@memeticsisyphus Deconstructionists when they are faced with a deconstruction of their own position. They can swing their hammer at will against society, but cannot fathom that their own thinking betrays them. The "male gaze" is nothing but resentment and motivated reasoning.
@memeticsisyphus It has progressive elements but isn't Woke in the sense of the new civil religion. Part of the problem is you never know what definition of conservative these people create. Would Burke have a problem with the duty, virtue, and respect for tradition exemplified by Picard?
@memeticsisyphus In TNG there is a strict hierarchy and chain of command based on competence. Starfleet has a clear deference for it's inherited past, respecting and honoring members of starfleet that came before them. They rigorously debate ethical and moral concerns from first principles...
@onomatopoeiatwt It's a coming-of-age storey that encourages problem solving, positive thinking and overcoming challenges you didn't even know you could face. This is perfectly appropriate and expansive for children in elementary school.
@memeticsisyphus Authenticity vs profalicity. The self as a constructed profile for the general other is made up of pre-constructed identity categories. Everyone claims they want their unique identity acknowledged, when they are building from an available checklist.

@MentisWave She didn't sign the bill into law as governor, that is true. She was the speaker of the house at the time for the party that drafted and pushed the bill, and also voted infavor of it. I'm sure Snopes provided that explanation.
@_nomadic_soul No you're just confused about the difference free time, leisure time, and personal care. Men spent more on leisure time and women on personal care.
@memeticsisyphus They've Invented a new form of dualism. Labor vs cognitive labor. The task and the mental planning and/or load needed to complete the task is just the task.
@memeticsisyphus People fundamentally misunderstand and fail to see the difference between egalitarian universalist cultures and tribal clan based particularist cultures.
@karlmarxisright Dialectical materialism is wish thinking. It is aserted without evidence, and arises from an archaic form of philosophy projecting needs as ontology. It is nothing more than the attempt to project order onto a continuous, unpredictable stream of becoming.
