I don't think the justification for banning that material is that the fact itself is unethical. Rather, the topic, as it interacts in discussion and education, is unethical. For example, people might get insulted by the material, driven to some negative self images by the material, or, in the...

Yeah, I don't think so either, but I stand by my recommendation. No harm done, but it does make things awkward when names are tossed around :/ Haha, thanks! I still struggle with the distinction, but this is the best short hand I could give :/. There's definitely still some inaccuracy in the...

Hmmm....just realized I forgot to address this comment. Wanted to say, I think you meant this to sound different than it did...nonetheless, I'd recommend against singling out a person when you want to point out how you want to focus the discussion of this thread. However, I'm confused how you...

I'd say you can dispute facts when you have limited epistemic access....which is like always. But my little comment here is irrelevant to this topic....I just wanted to be a little annoying/picky ^_^ lol I don't think it makes sense to talk about facts as the state of affairs itself. That's...

I'd say facts can have moral attributions depending on the situation, but I'd say they are morally neutral in and of themselves. The best example I can think of is medical information obtained through immoral means. Some can argue that to use that information will validate the means by which...

Sorry, let me clarify. Thought is the conscious processes part. I just added an observation that thought can be of either sensory perception or of other thoughts. You could push me in saying that the term "conscious" begs the question for thought, but I'd say conscious, meaning consciousness is...

I'd say thought is whatever conscious processes are applied to either sense perception or other thoughts. Things like transformation that aren't actually happening, like imagining how to solve a Rubiks cube, or more complex things like abstract concepts I'd say are thoughts. Hopefully that's a...

That's not language in the way I think we mean here. Language is a kind of information transfer or encoding, but not all kinds of information transfer or encoding are languages. In fact, linguists talk about a specific set of criteria that must be demonstrated for something to be called a...

Haha, I know I've seen you around. I was more active a couple years ago, but I have pretty limited time now. My guess is your experience is an example of how this is only a correlative relation. The reason is that a liberal political position tends to stem from a change oriented attitude, while...

Researchers disagree whether political orientation should be used as an indicator of personality. While political orientation itself isn't personality, it does correlate very highly with the openness trait. So we can use it to predict your actual openness value. Also, this survey isn't usually...

Sorry, but I've never looked into career correlations with the big five past what is mentioned in undergraduate psych courses. I know that some exist, such as conscientiousness correlates with job success and extroversion correlates with job satisfaction. I just did a quick search and found...

You mean as compared to the gregariousness sub-facet? It's correlated at like ~.5. They don't measure the same thing, just similar things. Heh, nice :m155:
