Chaos is a faith and it is the only faith consistent with a metaphysics of randomness. This is why I dislike the terminology of "true" and "pseudo" randomnness. Anything that is called "random" is ultimately "pseudo-random", because the only thing that the term can ultimately denote in an ordered and observable universe is various scales of unpredictability. What is here called "pseudo-randomness" is simply the attempt to represent unpredictability in an ordered artifice, and is in reality no different from "true" randomness".
Even better: a volume application that measures system sound and auto-mixes output audio to fall within set tolerances around the average decibel reading of that sound.
Addressing the male population, negotiating conditions with access to fertility consists in the instrumentalizing of one's own body toward some end. When an instrument is used to conform cohorts to your will against theirs, it means that you are conducting warfare. Warfare makes use of more than swords and shields and bombs. It makes use of money and sex and all sorts of inconspicuous things which would make enemies believe they exist in the peace resulting from history's end.
I'm not saying the male population in any country that has been raped by usury and forced industrialization don't do a fair share of evil to their sisters. I'm just saying it's sad that people that get absorbed in these fads think they are really doing what is best for them and for their culture by sex-warring with one another, rather than uniting against the rampant evils of usury and sodomy.
"Choosing" the "life you want" is little more than cute folk psychology, let alone a good basis for a moral philosophy. A large amount of what constitutes "choice" in the world-at-present consists in agreeing to meticulously manufactured inclinations. Enfenced cows can "choose" where they want to stand within the fence and ennoble this "choice" all they want. Heck, the cow can start protesting against the farmer if the farmer doesn't take some of the grain he is feeding his pig and redistribute it to the cow instead. It doesn't change the fact that they are domesticated and both animals are going to be slaughtered.
Sad.
Daughters of Eve everywhere, having lusted after the patronage of a corporate sponsor and eaten up the mythos of the "career", weaponize their fertility against their own brothers.
Obviously the article is pretty sensational, but that it would stir a sea of "yaaaaas kwweeen"s in the Anglosphere is not at all surprising.
Yes, US children are deprived of proper education because 'My Two Dads and Me' was taken out of their school library. That's what it is. It has nothing to do with pedagogical theories churned out of Columbia University or "whole language"-based approaches to teaching reading and writing or co-ed high schools or the prisonesque psychoarchitecture of urban and suburban schools or the omnipresence of chemical and moral environmental toxins.
I agree. I think first year college students building things and releasing them to the public ought to face possible jail time.
Good point, although I think whether or not animal flesh is "spoiled" after spending weeks or months fermenting in a jar might depend on who you ask.
>It's obvious that at least in our very recent evolutionary history we had far higher tolerance to spoilage.
I would agree, both in terms of actual immunity and taste response, although generally-speaking eating rotten meat (especially when well-sourced) is not nearly as risky as common wisdom would make it out to be. Many folks in the deeper circles of online carnivoria dabble in "high meat" (fermented rotten meat, a method of preparing meat learned from Inuit peoples who would feed it to their dogs) and swear by it, even if the taste can be unbearable to the uninitiated.
