Sure, but why do you have to know it? Who taught you it? Why is it important? Do you just absorb things without context?

I’m just hearing Charlie Brown teacher muah muah muah noises here, what did you say?

Let’s just have no moderation at all then - HN for people who believe in the market of ideas (that’s what you lot like calling it, right? Some nerd shit like that)

Go wild, the NYT has platformed some inherently questionable people and that should be questioned (let’s start with all the alt-right people they platformed over 2014-2017 making them out to be these friendly talking heads and go from there!) However, the U.K. has an ecosystem of right wing funded papers and being ignorant of that while talking about what’s in the article is cringe.

No, ideas should always be stated with the context they were produced in, including the people who made it. You can’t publish a physics paper without context (why are we checking this equation, what is the theory behind it, who are the authors behind previous papers and what have they said), let alone a boring online news article. Ideas do not create themselves spontaneously, they need a mind behind them. Don’t be tedious!

Please don’t post unherd here - it’s a bunch of U.K. journalists who want to write for the telegraph but can’t because they’re not rich enough, and the majority is tedious far right talking points you could hear anyone in a crappy pub spout off about after a few drinks.

The hard truth is that farming/homesteading is difficult, dangerous work which is even more difficult if you’re doing it cut off from a community. You have to be doing it for your own satisfaction rather than anything else, as the glory days of homesteading were almost 150 years ago in America.

Cities work great for many people, there’s no denying that. The main question should be what works for you, rather than anything else.

Aye, I used to live somewhere like that as well. It’s still ridiculous when outside is 40C and inside is 16C, there’s no need for that.

Okay, but if an office is so cold that people are putting scarves and jackets on, that’s a problem. It’s also a huge waste of energy.

Letters change shape depending on where they are in the word, so almost certainly! :)

Buddy, the article was about moral relativism from different cultures and western grandstanding. If you want a good primer, go and read Edward Said/Franz Fanon/Huda Sha'arawi/Kim Tallbear like the rest of us.

Why are you so keen on fucking animals? Asking in good faith, assuming you’re not doing it in bad faith. You know the article is disingenuous and funded by Fox News style journalism, right?

Haha, it would not be the worst headline out of England this week - I meant to say funding in that last paragraph somewhere!

And as someone just mentioned to me just now - Unherd is funded by the same people who do GBNews, who are trying to set up a Fox News style service in the U.K.

Also might be related to the Mumford who resigned from the Sons recently as well, it sounds like his Dad funds it.

The type of article like this is in the U.K. often at the moment - presented liberal with an awful lot of ‘here’s my wonderful argument that sounds liberal and intellectual but if you dig and think about it for about half a second you realise it’s a huge distraction.’

It happens a lot with comment pieces in the U.K (and when I say U.K. I really mean England here) in national magazines and newspapers. Like, never mind that he’s completely ignoring non-western modern philosophers and thinkers, not to mention left and human rights groups in those countries who are doing their own thing without having to do this kinda gross comparison, but this seems like it was also co-ordinated with the Spectator (which is a right wing magazine) which also had a weird animal sex article in it recently.
