Replying to @glazayenota
The bad thing is that he engaged in an orgy not because he "raped" someone. She was a ketamine whore who enjoyed being gangbanged; she wasn't raped.

As much as I oppose hijra as a wide scale movement in favor of developing American Islam, this is a roadblock I can’t ignore. You can dedicate your life to becoming a high culture Muslim intellectual in the West and your son will still be a degenerate frat bro doing gangbangs
This guy’s father is a religious Muslim convert and an academic in Islamic studies, and I recently found out he’s the translator of this book from al-Ghazali’s Ihya Ulum al-Din which I’ve owned for years. This kid is definitely at home getting his ass beat right now

The selective sharia application by Saudi is brilliant. In spite of their geopolitical alignment and cultural upheaval, these stunts make it seemingly difficult to argue they are a rapidly secularizing society. “State sponsored brothels, but we kіll a jeet every now and again”
A 24-year-old Sri Lankan migrant worker has been sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for insulting Prophet Muhammad.

I know so many sensitive young misogynists who were practically raised for these positions
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists I predict the trend accelerates Letter from @AQRCapital below

"we still don’t know why that causes this bias at the individual level. We looked for a relationship with handedness, the dominant foot, the dominant eye, sex, etc, etc… and found nothing" Tawaf is a demonstration of primordial disposition. thedailystar.net/slow-reads/…

This is exactly why I felt compelled to write a response to The Muslim Technologist We can talk endlessly about Islamic ethics in tech, but if the framework eventually produces leveraged crypto yield loops as "Islam-aligned", perhaps the problem exists beneath the ethics layer.

Until recently it was unheard of for people to select which books they read or shows they watched based on character dynamics present in those works. They actively seek out “orphan girl with powers”, “alcoholic cop with a past” or “unrelated male father figure” dynamics.
There is no type once you fall in love. Love is ajeeb like that, it makes you fall for things you never even knew you liked

Love, similarly, cannot be segmented into obscene lists of criteria.

This is likely the result of the commodification of entertainment as capital tries (fails) to dissect great stories into ingredients for formulaic success. The hyper-specific “what’s your type” & red/beige flag slop comes from a similar impetus. It misses the forest for the trees

I am reminded of Shaykh AHM’s critique on rhe Disney Star Wars trilogy. Modern media despises the ideals of virtue, guidance, and initiation. So much of media today is a depiction of people seeking to “define themselves”, endlessly navel gazing at the expense of moral development

Gunn’s Superman was a breath of fresh air in this respect. Yet it only foiled the grim anti-hero archetype (think Rusty Cohle). The Dark Knight Returns (animated, 2012) is a different, more daring inversion in its telling of the hero who is absolutely superior.
Lanterns finale was pure bullshit. Some of the most nihilistic subversive deconstructive garbage put on screen that would make even Garth Ennis roll his eyes A show made by people who genuinely hate the medium of comic books and superheroes and want to demoralize you

The hero returns on a black steed, immediately displaying what distinguishes him. Not mere charisma or power, but wisdom and discernment. He does not succumb to the anarchic impulses that ensnare lesser men. Because this isn’t about mass politics. It’s about one man’s will.

Contrasted with Gunn’s Superman. A hero with a heart of pure gold, but who is unmistakably desperate to be accepted, and who sees himself as no better than the common man. He symbolizes extraordinary good through mundane virtue. Both takes on the “Super” man tell us something.
