Usually when this comes up it’s rooted in the fear that if certain information comes to light it will be used to legitimize the oppression of others, that the descriptive will become proscriptive.

Like any heuristic it trades accuracy for cognitive efficiency. I think the practice is especially widespread these days due to the rise of identity politics, and thus the tendency to view things as primarily representative of ascribed group values. And because ideology has increasingly supplanted epistemological soundness in education, people aren't as quick to recognize the guilt by association fallacy.

Maybe, but I was also trying to address the finding that I quoted in my response, that individual sport athletes fare worse in mental health than students who don't do any sports at all. There must be a reason that individual exercise supports mental health but individual sports evidently do not, which is why I think competition/pressure must be a factor. And again, in American schools individual sports are done with teams. I agree that they're less mutually dependent than team sports, but they still foster team bonding, mutual accountability and working towards shared goals. But yeah I'm not especially surprised that team > individual, more that no sports > individual.

However, to our surprise, youth who participated in only individual sports, such as gymnastics or tennis, had more mental health difficulties compared to those who did not participate in organized sports," the study said.

I wonder why that is, especially since, at the school level anyway, individual sports are organized within a team framework. My guess is that it’s because individual performances are much more high-pressure and anxiety producing. Take away the competitive element from individual sports and you basically just have exercise, which ofc benefits mental health. There might also be an insane parent factor at play; sports like gymnastics and figure skating get a lot of those.

I agree strongly with all of this. And I like that he specified mutual admiration rather than mutual respect. While respect is vital to a good relationship and probably sufficient for a good marriage, I think you need mutual admiration for true romantic love. You need to idealize each other a little bit.

The only thing I'd add to this is passion. Lust doesn't actually really fade in my experience. Maybe you don't fuck every day like you did in the beginning, but desire is pretty consistently present if the relationship is good. And yes, people age, but attraction dynamically adapts as you get older. I wasn't attracted to 40 year olds when I was 18 but I am now. And I'm not attracted to people in their 60s now but I'm sure I will be when I'm around that age.

Anyway that's my tangent. Great list.

By training teachers to remove the non-academic factors from their grading practices

I can see the argument for exempting behavioral issues from grading criteria. I'm not sure I agree with it, but I can see it. And as for demographic impact that would actually help boys more than anyone else. But how is homework a "non-academic factor"?

38 percent of OPRF sophomore students taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) failed.

I didn't actually know you could fail the SAT. Is that a new thing? More to the point, though, how are any of these new policies going to raise SAT scores?

Thanks for the well thought out reply. I think everything you've laid out here makes sense, although despite knowing how curated some sites are I was not aware of how widespread the practice of erasing all discussion of infiltration is. I think that is probably the biggest contributor to the general lack of awareness.

Also admins don't want to show any public weakness to attackers, or else attackers might get ideas and new motivations.

I could be wrong, but I think the list of motivations is quite small and that once you're aware of it you can usually see through the superficially different manifestations.

soundsituation · 2022-05-15T20:57:51+00:00

What I find almost as disturbing as the presence of bots and shills is that most people aren't even aware of them. This is the only forum I visit where it seems like a majority of users understand that social media/news infiltration exists (communities.win might be wise to it too but I'm not there enough to know).

I'm curious as to whether this has also been your experience, and if so, why you think that is.

It has meaning, but the message is the opposite of what you might expect. All that stuff signals to me that a woman isn't attracted to me. Sexual attraction creates tension and anxiety (just normal situational anxiety, not the pathological kind), even in confident women. If there's easy breeze friendliness I know it's most likely platonic. If I feel tension on the other hand I know we're doing the dance.

He criticizes Trump for being a populist who didn't follow through on any of the promises that got him elected, and he criticizes the establishment in general for being a one-party oligarchy. I don't think he's shilling for the right at all. In fact, except for free speech and vaccine/mask mandates, I don't know of a single issue on which he agrees with Republicans. But it's true that the vast majority of his criticism targets the American left. I actually just listened to an interview he did with Triggernometry where he explains why; he quotes someone (can't remember the name) who basically says that if you want policy to move left, you have to push Democrats left. Sure you can complain about Republicans opposing progressive initiatives, but everyone already knows about that, and Republicans don't claim any different. The Democrats somehow still have a veneer of progressivism, but by and large they don't back it up. They also do the same things that Republicans get (sometimes rightly) called out for, but few seem to call them on it or even be aware of it. That's why Dore leverages most of his criticism at the left.

I think that's the point. Carlson has mainstream appeal and platforms people that disenchanted leftists/democrats listen to, like Dore and Gabbard.

It's easy for a person on the internet to tell you to end the relationship, and that is my first instinct, but 15 years + a kid is significant. If you decide that you're still invested in this, I recommend sex addiction treatment for him and couples therapy for you both. As to the latter, get someone who uses either the Gottman method or EFT (emotionally focused therapy). Both have a 70% success rate, by far the highest of any modality.

From section 3.3 Culture:

Mitchell and Vierkant (1989) compared two samples of patients with schizophrenia from the same hospital but who were hospitalized during two distinct periods: those admitted from 1933 to 1939 and those admitted from 1986 to 1987. The files reporting delusions and/or hallucinations were then examined. Differences were found regarding the primary sources of the AVH. The 1930s group reported sources that were religious in nature (God, the Holy Ghost, spirits) while the 1980s reported sources that were religious, secular and technological (God, devils/demons, doctor, scanner, television, radio). Differences were observed concerning content of AVH and in particular for command hallucinations: 1930s: benign and religious (“be a better person”, “live right”, be good and go to heaven”, “lean on the Lord”); 1980s: negative and destructive (“kill oneself/others”, “do perverse things”, “set fire to the lawn”). Finally, there were reported differences in terms of affective content of the AVH: “We want to go to heaven” versus “You will be crucified for your sins”. The cultural milieu may hence increase the probability of AVH having negative content.
