Something about this guy is overrated ... Time = Book = Cycle = Wise ??? 😆 View quoted note →

I love Jonathan Haidt ... the episode with James Lindsay was amazing as well:

This is such a thought-inspiring book: „Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution“ by Carl R. Trueman. It is the condensed version of his previous work „The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution“. I'm not a real christian, but find the christian perspective very beneficial nevertheless. Here's the summary from Goodreads: How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman shows how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of "expressive individualism." Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics, providing readers with a clearer understanding of the modern implications of these ideas on religion, free speech, and issues related to personal identity. For fans of Trueman's The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, this new book offers a more concise presentation and application of some of the most critical topics of our day.

I'm going to write my bachelor thesis in social work about #masculinity and the problems boys and #men face in current society ... any books or thoughts you'd suggest in that area? also pinging @Joel Walbert and @pipe because i'd like their input #asknostr

I HATE low contrast websites, so this is my new favourite #firefox addon: https://github.com/Fushko/font-contrast

Font Contrast – Holen Sie sich diese Erweiterung für 🦊 Firefox (de)

Laden Sie Font Contrast für Firefox herunter. Improves webpage readability.

Simple add-on to improve legibility on hard to read websites. Allows you to turn all or hard to read text to black, to dim to a darker shade of the same color (e.g. light grey to dark grey), or to increase the size of fonts below a certain threshold. It does so using no JS on the page contents, but rather a simple <style> element.

"As a responsible citizen bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders you obliviate the necessity of the tyrant and the slave." This sentence stood out to me, because it's so true in my experience ... Jordan Peterson in his closing speech of the ARC Conference #JordanPeterson #ARC #responsibility

Even though i'm basically only using #Amethyst and #Nostrudel, with the occasional #snort mixed in, my relay settings are getting set to 3 relays over and over ... i find this tiring and frustrating, i've set my usual 16 relays over and over now and again it's back to 3 here in nostrudel ... can't find the reason ... this sucks #nostr

@Thoth posts these lovely videos that i enjoy so much, but why can I only see them on #amethyst and not on #nostrudel or #snort? Is there a way i can find their videos on a desktop client?

Can somebody recommend me a non-partisan, medium deep documentary/explanation/whatever of the main differences between #Keynesian and #Austrian #economics? No ideology if possible, i'd like to think for myself. #asknostr

So I have started to get some small amount of bitcoins (via bity) and am thinking to save more of them over time ... but i also want to test how I can convert them to fiat € in order to know & experience first hand how this is done. Would #bity also be a good way to do this or are there better options? Any opinions about this AgoraDesk that i saw on F-Droid?
