Where to draw the line: how Platonism haunts our discourse and the search for exorcism
by slimboyfat inin the discussion about race i adopted a position i am not entirely comfortable with.
i think there is a sense in which it is useful to distinguish categories of description that can be fruitfully defended (apples and bananas) and those that cannot (caucasian or other racial descriptions for example).
but there is a more fundamental sense in which i believe that everything is socially constructed, every single line you can think of.

Hollow earth
by Jrjw ini thought the flat earth conspiracy theory was strange but ive just read an article about a new conspiracy theory that the earth is hollow and that its a paradise there and 8 foot tall intellectually advanced aliens live there who send space ships out every so often to check on mankind.
apparently lost viking colonies and nazis that fled there after world war 2 are living there immortally π€£π€£ .
this world just gets better and better π€£π€£π€£π€£.

You are spot on crow. What can change is what that one inch means to the observer. To an ant, one inch is huge. To an elephant, not so much. The inch never changed.
Race is an observable and even definable characteristic but it dosent change the basic fact that person being described is human. The earth is fucking sphere no matter who may observe it or try to define it Otherwise. The physics of the universe depends on it. I am all for questioning the assumed realities but the flat earth thing is a preposterous troll exceeded only by any attempt to legitimize it by arguing over it.

Wow dub, you have a podcast, i will have to check that out...
to your remarks on shunning, i read it as i did in light of the following quote:
β If he owned up to some mistake in the past is he forever defined by it like a disfellowshipped person is forever labeled unless they come crawling back?β
it seemed like a shunning comparison in that quote. I responded as such. If you meant it differently or perhaps i read words that were not there then of course the conversation can and should be modified to reflect such. I also see you have a podcast, i will have to check that out.
you also asked if he should βforeverβ be labled as something he admitted to... good question. Is a pedophile ALWAYS labled a pedophile? When does the label expire? Is a murderer ALWAYS a murderer? When does the label expire on that? i also see from a few of your posts that you have a podcast, i will have to check that out...
the issue, and i hesitate to repeat myself, is that LLOYD brough this up. In a book. In a book HE wrote. In a book HE wrote and HE published and HE profited from. Neither lloyd nor anyone else has just cause to be upset when lloyd is questioned about something HE wrote and HE published in a book that HE sold and profited from. This wasnt a tell all by a tabloid. LLOYD wrote the book. And LLOYD published it. LLOYD made money from it. I also see you have a podcast... iβll have to check that out.
Wrapped up in this is the idea that the wt org has spent a very long time hiding pedophiles. Lloyd is writting book about being in and ultimately leaving that cult... he manages to drop a glaring reference to some pedophiliac activities in his book then runs away... but its our fault for asking for details? No sir. Save your self righteous bleeding heart defense for those who need or deserve it. Lloyd is neither.
I also see you have a podcast! I will have to check that out.

That is incorrect . There are HUGE differences between attempts to categorize humans into sub categories (ie βracesβ) and in describing the physical shape of the planet we live on and therefore the physics of the universe.
