I'll start the series on confirmation

Also, I was mistaken and will be disclosing role list now. Games are usually DP start, however due to being 7 players and the given set-up, it will be a NP start for this first game. Subsequent games will be DP start.Ā 

Roles

Mafia- may target one person to kill per night

2x Goon- powerless mafia

Town

1x Doctor- can protect one player per night from being killed if targeted by mafia.Ā 
1x Cop- can investigate one player per night and determine whether the player is innocentĀ orĀ guilty.
3x Vanilla- powerless town

Best of luck! šŸ‘

And to hold any of the above as being equivalent to "dismissing" the gap itself, seems rather absurd to me. It does count as dismissing the claim that the gap is "because sexism" as it is almost exclusively presented to establish šŸ¤”

I will admit, that I remember reading at one point, as opposed to 20% there is about 3-5% gap that can't be accounted for. But, bear in mind, it wasnt ever claimed sexism doesn't exist. But rather, that if there is a 3-5% difference that is unaccounted for, it becomes far less likely its "because sexism" and likelier fmpov that the percentage difference might be potentially error in data analysis/collection, error in correlative analysis, or a variety of other things than "sexism". 20% is a number that is too large to hold that as even possible, but again that 20% is a disgenuine statistic that doesn't factor in many things that ought be šŸ¤”

When Peterson outright dismisses the wage gap as a myth, he's arguing against empirical observations of the gap, without using empirical observations of his own

He doesn't outright dismiss it, that is a total mis-characterization of his view. Simmer down here Cenk, people can actually watch say, his interview with Kathy Newman and see his opinion is:

1) "There is a gap"Ā 
2) Just because the gap exists, does not mean it is "because sexism"Ā 
3) there are a multitude of factors that go into income:

Height for men, weight for women:


Attractiveness for both:


Peterson himself is a clinical psychologist, and knows full well, and honestly I have little doubt you do as well, that assertiveness is a large predictive factor as well among a multitude of others.Ā 

His position is no more different than:

"I don't believe that a wage gap is indicative of sexism against women, but I don't doubt that womenĀ tendĀ to get paid less than men for the same jobs"

He says this same thing, and then supplies data supported factors that have been conclusively shown to be very predictive factors in income. I couldn't give two craps about what some dude said about galileo, the example you gave is NOT rationalism v empiricism. There is no more empirical claim that could be made then to say there is a gap, but that gap is not necessarily sexism, and likely isnt either as for example the basic observation:

-Women tend to be more agreeable than men
-Agreeableness psychologically includes *a degree of a lack of *assertiveness*
-Assertiveness is a large factor in successfully negotiating the best deal possible
-wage agreements are often a negotiation, especially in high paying professionsĀ 

None of the aforementioned are non-empirical. Not only that, as an added bonus, they are still standalone highly rational observations. And thats just for one of the multitude of established factors that go into income.Ā 

I at this point have to question exactly what you consider to be "empirical" if you think the claim,Ā 

"A gap exists, but it is not necessarily or even likely due to sexism."

Is a non-empirical claim. I can understand why you immediately take it that way by the claim that it is a myth. But the devil is in the details because the "myth" being posited is that it is "because sexism" and also in part that the data is often presented disgenuously and does very little factoring for these kinds of presented variables. For example:


Again, i have to seriously question why you consider skepticism in light of this kind of data regarding the claim that the wage gap is "because sexism" non-empirical. When empirical principles would hold skepticism in light of such data to be the proper course šŸ¤”.Ā 

I am seriously confused how this example at all pertains to this proposed rationalism v empiricism conflict you posited. Because in this posited example it isnt the case

Tbh, it looks like its all experienced players lol. Not sure how i feel about throwing a beginner to the wolves like that as i mentioned before as to why i wanted to start this.... hrmmm, this is just really gonna be a dry run of the series. But the positive of that is lurkers or new users have a basic game to read to further get a sense of the game.Ā 

Ill start the series on confirmation. Information regarding Phase length and replacement policy among other things will be disclosed in the Beginners Series 1.1 DP1 Thread.Ā

On a serious note, i dont think both training and arming certain teachers is a bad idea. Necessarily, but a better way to go about it fmpov is just hiring guards or something like that. Maybe military veterans? That way training is gucci for the most part. Specific situational training can be given easily enough and wouldn't be as expensive as the teacher route which would imho require far more money spent.Ā 

