Sydney Sweeney is a beautiful woman who, by broadcasting hotness, makes herself much less so.
Men have two kinds of sexual desire. One kind seeks to team up with a woman, to poses her, to partner and have her full attention and devotion. The other wants to use her—to impregnate her and walk away. By playing to the latter instinct, a young woman can get lots of attention, but of a kind that’s bad for her.
This is not an argument against being sexy. ‘Sexy’ is alluring. It is part of beauty. ‘Hotness’ is desperation, advertising a willingness to engage in sex without commitment. It turns men on short term, no doubt, but it turns them off to love.
Sweeney is making a common error. Woman in their natural state are built to get men to commit to them, and to shut down men who want to parasitize them. Birth control and a broken culture have lured modern women into behaving like men at their worst. It’s not a win.
It’s sad to see a woman with so much going for her, turn herself over to this. As powerful as she is, she’s somehow not her own boss.
Maybe that’s too simple because Sweeney is making money from attention, so there is some small chance she understands the trade. But I doubt it. Ask Miley Cyrus.
Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong.
Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names".
For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy.
In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system".
But they're not. They can't be the justice system.
The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve.
Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you?
No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system.
The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe.
If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse.
In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite.
Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat.
We all understand this.
We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.
Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.
We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.
And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.
The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.
Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute.
It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
@drpezeshkian مردم، خصوصا جوانها هربار از عجز و نداشتن هیچ راه دیگهای به اصلاحطلبها رأی میدن. تمام هنر و توانتون بستن راههای دیگهست وگرنه همه میدونن نه ارادهش و نه توانش رو دارید بهبودی تو اوضاع بدید. متأسفانه شرافت هم ندارید که بکشید کنار.
@allenanalysis Vancouverites die waiting for a doctor appointment, yet bravely protesting another country's foreign border control. Smart priorities!

Americans envy Canada's "free healthcare" but the real jackpot is all that time you get to self-diagnose with LLMs while growing old waiting for the appointment to get cancelled eventually. By the time you see a doctor, AI has already learned to outsmart him/her/they/them. 🇨🇦💉

@BretWeinstein In the next episode please talk about Epidural injections to moms in labour, the Fentanyl in it, and how it crosses to the baby.

There was so much talk about the protests in Iran – but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, it has stood aside.
What will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully – kill enough people, and you stay in power.
@SharifiZarchi درس سیستمعاملش رو بعد دو جلسه حذف کردم انگار که چیزی برای تدریس آماده نکرده بود. نصف طبقهی ۵ دانشکده "آزمایشگاه" این آقا بود. یه مأمور هم سر درش گذاشته بودن که نمیذاشت کسی واردش بشه یا حتی داخلش رو ببینه. آدم امنیتی حکومت بود نه استاد دانشگاه.
چه کسانی جهنم فیلترینگ را در ایران راه انداختند؟
این جهنم حاصل فعالیت صدها فرد و دهها شرکت است. ولی این اسامی، کلیدیترین نقشها را داشتهاند.
۱. «رسول جلیلی» عضو شورای عالی فضای مجازی و پدر فیلترینگ ایران.
۲. «امنافزارگستر شریف» شرکت رسول جلیلی که نخستین سیستمهای فیلترینگ را توسعه داد.
۳. «داده پردازان دوران» از پیمانکاران اصلی فیلترینگ.
۴. «یافتارپژوهان پیشتاز رایانش» از پیمانکاران اصلی فیلترینگ که امنافزارگستر شریف هم سهامدار آن است.
As a university professor from Iran who remained in the country until very recently, I urge world leaders not to remain silent in the face of the Islamic Republic regime’s brutality and crimes against humanity. Unarmed people are being killed with military-grade weapons. Cities are filled with the bodies of protesters. The internet has been shut down for four consecutive days. This must not be tolerated.
