And epistemology to help build the firewall’s list?

“It is the mark of an educated mind, to be able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it” --Whoever said that.

Wouldn’t a better thing to teach be innovating upon technology and social structure, such that we no longer even need taxes? Nor any other rents designed to keep us down and impoverished. Imagine where we’d be now if not for the suppression of all the emancipatory technologies. All those patents being sat on, or secreted[1]. All those inventors usurped or disappeared. We have so much more headroom.

If education were not so corrupted and riddled with nonsense and slave conditioning, perhaps there’d be fewer rejecting it; fewer throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We can all be polymaths in the making, not slaves in training.

[1: According to patent office whistle blower Tom Valone, (iirc) there were already over 3000 free energy device patents secreted by the year 2000. Seriously. We have so much headroom without the corruption. Even the rich parasites would be better off, with the release and proliferation of the emancipatory technologies. …Buuuuuut, that’s not in most people’s world view to which they’re attached, and so, they tend to go on attack upon encountering mention of such, as if this new information is a threat to their life.]

Because there’s no valid nor sound singular-pecking-order, and typically those “smart people” respected as “so smart” are “smart” in other aptitudes than the social aptitude and ruthlessness to so social climb and manipulate to be “in charge”.

I very often say: we can all be polymaths in the making, not slaves in training. If/when we do so proceed that way, we’d catch more of these follies, and seek better protections and implementations and systems, than just leaving it to the most ruthless social climber, the most effective liar, getting in charge.

A person is smart. People are dumb.

Well between the anti-vaxxers and any-vaxxers, the any-vaxxers won, by measure of how many took the jabs, believing “follow the science” without detecting an oxymoron.

Beware the power of advertising and ignorance of epistemology.

I ask, because, I’m not sure if the 2nd from bottom level was called “suppression”, nor am I sure (at all) what was the elaboration in the “violence” layer. … But I hope I’ve at least remained faithful to the spirit of it. Eager to hear any corrections. Or even, if anyone finds the original extended version, that would be great to compare to.

Always good to remind Americans the rest of the world exists. ;-)

I enjoyed their pedantry.

True.

Especially when wearing one that’s too big and loose.

Yeah, (as I recall) that bigoted bias in USA gets even more damning when looking at the victim’s demographics instead.

The Karens cry loudest, like they’re the only victims, or like they’re magnanimously mending the situation for everybody, when they’re already the 1%ers of victim pride.

Hush you. Men are supposed to just take it. Women and children first.

No emotional support for men. Keep the demands on them. Keep berating them for striving to meet those demands. Keep taking away their ability to support a family. Keep demanding them to. Keep judging men with the hasty generalisation fallacy, ignoring the statistical outliers. Keep men dying younger. Keep saying “patriarchy” like all men are all advantaged rulers. ;-}

I, for one, for sure, would be grateful for the hard hat in a ROPS event. Even a FOPS event.

My tenuous guess, Scandi/Germanic… But that’s just her in the cab.

I don’t know the machinery well enough to hazard a guess.

But even if still there, then yeah, there’d for sure be safety regs insisting on hard hats all the time on site.

Yup. Beat me to it. In and out, easiest place to keep it, still on your head.

That’s not how maths works.

[Excuse me while I “mansplain”] But if women want to increase their violent crimes to match men’s, they need to increase by an additional 300%. This would result in a total increase of violent crimes of 60% more violent crime.

C’mon girls! Try harder!

Do your part to achieve equality!

Then maybe men can cease being expected to open doors, put toilet seats down, put women and children first, die in wars, buy dinner and flowers, carry all the heavy things, fend off attackers, fix everything, [(quietly)] die younger, thrive without emotional support, be sole provider as a trad-hubby gentleman sigma-male feminist-ally bad-boy softie stoic emoting funny but only in a specific way and tall but not too tall and looking good with a six-pack without spending time working on it and whatever else in the cluster of impossible contradictions, alone.

I use something like 9 gentoos.

Frontier: First Encounters (Elite3), (and Pioneer Space Sim (still playing)). – Found my safe space via such game. I go out into space, for my safe space. Life changing.

Soul Calibur. – I discovered it’s like chess, and there are depths to excellence. And, I don’t know how causal/influenced by it that I ended up basically looking like my fave character from it. LOL. Deep metaphors and synchronicities in it too. Life changing.

Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction. – Ate up a huge chunk of my life. [Eventually] Learned the empty dopamine addiction hole’s to be avoided. Basically the game that stopped me being “a gamer” (as if I ever really were ~ was just a diablo2 addict). Found hanging out in the arcane sanctuary, the atmosphere, helped me sleep. n_n Life changing.

Minetest (now called “Luanti”). – Designed my house in it. LOL. Life changing.

All the best garbage to learn from, to debug, debug, debug, sharpening those skills.

Heh. That’s a fun chart. If that’s programming aptitude, I scored 80 on that part of the broad spectrum aptitude test I got a sneak-peek chance to do several parts of. Well now I know why I’m so easily in agreement with “senior coders”, if it is programming aptitude quotient. If it’s just iq, … pulls hood up to block the glare.

Daunting that there may be a middling bias getting apparent advantages. Evolution may not serve us well like that.

And many between “seniour developers everywhere” and “a layman who never wrote code in his life”.

Like me, I’m saying it too. A big ol “No duh”.

Disbelieve the hype.

Oh that all working class were getting over £150,000 a year plus other benefits and expenses paid, and said to be worth nearly £5million.
