@ThatsItForAcher Some mix of a need to have opinions, the political/cultural bend to ordaining women. Sometimes envy of [those whom they see as] the religious.

That is the only thing that motivates our public servants to action now: Making sure that they retain exclusive dominion over the turf that they are otherwise content to stand by and watch burn.

@aleigefen If you don't need to open a copy, lots of libraries seem to have it (looking at worldcat) and electronic versions are available from my univ library

@HeliasHebreus 100% of the tenets that you know about, plus the belief that you know its tenets

[Yank'l Gadia @Bn_hamt]

@joshuac220 @jeremytibbetts1 @HeliasHebreus My first thought, too. Non-orthodox may even have a thorough anthropology, but little practice, and even less resistance from others to his practice. Hard to understand yourself and your position in the world w/o others' responses.

@HeliasHebreus It's pretty cool. Blocks wind in the winter and gives some shade in the long summer.

@hatstand_pincer @wesyang Why are these exclusive?

Even if a diagnosis is a good description (they're often just useful categories for similar diseases; e.g. glaucoma, schizophr., URI), those descriptors come with prescriptions (treatment and behaviors). Those are based on priorities: values, morals, &c

[Yank'l Gadia @Bn_hamt]

@hatstand_pincer @wesyang Is that wrong?

Being diagnosed inevitably affects patients: how doctors relate to them, placebo/nocebo effects, etc. This isn't malicious: docs need to form an opinion to treat patients.

But notably, diagnoses aren't uncontroversal. See the DSM-V or chronc fatigue syndrome.

@aesthetikeit One of my favorite expressions

@ThatsItForAcher @DolphinVengence If they adopt our style and food and expresssions, what will be left of the Jews? What if our only source of uniqueness was our relationship with G-d?

Terrifying.

@abou_rijal Have I met such an enemy? What's left without masters?

[Yank'l Gadia @Bn_hamt]

@eigenrobot It's not too bad yet. A Guyanese Indian guy I worked with was called an Arab and nearly run over. When I speak Russian, Americans ask, "Oh, are you from Ukraine? I'm so sorry"

Politely staying away from geopolitics

[Yank'l Gadia @Bn_hamt]

@owenbroadcast Very ying and yang, too. The hedonic gathering was people focused on themselves and the big science fair had a great deal of national pride

one of the biggest lifehacks is to find beauty anywhere you look. a weird cloud? frost on a blade of grass? a spidery crack in the sidewalk? rainbow oily puddle? texture on a rock? birdsong? we’re immersed in beauty constantly if only we took a moment to notice it
