Is Islam Compatible with Western Civilisation?
When someone declares that Islam is "incompatible with Western civilisation," why is the West automatically treated as the moral standard? Before you judge whether Islam fits your "Western" world, you must first prove that your world is morally defensible.https://wrzky.com/is-islam-compatible-with-western-civilisation/

Why do traditional ethics fail in a thermodynamic universe? A transgressive look at deontology, moral relativism, and the physical cost of survival.
I decided to reinvent Western Ethics one night while talking with someone I was dating...
We're still dating, funnily enough! 😹

A quotation from George Orwell
All nationalists have the power of not seeing resemblances between similar sets of facts. A British Tory will defend self-determination in Europe and oppose it in India with no feeling of inconsistency. Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits, but according to who does them, and there is almost no kind of outrage — torture, the use of hostages, forced labour, mass deportations, imprisonment without trial, forgery, assassination, the bombing of civilians — which does not change its moral colour when it is committed by ‘our’ side.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)More about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/17246/

Credo che per porre fine in modo equo al conflitto in MO, perlomeno a questo stadio, occorrerebbe pretendere, indipendentemente l'una dall'altra cosa, il disarmo volontario di Hamas (che sanno benissimo quello che fanno) e il cessate il fuoco a Israele (che sanno benissimo quello che fanno).
E poi ricostruire, case e vite.
Più moralmente relativista di così stasera non mi riesce. Scusatemi se non tifo.

Working through this & Special Issue it introduces.
V. helpful on many levels as I try to theorise & practise 'why things matter to people', including whether/how academic writing matters (cf the whole #AI thing)
