πŸ“š Overview of Key Concepts

Here's a breakdown of Critical Race Theory, Unconscious Bias, Intersectionality, Systemic Racism, and Transgenderism:

Concept Definition Key Points
Critical Race Theory (CRT) An academic framework that examines the relationship between race, law, and power. - Originated in the U.S. legal studies in the late 1970s. - Argues that racism is embedded in legal systems and policies. - Focuses on the experiences of marginalized groups.
Unconscious Bias Social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their conscious awareness. - Influences decisions and behaviors unconsciously. - Can affect hiring, promotions, and interactions. - Awareness and training can help mitigate its effects.
Intersectionality A framework for understanding how various forms of inequality and discrimination overlap and intersect. - Coined by KimberlΓ© Crenshaw in the late 1980s. - Highlights how race, gender, class, and other identities interact. - Emphasizes the unique experiences of individuals with multiple marginalized identities.
Systemic Racism A form of racism that is embedded in the policies and practices of societal institutions. - Affects access to resources, opportunities, and rights. - Can be seen in education, healthcare, criminal justice, and employment. - Often perpetuated through historical inequalities.
Transgenderism Refers to the experience and identity of individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. - Encompasses a range of identities, including transgender, non-binary, and genderqueer. - Advocates for rights and recognition in society. - Issues include healthcare access, legal recognition, and social acceptance.

🧐 Detailed Explanations

πŸ“– Critical Race Theory (CRT)

Critical Race Theory emerged as a response to perceived limitations in traditional civil rights approaches. It posits that racism is not just an individual bias but a systemic issue that is ingrained in the fabric of society. CRT scholars analyze how laws and policies can perpetuate racial inequalities, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of race and its implications in various contexts.

🧠 Unconscious Bias

Unconscious Bias refers to the automatic judgments we make about people based on their race, gender, age, or other characteristics. These biases can lead to unintentional discrimination in various settings, such as workplaces or educational institutions. Training programs aimed at increasing awareness of these biases can help individuals recognize and counteract their effects.

🌈 Intersectionality

Intersectionality is crucial for understanding the complexities of identity and oppression. It recognizes that individuals can face multiple forms of discrimination simultaneously. For example, a Black woman may experience both racism and sexism, which can create unique challenges that are not fully addressed by looking at either issue in isolation.

🌍 Systemic Racism

Systemic Racism highlights how societal structures and institutions can perpetuate racial inequalities. This concept emphasizes that racism is not just about individual actions but is embedded in policies and practices that disadvantage certain racial groups. Addressing systemic racism requires comprehensive reforms across various sectors, including education, healthcare, and criminal justice.

πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ Transgenderism

Transgenderism encompasses a wide range of identities and experiences related to gender. Advocacy for transgender rights focuses on issues such as legal recognition, healthcare access, and protection against discrimination. The movement seeks to create a more inclusive society that respects and affirms diverse gender identities.


These concepts are interconnected and play significant roles in discussions about social justice, equality, and human rights. If you have specific questions about any of these topics or want to explore them further, feel free to ask!

refute thier claims

That's what the defense is supposed to be attempting in an adversarial trial system.

My current bias is that an adversarial system is a good way to actually achieve justice, but I'd be open to learning about non-adversarial criminal trials.

"just believe women" (emphasis mine) implies not applying the evidentiary standard or due process to accusations from women. If we apply due process we aren't just believing them, we are (also) verifying their claims.

But, like I said, the "justice" system is broken. Not only do we have ACAB issues, and DAs being political, but there's systemic bias against women and the marginalized from judges. (The "right" judge might not have a negative bias, but "on average" there seems to be a measurable effect/affect, tho it is hard to be sure you are comparing like with like when aggregating cases.) All of those are aggravated due to Captial being unequality distributed, and legally influencing 2.5/3 of those systems.

So, do you want to drop "innocent until proven guilty" for every accusation by a woman or do you have some simpler system than "evidence presented in an adversarial trial" you'd like to filter them through?

The justice system is broken, and I don't know if it can be fixed. It is far too affected by Capital.

Universal love and Transcendent joy

But, if you can't do that, I'd like to enjoy the things I used to (~ 2019?) enjoy.

I did know that. I don't recall pronouncing it incorrectly since learning that fact, but I don't talk about those books or their author frequently.

It's "Lay" because it's borrowed from / referencing "lay person" i.e. not a member of the (TeX) priesthood.

People should be able to name their own babies.

I disagree. I think persons should name themselves. But, I understand there are practicalities that require some name to be assigned by outsiders at least until the person can talk.

For things that aren't conscious or are incapable of speech, I think we collectively assign a name. I'm fine giving higher weight to the name chosen by the "creator" or "discover", but I'm not fine with giving them veto power / final cut.

It's "up tack": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Up_tack

I always pronounced it bottom because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_element_and_least_element#Top_and_bottom or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type which is how the Haskell report (where I got comfortable with the symbol) uses it.

LaTeX (/ˈlɑːtΙ›k/ β“˜ LAH-tek or /ˈleΙͺtΙ›k/ LAY-tek,[2] often stylized as LaTeX) is a software system for typesetting documents

Note the pronunciation is distinct from /ˈleΙͺˌtΙ›ks/ the material.

But, sure everyone has to make that joke at least once.

I could see that if beef is really expensive and pizza doesn't include any beef "by default".
