You are very welcome!
I’m glad to be able to be of appreciation, as I know how that is - looks like you are in the right place to discuss political science though!
In the interest of conversation, maybe you can explain or point me to an explanation of why Anarchism vs. Marxism is considered “idealism vs materialism” in sociology?
In Psychology, we had an “idealism vs materialism” debate, but it is mostly resolved with a sort of “idealistic materialism” or “materialistic idealism” where, essentially, “idealism <=> materialism”, as I understand it.
I’m curious about what the current state of the art is, in that debate!
Either way, I’ll definitely spend some time in !politics@lemmy.ml checking things out.
Have you read about the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights yet?
Based on my understanding, that treaty will require us to have universal healthcare and social security.

A good rule of thumb is to measure twice, cut once, so perhaps give it a try twice: once where you answer philosophically and once where you answer practically?
I’m due for taking it again, myself, but I generally consider myself a radical moderate (I’m all for system-wide changes) and I think Pew described me as “faith and family left” when I last took the test.
Hah, hello neighbor :D
I’m curious how universal these political typologies could be made. I’m sure this one might apply a great deal to a number of western countries, if you change the names accordingly, etc.
IAEA is the international body responsible for standardizations on nuclear energy.
Four years is not a long span of time in the context of nuclear energy, where technological developments take the scale of decades.
This press release pertains to the newly announced western strategy for nuclear, low-carbon energy. That strategy is still current.
By working to ensure that everyone can benefit from nuclear science, the IAEA underpins rights enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 1976. These include the right to benefit from scientific progress; the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to the highest-attainable standard of health.
The Agency does this by using nuclear science to combat zoonotic diseases; bolster food safety; protect fruits from pests; strengthen water management; treat cancer; and of course, to help countries mitigate climate change.

heh, you should see it now - they’ve expanded the features.
i’ll take a look at the controversy, thanks.
edit: skimmed it, looks like contrived controversy to me - a rather unprofessional software reviewer that isn’t willing to engage with their subject? no thanks… but to each their own.
We appreciate you, ignore those downvotes lol, you’re still getting upvotes.
It’s only $108/yr for unlimited searches, if you actually need that many. I’m a retired software engineer and search all the time, so I just went with the unlimited plan, but most people don’t actually search more than 300 times a month.

edt: also, you do get what you pay for. the search results are dramatically different - it’s easy to do a test search and compare the results.
Well, it’s only $108/yr for unlimited searches.
And I used to use search engines professionally for work (think potentially hundereds of searches per day, sometimes), so it’s easy for me to justify paying for quality.
But according the data, most regular folk won’t search more than 300 times per month. Some days you might search more, some you might search less, you know?
Wrong, retired software engineer here.
Some people use search for more than finding recipes and google has been sucking at professional search for a while now, as has been repeatedly reported at Hacker News
Awesome, that’s exactly the type of feedback from a professional that I was looking for - I feel almost exactly the same.
Other than I feel a little bit fanboy-ish now lol.
Indeed, similarly it is fine to ignore the downvotes in this post lol.
asklemmy isn’t news.ycombinator, afterall.
After using the trial for a month and reaching the limit, i decided to pay for the $108/yr unlimited searches.
Kagi did statistical analysis before assigning pricing (it was a long process that they would update us on while they gave us leniency on the quotas). They found that 300 per month was the sweet spot for a lot of regular people that might only search a few times a week or others that might only occasionally do deep dives.
edit: fixed an error, but also adding: no, i exclusively use kagi now on all my devices. give it a test run, it is dramatically different from ddg and googhell
The update I’ve been waiting for to keep on exploring in NG8
Enjoy your echo chamber.
Irony. She sounds kind of similar to how Manchin and Smyrna are to the Democrats.
“Gore rushed to share the news with the hard-liners who had encouraged her to run for the seat. She expected them to be as relieved and excited as she had been. But she said they were indifferent, even dismissive, because “it didn’t fit the narrative that they were trying to push.””
Haha that is a great idea! Give the landmine kill a special animation just to make sure that the cheaters get the message or let them figure it out in time lol?
Heh, did you share that inventory technique on news.ycombinator? I could have sworn that I read a story there a team doing that.
I know exactly what you are talking about - I was digging into the modding of this one game and happened upon a cheater’s forum. Blew my mind that the first step was to completely gut your computer’s security lol. But at the same time, was enlightening to see that. Seems like some of the work has been moved to the Anti-Cheat systems, but I’m guessing that there must be large gaps in what the AC can actually do for you at the application level?
Well, please do share what you find!
You are on the right track w/ idealism vs materialism in psychology, at least. The question there arose from the brain: how do you rectify the mind/soul with the brain/body? Dualism apparently fails (the idea that there is a separate mind from the brain) which leaves only some form of monism. A sort of hybrid materialism-idealism seems to make the most sense, where consciousness is a property of the universe, like time or space, and different entities have differing consciousnesses. In that sort of a philosophy, when talking about the brain you are equally talking about the experience, just in different terms.
I suspect that in sociology that would be some sort of unified anarcho-marxism, if such a thing exists. The atomic theory of society seems to be the thing where they are working on unifying language. If society is fully atomized, asking whether a new society arises due to free choice or resource demands is like asking whether rivers rise due to rain or sewer overflow, if that makes sense?
