ethically questionable domains.
Except people are by default being told their opinions are incorrect because they disagree with the so called experts.
Experts in a soft, non experimental, survey based scientific discipline. Soft sciences are institutional dogma because by and large there is no way to experimentally verify anything. This is a particular debate in which the establishment is clearly in the wrong to anyone who isn't determined to believe in a nonexistent equality.
This appeal to authority is enormously frustrating when the authorities are also blindly political.
Think for yourself. The physical differences between men and women are patently obvious, and how they translate to different performance in sports is clear. We understand why men and women are different physically - because specialization had strong selective pressure.
Now why on earth would this specialization only apply to physical differences?
And if you're still not convinced, and if the consistent studies showing differences in verbal/spatial IQ and the like aren't enough, how can we use brainscans to differentiate between cis and trans people?
This is literally only political because, for this issue, one side in western politics is determined to deny reality in order to shape the world into what they think it should be. That's childish idealism - you cannot solve a "problem" without addressing it's actual causes.
>but once you’re in my ear with some misinformed ideas
How the hell do you expect to get anything done in a society if you presume that any hurtful idea is misinformed?
How can you seriously pretend that gendered differences in humans magically stop above the shoulders? You're denying realty. It's black and white.
You can bend over backwards and sweep rational arguments like Damore's under the rug, or you can accept that consistent inequality of outcome across the time and culture is very obviously indicative of at least some degree of intrinsic cognitive differences.
What's naive is bending over backwards to pretend that men and women are identical, after millions of years of sexually dimorphic evolution.
It's absurd that this is even a debate in our society. Scientific? Everything we know about genetics, hormones, and psychology clearly points to gendered differences and if you objectively look at the data, at the very least you must concede that you cannot conflate inequality of outcomes with inequality of outcome opportunity without gratuitous handwaving.
Progressivism in the US takes as a given that men in the past were backwards and ignorant - but there are literally tens of thousands of years of social wisdom in history that are being thrown away because people can't handle the fact that in this world there are no guarantees of equal ability across groups. Anyone who is offended by such a notion is hopelessly naive - but I suppose you can hardly blame someone after spending a lifetime indoctrinated to pretend that gendered differences magically disappear above the shoulders.
Multiple times per year in a country with 300MM people and what, tens to hundreds of thousands, if not millions of police interactions yearly?
Obviously in the ideal case it would be 0 but that's not realistic and, again, the current rate is far lower than the original poster implied. That's my entire argument. A couple times a year in the news does not justify worrying about being killed during a traffic stop or some other typical, mundane interaction.
>You claim that police abuse of power is exceedingly rare
I made no such claim. I said that being hurt or killed by an officer is an unlikely occurance for a typical person. That's all I'm arguing and there shouldn't be anything controversial about it.
Well then you are no doubt aware that these statistics skew overwhelmingly toward those who are noncompliant, combative, and/or felons, correct? Such that the actual rate for "average" people (including minorities, although their rate may be higher) is probably miniscule.
The implication of OPs post was that this was a frequent enough occurrence to legitimately fear interactions with police.
My point is that this is excessive, and partly a result of the eagerness that the media to latch onto and sensationalize stories of blacks being killed by police.
It is relevant to the discussion.
Edit: all of this particularly when negative interactions are going to very heavily skew towards people who are combative and/or noncompliant. This is total paranoia.
1/6 is literally 2 orders of magnitude smaller than 1/291. Nonsensical comparison.
More importantly, how many of those hospitalizations/deaths are justified? You realize that police are typically responding to crimes and dealing with criminals who tend to be a little more violent than the average person, right?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bootlicker by any means, and I acknowledge there are serious policing problems in the US. But seriously questioning whether you're going to survive a traffic stop if you act reasonably is irrational paranoia.
>they universally believe that immunity is real and at least moderately long-lasting
I haven't seen a single publication to this effect and there's no way to no for sure until enough time has elapsed to verify. Viral immunity varies widely and though it is in the coronavirus family it is still a novel pathogen.
Also herd immunity is neither guaranteed nor is it necessarily preferable to lockdown. We don't know how long immunity lasts on average post infection.
Call me old school but after watching numerous people try and fail to learn online with courses and especially YouTube videos, I'm pretty convinced that to learn ideally people need to read textbooks.
This isn't a question of learning styles - and I do believe that online courses and videos are valuable supplementary materials. But none of them compare in richness and direction to a well written and organized book.
