I definitely didnt read the guidelines. thanks for sharing them and letting me know.

And it needs to be brought up frequently because marxist DEI policy trying to force an outcome is all the rage in tech these days.

Wow, it turns out that much to the protestations of the left, women are in fact not men, and given more equality of opportunity and freedom to choose will gravitate more towards fields suited to their natures, on average. This was common sense a generation or two ago, but now feels like heresy to speak out loud. Certainly a fireable offense (just ask James Damore!)

No, it is meaningful. It shows that the signatories are virtue signaling based on political animus, and dont care one bit for any supposed victims, severely hurting their credibility.

Letter forgot to mention all the killers and rapists ICE removes form USA and keeping America SAFE #498 https://github.com/drop-ice/dear-github-2.0/issues/498

This issue makes a very good point!

Wonder if these social justice keyboard warriors know that most of the stuff at ICE that they are upset about happened under Obama. Where was the outrage then?

Amen. The decoupling of the sexual act from the procreative act was transformative to society and I think we're just becoming aware of the consequences. Every developed nation has to import mass quantities of immigrants just to mask the problem, causing social unrest in their traditional populations. Then the newly arrived immigrant communities remain fertile for a generation, but quickly take on the mores of the surrounding nation and birth rates plummet.

Sprinkle on top a nascent anti-natalism coming from the environmentalist left and you have a recipe for a societal disaster.

From my perspective, Brave New World was a cautionary tale of transhumanism, technocracy, secularism, and hedonism. The climax of the novel delves into theology and the condition of man, with the protagonist lamenting the disappearance from society of God or any higher allegiance than to the self or state.

Whenever I hear John Lennon's Imagine, I always imagine the world portrayed in this story.

The problem is the false religion of climate worship. Even prominent democrats are letting the cat out of the bag and admitting it. Climate for these folks is the vehicle that will let them bring their greater vision of socialist change to America. Take a look at the green new deal - much of its focus was on reshaping the economy in a socialist direction.

Trigger warnings are harmful for society as well. Grown adults at university get coddled with the stuff, then released out into the cold, cruel, uncaring world. Not a good turn for society.

Are you virtue signaling?

Oh come on, we all know it's not because of the dogs. San francisco is in the midst of a homelessness crisis, and all that comes with that.

"I Thou" Reminds me also of Roger Scruton's writing on the subject.

Here Scruton backs up Buber's description the "I Thou" relationship as precisely the thing that separates us from the natural order. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/opinion/if-we-are-not-jus...

As far as plants, I think its a mistake to anthropomorphize them like this. They have no ability to enter into an "I Thou" relationship because they have no concept of "I". Modern philosophies that disregard the special place in nature of Man, and deny Man's nature, are a mess and lead to some pretty horrible outcomes, such as the dehumanization of undesirable groups.