The practical concern with that fmpov is that those guards might otherwise be known and planned for. BUT, guards need not necessarily *only* be guards. They can be hidden in plain sight as another staff member like janitor, teacher, cafeteria, etc.Ā 

Another concern might be losing control of that weapon somehow. Or using it in a situation where it shouldnt be. But perhaps mandatory safe storage and specific restrictions to only mandate use in an active shooter situation?Ā 

Just the possibility of guns is a major deterrent, let alone when a gun(or another) enters the situation. Personal experience, one time ive had to pull out my firearm at home, and just the sound of cocking the shotgun caused whoever was trying to break in to run away.Ā 
Ā 
Obviously, school shooters would be different, they'll just keep going till they're stopped or cornered often. So the presence of firearms to me seems a necessity to reducing total harm in such a situation šŸ¤”. And SRO's and the like dont seem to be cutting it, and like in Parkland, preventative measures are abysmal. Ignoring warning signs, not passing along information, waiting outside and letting the shooter run rampant, all just no bueno fmpov. All these things need to be addressed, arming certain staff members, or hiring staff members that are fully capable of being armed, would just be addressing one of them, but it seems like a solid place to start

Like when it comes to humans and crabs comparison, the same could be illustrated by pointing to the vast scope of hierarchal structures in nature. He could've easily pointed to a variety of mammalian species to establish the same point. But he also wanted to establish that *its not just mammals that have hierarchies and hormonal reward systems for escalating said heirarchies.Ā 

And really, the only way i can see that not being a sensible conclusion is by attacking the theory of evolution itself and the supposition thats developed since then of macroevolution as an explanation for the variety of species on earth that are vastly different in many ways, but still share a great amount of similarities in their genome with each other.Ā

I don't disagree at all that he says things that are sometimes too simplistic. But i also clearly contested specifically that sometimes the answer actually is simple, the interpretation sometimes need not rush down the path of nuance, particularly when that nuance does not actually get you closer to a rational judgement and primarily obfuscates those kinds of judgements. Theres a high value to simple thinking, and sometimes, A+B really does just equal C . An examination of D, E, F, G, H, and so on just becoming an excercise in obfuscation and stepping further away from conclusions that can be concretely acted upon šŸ¤”

That's not what i was doing at all. You posited by appealing to authority of those specialized in the fields(specifically history and society(sociology?) that his view of history is too simplistic.Ā His main complaint regarding history as its taught is that its becoming too simplistic in its post modern view of history.Ā "Expert opinion"And when that expert opinion he is addressing is that history amounts to an oppressive patriarchy, that expert opinion ceases to be credible. It doesn't matter the education level, it doesnt matter how much consensus there is, consensus =\= truth and you know this just as well as i do.Ā See, Peterson may be a psychologist, and alot of his perspectives are filtered through that lens. But he has regardless spent decades studying history, politics(and the extreme philosophies found therein), so thatĀ  he doesn't have a specific education in that field, that what he is saying is against general concensus, *doesnt matter that is fallacial logic*.Ā I also addressed the opinion of it being absurd to compare humans to crabs. In many ways it is, but in certain ways it is not. The equivalent of this complaint would be, "well that's apples to oranges" but they're *both fruit* so why cant they be compared so long as the comparisons are limited in scope and meant to establish specified similarities.Ā I never once posited that YOU believe any of that. I posited that your complaint was absurd because it was exactly the same complaint regarding history that he is saying about the aforementioned concensus you just appealed to.Ā I don't know much regarding your specific beliefs, you are correct about that. So how much sense does it make that i was addressing assumed beliefs instead of just the specific things you were saying? I can certainly understand you thinking that's what I was trying to do because many would do exactly that. But the assertion you presented is nonetheless untrue. šŸ¤”

My lord, his comparison in lobsters was to establish that hormonal rewards for progress in a heirarchy was not original to people. It is something that was existent before the hominid species was even existent.Ā 

I'll say the same thing i just said. You are appealing to nuance as a knee jerk reaction because you go, "comparing humans to lobsters?! Thats absurd!"

Is it really absurd? Are humans independent of nature? Or are we a product of it?Ā

Until the close of the current series, it is respectfully requested that signees remain limited to beginner players. Upon the closing ofn the first series, sign-upsĀ  wil open to any willing participants.Ā

No, link here, this is gonna be a running sign-up thread. Now that the 7 player series is filled, Sign-Ups are open for the next series. Until the current series end I feel it best to limit signees to solely beginners. At the end of this series, any unfilled spots will be opened up to any willing participants. Thoughts? šŸ¤”
