Why do some taxi drivers have big, flashy new Mercs and Audis? I see these types of taxis quite often (not Uber). How can taxi drivers afford such cars?
@matigo Her disposition/ideology means she’s assuming that stigma, prejudice and discrimination are automatically always bad.
@matigo Stigma, prejudice and discrimination aren’t only useful in instinctive cases like reptiles. They can be useful in considered cases too. What I was thinking was, the lady's argument has a more fundamental problem than nested ifs. It’s founded at bottom on assumptions or shibboleths, doctrine even.
@matigo What do you have against stigma, prejudice and discrimination? They’re all useful. (I sort of think they’re essentially the same thing anyway).
Among the Navajo indians, the goddess who taught humans writing, apparently resembled a spider. If it’s just because writing looks spidery, that's not very interesting. If it’s for some other, more profound reason…that’s interesting.
