It’s never “we need a diversity of opinion so I’ll appoint a leftist” when it’s time to demonstrate open mindedness.

Do you think the GOP of Donald Trump is seeking “open-mindedness.” Do you think they practice open-mindedness in any way. What are you talking about

This culture of predation disgused as sexual open-mindedness is painfully familiar: Richard Stallman's "pleasure cards," Eric Raymond's open marriage that included propositioning colleagues, etc. As with everything else, the SV/VC/AI crowd has reinvented sexual harassment from first principles.
The bizarre culture that’s sprung up around Silicon Valley AI companies - which overlaps hugely with rationalist and effective altruist circles - appears to be seriously pressuring some women into attending sex parties for the sake of networking.
This is, needless to say, horrifying.

The purpose of SlutCon is to help ease men who are scared of approaching women, and for women who simply enjoy flirting to be in an environment where that happens a lot, since there's generally a dearth of that
At the same time, many - probably most! - women do Not want to be flirted with or propositioned by men they don't know. When a small scene only has a handful of large, well-known events, each one has disproportionate impact on everybody's ideas of acceptable behavior among other members of their milieu.
Attending the same events = specific shared context. Means
you're somewhat on the same page.
I suspect that the men who publicly raised concerns about SlutCon's impact on the scene are being megaphones for private objections and distresses they've heard from women in the scene who would NOT be comfortable at an event like that, but who don't voice it publicly because they suspect they'd suffer socially for doing so. That going to SlutCon to be flirted with gives women social cachet, and squirming at the idea means you're [not cool, can't get with the program, are probably a wokescold or a prude etc etc other pejoratives] and therefore, that you'll be excluded or held at a distance
Now, if this scene were purely a social scene, that'd be perfectly fine. Don't go to parties that don't suit you!! The issue arises because it's NOT purely a social scene. This scene is inarguably tied up with Al safety, research, and the SF tech scene in general.
When consistently being invited to the right parties is professionally advantageous, and when SlutCon itself **is** going to be an excellent networking opportunity for people in those fields, it's not neutral that {sexual proclivities} are the filtering mechanism that determines who's in the room. It means that promiscuity & forwardness is explicitly professionally advantageous.
And, if the norms of SlutCon influence the norms of that milieu outside of the e…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qiknc4t5rq7yngvz7g4aezq7/bafkreibofbhecabcfimcooqfmhfkw5ycfc2adnfedemupo7aihs5fb7voy)

“Willing to consider viewpoints even if they don’t conform to the norm” is open-mindedness. “Compelled to take a contrary viewpoint without respect to merit” is a personality disorder.

Also downright strange when one of the polled questions, are you in favor of gay marriage, itself, imo, reflects open mindedness and a desire for sexual and lifestyle pluralism. Dems are like, less open minded about being open minded, you know? In other words, they are less authoritarian.

Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity.
Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide."

I love the first episode where you can tell Sisko hates the absolute fuck out of Picard for killing his wife while Borgified and I think it struck such a clear note about what DS9 would be: it would embrace the open mindedness and dream of utopia while also showing the damage of actual life
In 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" made a Black man the star of a major sci-fi franchise and his character was like the Platonic ideal of a loving father, a great cook, a man who uplifted others, who was kind and tolerant but MILITANTLY so, and who also had flaws like any other human. Hail Sisko

I guess this is an unpopular opinion here but you want conservatives and moderates on bluesky not for “intellectual diversity” or “open mindedness” or whatever but because anything that diminishes the influence of a platform owned by Musk is good, block them if you like

3. In fact, open-mindedness is arguably the keystone value that permits the others to persist. But it’s impossible to be loyal to the principle of open-mindedness AND loyal to particular figures and factions, and the policies they champion. No one is perfect; no one gets everything right.

I set out to provoke and then when people are provoked I say why are you provoked? People should not be provoked by people provoking. That is what open-mindedness means. Also if you are not provoked it’s because you are not being open minded because I wanted you to be provoked. DO BETTER.

Support for RFK Jr equates fruitcake lunacy with open-mindedness, blindness to hard fact with far-sightedness, rejection of the scientific method with enlightenment. He is easily the most dangerous nominee of a deadly bunch of weirdo sycophants and lethal suckups to Donald Trump.
