Well. I guess if you kill your child holistically, you can still have the approval of that New Agey crowd that loves their "natural" medicine.

@BeechMtn Capitalism is great at efficiently generating lots and lots of wealth, but it's the worst at distributing it equitably.

wanted: work
I am a copywriter, although I could do a lot of different kinds of writing. I bet I could do technical writing, if it came up. I know about marketing but honestly I don't like doing it very much.
I'm also an editor! And a regular writer! And a lot of other things!
If you know someone who needs me, or what I can do, please suggest me. I'm good at what I do and unemployed!

@omanreagan This parallels the biological commitment to constructivist explanations, too -- we went through our determinist phase about 30+ years ago.

"Constructivism, on the other hand, says that it is not that simple; there are always multiple technological options, technology is flexible and social contingencies determine which paths technology takes. Most scholars of technology now emphasize the latter perspective." (ibid.)

@starbreaker Also, some people are paid far more than they're worth.
Why, hello, Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump, and the whole dang Walton family!

@catdad But it does justify ignoring students' privacy, which is probably the real point.

You probably aren't getting paid what you're worth.

Is there a name for the law that says any online community is bound to disappoint you, usually because of gutless decision to avoid "offending" some snowflake or another? If there isn't, there ought to be.

Why am I getting this sudden flood of follows from mastodon.social?
If this were the birdsite, I'd think I committed some ghastly faux pas and the vultures were about to descend on me and pick the flesh from my bones. But this isn't that place, right?
