Study Finds People Are Morally Outraged by Those Who Decide Not to Have Kids.
Her inne vil nok de fleste være enige med deg. Men det er en del nettsteder der du for en slik kommentar ville blitt kjølhalt for din "rasisme", og hang til "innbildt vestlig overlegenhet"!Alle kulturer er likeverdige, not.

Tror nok det skal mer til enn en oppbremsing eller to i måneden, men som artikkelen sier, det er store individuelle forskjeller - og nok data til at det er statistisk signifikans. Årsak - virkning er selvsagt interessant, kjøpes (for eksempel) Audi av bilister som kjører aggressivt, eller kjører Audisjåfører aggressivt fordi de har en Audi (og kan kjøre mer aktivt). Who knows. Artikkelen er verdt å lese for de som har abonnement. Politiet sier bla at det ikke finnes ulykkesstatistikker som skiller på bilmerker, en slik hadde nok vært mer interessant og relevant opp mot for eksempel kjørelengde.Disse boksene varsler vel om høy aksellerasjon og kraftige nedbremsinger (G-krefter)? Så de som kjører langsomt og ikke aksellererer i aksellerasjonsfelt inn på hurtiggående veier (og dermed skaper farlige situasjoner) og de som tar harde oppbremsinger med jevne mellomrom for å sørge for at bremseskivene ikke ruster blir dermed agressive sjåfører?
All praksis er ikke likeverdig, nei.Alle kulturer er likeverdige, not.

Du glemte USA., og også noe helt annet enn den er i religiøst forkvaklede patriarkier i Afrika, Asia eller Midt-Østen.
Artig sak:

Man kan altså skifte kjønn juridisk, uten å gjøre noe mer og dusje i damegarderoben.

Noen gullkorn fra denne saken:
I møtet med daglig leder på treningssenteret ble hun kalt biologisk mann av A
B opplevde det som svært krenkende at A insinuerte at hun ikke var kvinne, og ikke like mye verdt som
andre kvinner.
Uten å gå helt deridask så er dette selvsagt helt rett. Å forstå og sette ting i historisk perspektiv er ikke det samme som å unnskylde eller bortforklare.Vi bør (må) huske at mange av dem vi syns er faste i eldgamle patriarkalske skikker ofte er analfabeter, underlagt rigide stammeregler for adferd, innenfor strenge kastesystem. Brudd med reglene fører til utstøting fra "fellesskapet" og generasjonslange skamstempel på slekten.
Iram Haq behandler forøvrig dette at det er kvinnen som har all skyld når man utsettes for overgrep i Pakistan i sin seneste film.
I møte med vårt syn på denslags blir det selvsagt store skiller. Løsningen er ikke å forvente at disse samfunnene skal ta spranget til vårt samfunnssyn over natten. Jeg liker å minne om at vi har hatt ganske spesielle skikker for skamstempling her hjemme, som når kirkeforsamlingen etter gudstjenesten tok seg tid til å spytte på dem som var satt i gapestokk på kirkebakken, for eksempel. (Heldigvis 175 år siden siste person stod i gapestokk her hjemme).
Enkelte jobbet godt og lenge under gudstjenesten med tobakklysen som skulle brukes for å vise at man var en god samfunnsborger.
Noe verre vås har jeg ikke lest på lenge.Inn i selverkjennelsen…?

‘We were almost technocrats – this was our mistake’
Ikke for ingenting at AP blir omtalt som administrasjonspartiet her til lands. Og fru Clinton er overrasket over at det ikke er rasjonalitet men følelser som gjør utslag; bare en teknokrat kan blir forundret over slikt. Og de burde kanskje tenke igjennom hvilke ideologiske interesser de administrerte.
Men snakket om rasjonalitet og følelser er misforstått; det som forener de er at en har en historie å fortelle. Administratorer har ikke historier - et narrativ, som det heter i de eleverte sirkler - der er for det meste bare kalkyler i vid forstand.
https://www.chronicle.com/article/The-Academy-Is-Largely/245080?cid=wcontentgrid_hp_2Q. For democracy to work, of course, the people must be well informed. Yet we live in an age of epistemological mayhem. How did the relationship between truth and fact come unwound?
A. I spend a lot of time in the book getting it wound, to be fair. There’s an incredibly rich scholarship on the history of evidence, which traces its rise in the Middle Ages in the world of law, its migration into historical writing, and then finally into the realm that we’re most familiar with, journalism. That’s a centuries-long migration of an idea that begins in a very particular time and place, basically the rise of trial by jury starting in 1215. We have a much better vantage on the tenuousness of our own grasp of facts when we understand where facts come from.
The larger epistemological shift is how the elemental unit of knowledge has changed. Facts have been devalued for a long time. The rise of the fact was centuries ago. Facts were replaced by numbers in the 18th and 19th centuries as the higher-status unit of knowledge. That’s the moment at which the United States is founded as a demographic democracy. Now what’s considered to be most prestigious is data. The bigger the data, the better.
That transformation, from facts to numbers to data, traces something else: the shifting prestige placed on different ways of knowing. Facts come from the realm of the humanities, numbers represent the social sciences, and data the natural sciences. When people talk about the decline of the humanities, they are actually talking about the rise and fall of the fact, as well as other factors. When people try to re-establish the prestige of the humanities with the digital humanities and large data sets, that is no longer the humanities. What humanists do comes from a different epistemological scale of a unit of knowledge.

Comedians asked to sign 'behavioural agreement' for Soas gig
https://www.theguardian.com/culture...ed-to-sign-behavioural-agreement-for-soas-gig
https://michael-hudson.com/2018/12/guns-butter-the-vocabulary-of-economic-deception/The aim of classical economics was to tax unearned income, not wages and profits. The tax burden was to fall on the landlord class first and foremost, then on monopolists and bankers. The result was to be a circular flow in which taxes would be paid mainly out of rent and other unearned income. The government would spend this revenue on infrastructure, schools and other productive investment to help make the economy more competitive. Socialism was seen as a program to create a more efficient capitalist economy along these lines.
I’m Bonnie Faulkner. Today on Guns and Butter, Dr. Michael Hudson. Today’s show: The Vocabulary of Economic Deception. Dr. Hudson is a financial economist and historian. He is President of the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends, a Wall Street financial analyst and distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. His 1972 book Super-Imperialism: The Economic Strategy of American Empire is a critique of how the United States exploited foreign economies through the IMF and World Bank. His latest books are, Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Destroy the Global Economy and J Is for Junk Economics – A Guide to Reality in an Age of Deception.
Today we discuss J is for Junk Economics, an A to Z guide that describes how the world economy really works, and who the winners and losers really are.
We cover contemporary terms that are misleading or poorly understood, as well as many important concepts that have been abandoned - many on purpose – from the long history of political economy.
I saw the vocabulary problem and also how to solve it: If people have a clear set of economic concepts, basically those of classical economics – value, price and rent – the words almost automatically organize themselves into a worldview. A realistic vocabulary and understanding of what words mean will enable its users to put them together to form an inter-connected system.
I wanted to show how junk economics uses euphemisms and what Orwell called Doublethink to confuse people about how the economy works. I also wanted to show that whats called think tanks are really lobbying institutions to do the same thing that advertisers for toothpaste companies and consumer product companies do: They try to portray their product – in this case, neoliberal economics, dismantling protection of the environment, dismantling consumer protection and stopping of prosecution of financial fraud – as ‘wealth creation’ instead of impoverishment and austerity for the economy at large. So basically, my book reviews the economic vocabulary and language people use to perceive reality.
