IDK what country your from, but in the US, mistrusting doctors and the institutions of health is the most rational thing in the world. That's because our healthcare is capitalistic and runs on that logic. People die all the time because helping them would cut into profits.

The real insanity is thinking that the government, corporations, and the media would suddenly work together to benefit the health of the public.... for free.

Antivaxers are not stupid, they just never lived in a world where Doctors and Hospitals cared about public health.

Foucault would like a word.

If you read the article, it's not equivocating, it's contrasting.

the safety of the actual car is good enough for consumers

This is a revealing statement.

Yea, I started to get suspicious when he called Hegel a fool and a fraud.

The ironic part is that the author himself relies on definitions to make his point. He slyly asserts that "social constructs" are "made up" and therefore should and can be ignored like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Of course, I doubt that the author would claim that there are no social differences between a black woman and black man, because that would expose his argument for what it is.

He writes to say: There is no essence in these identities, therefore we can ignore them. His argument is just a bunch of jargon piled on top of "I don't see race".

I'm not a Scientologist, I am suspicious of psychology because I know it's history. Sociology never suggested stabbing someone in the eye with an icepick, or create a psychosexualsatanic fantasy that gets innocent people put in prison. Economics never spearheaded a forced sterilization movement.

But their so much better today with the pseudoscience of IQ or the land of make-believe called evolutionary psychology.

Tell him he should smile more.

If you're going to get rid of essentialism, you're going to have take on bigger fish than creationists. Because the problem of essentialism is not that it objectifies everything, it's that it refuses to understand the difference between language and ideas.

The worst essentialists are called structuralists or logocentrics. This kind of thinking is dominant in Western Philosophy and it infects the minds of people you probably respect, progressives like Noam Chomsky and reactionaries like Christopher Hitchens.

Essentialism is like capitalism. It's in the air we breath and the water we drink. It's so accepted and conventional that people will assume your a fool for describing or criticizing it.

Elon promise: 10nm precision Elon Delivers: truck stuck with glue.

I think the problem with Tesla is that they have too many legacy hires making decisions.

This isn't "Clash of the Titans", more like the "will they or won't they" tension from a 3rd rate sitcom.

Jesus' idea of running a universe is like Elon's ideas about running a company.

He even did a flood once to drown all the DEI.

On his knees.
