Sounds racist to say that black communities need access to white communities in order to create positive outcomes. Why can't the black communities stand on their own?
When someone presents all these negative outcomes for minority groups (education, poverty, incarceration, etc.) it's difficult to not see that in a racial light.
"Madison is one of the greatest places to live, just stay out of the black neighborhoods." - how are the people living in the white neighborhoods to be blamed for that?
I'm trying to understand the 'neutral principles' line of thinking here. Obviously, the situation with this app seems straightforward on the surface (the app is immoral, it violates human rights), but articulating the reality of the situation is complex and requires nuance. Say I don't want to argue from 'neutral principles' but I still want to give other people's value systems a fair trial? Then I would consider things like the intentions and outcomes, right? Maybe there's a good reason that women in Saudi Arabia have legal guardians?
Rather than having voice over and background music clashing at the same volume levels, the music level would decrease whenever the voice over signal is active.
Definitely interested in learning about marriage hacks to implement if the right woman ever comes into my life. I'd like to master the yin yang of balancing flow versus scalable marriage.
I definitely fall prey to this extreme type of thinking. I consider it a form of naive idealism – believing there is always one maximally correct solution. This is why solutions such as Soylent are so appealing to me. Perhaps the cause is simply a lack of in-depth knowledge and experience in the areas for which I'm seeking a perfect solution, or maybe it's related to being on the spectrum.

Exactly. This is why I stick to quality sources of content such as HackerNews and blog feeds of reputable, reliable thought leaders. Over-consumption only leads to cloudy, confused thoughts – I could fill my brain with trash from Reddit, but then I'd end up just another intellectual couch potato.
If I really feel the need to consume mindlessly, I prefer sources that I know are well curated, like Jason Kottke's blog [1] or sources that are crafted to get my mind back on track, like Zen Habits [2].
