For example, Greta roared &#34;How dare you&#34; at the UN climate action summit, delivering a speech centered around emotions. But in her climate book the mode is instead presenting a wide range of expertise with the concluding hope &#34;you can start connecting the dots yourself&#34;. However in both cases what she is doing is fundamentally political activism. <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub16jr6tn76pth8u36wjh0j09zmed42aue7slg8er9nw3qtl6wuh3us8cknep" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Redish Lab</span> (<span class="italic">npub16jr…knep</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1l948sxqcldn6df8tesk62qmwm5ey4qzyrjm569uau7fhvl7pucsq4g7x64" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Benjamin Paassen</span> (<span class="italic">npub1l94…7x64</span>)</a></span> 2026-03-05T16:55:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9vchd2n5wqqa6t3q595q09ldq8k698f5rp5xzk7vpqkw9efa86rgzyzpw6fmcpzgdqc9wasrtlc0szdgpfnly38phhy7zxptfjkx6ldhgvvev7u5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8wxrvl6prakynz4vt9cn2gtt9pknfhn9w6alz34uf86za6vwxewc6p3vft'>nevent1q…3vft</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think part of the confusion you express comes from not specifying the context in which the political speech is happening; political speech on an apple box in the street is different in kind from the political speech at the parliamentary hearing.<br/><br/>For example the initial claims that the activists doesn&#39;t have to engage with the arguments of the other side is true for the street case, but is not necessarily true in parliament (depends largely on how good the opposing arguments are).<br/><br/>The reason for this distinction is partially the social context, but also that the content of debate is different, on the street you do not bother with the details and it&#39;s only the big principles that matter. In parliament you are in the unfortunate position of having to do all the detailed work, and have to resolve the contradictions between opposing principles that arise in the particulars.<br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1l948sxqcldn6df8tesk62qmwm5ey4qzyrjm569uau7fhvl7pucsq4g7x64" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Benjamin Paassen</span> (<span class="italic">npub1l94…7x64</span>)</a></span> 2026-03-05T10:16:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9d3uav0rkqu3rk7atvkqqudkj2h2lu0he42aja4uxdv80nv24juczyzpw6fmcpzgdqc9wasrtlc0szdgpfnly38phhy7zxptfjkx6ldhgvj97hzh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8s06u82zpv4xtqjgwjkvkx3v3quajfpar0ngkxty7gj8pxurfk7ce67erg'>nevent1q…7erg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The benefit of explicitly articulating your theoretical base is mainly that you have the opportunity to make it consistent across the area you work in.<br/><br/>The risk with not articulating your theory of the field is you pick up methods from others that build on different assumptions and then the end result is not very good because it is self-contradictory.<br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub17x47t64ds83pr9rt44wuhx8fv6y3jnzs875pn9t24fzdmjegjz9sycu7yh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Martin Rundkvist</span> (<span class="italic">npub17x4…u7yh</span>)</a></span> 2025-05-16T09:57:22Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp5ls2aqdzetnwqmc422s60nyccn0mj6emwgqt48w4gl3ss6tks5gzyzpw6fmcpzgdqc9wasrtlc0szdgpfnly38phhy7zxptfjkx6ldhgvxghy70 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxc0h86yamd63xnd8ewl0cvk7sd5cwml8kee8kkpxnvrycxnydmmsvu9npt'>nevent1q…9npt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Wonder what sort of Christian theology Douthat would get if instead of Copenhagen the believed in the many worlds interpretation 🤔<br/><br/>Or they could try Barbour&#39;s related interpretation, where QM is perfectly timless and the universal wavefunction just happens to concentrate on state space points that from the inside look like they are part of a history... 2024-10-24T20:34:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrcffs6h5skupdalpfv54kygt6j674r0n8nfm4ee90ndglrvmpxzszyzpw6fmcpzgdqc9wasrtlc0szdgpfnly38phhy7zxptfjkx6ldhgvdz8h6h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdmnep528nf4p0wlt69x6llhp80extm5xggqxyaemyeudft6q9hgcfhjxys'>nevent1q…jxys</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Almost entirely unrelated, a friend once saw an advertisement for a rental apartment in Germany that stated that the _floor_ was not included! 2024-09-12T08:27:28Z
