“Sonic Hedgehog killed my child” is a way better story than measles or leukemia. In terms of parents of dead children, those parents have it the best.

No, you don’t want to put narcissists in your cabinet if you’re a fascist dictator. Narcissists will covet your position and seek power for themselves. If you’re a fascist movement, you can afford to have one narcissist at the top, but everybody on the bottom has to be yes-men. You want the bulk of your movement to be white men who crave a powerful masculine figure to dominate them. You want submissives. That’s not where you’ll find 99% of narcissists. You’ll find 99% of narcissists on the left, saying that they’re entitled to more pay and fewer hours. You’ll find 99% of narcissists refusing to be dominated by other people and fighting for equality. You’ll find 99% of narcissists trying to make the world a better place.

Drag has been diagnosed with disorders that are just named after some guy, and it was boring. The kids who get told they have Sonic Hedgehog mutation are lucky. If all of our disorders had fun names, then it wouldn’t be taboo.

You should probably mention which regions this advice is limited to, to avoid confusing people from outside those regions who see your advice and misapply it.

Yes. Drag is also calling out the people who decided that voting for Harris is voting for genocide, but not voting at all means you get to be completely guilt free. Drag’s seeing a pretty heavy bias towards inaction there.

Imagine if voting were compulsory, but there was a box on the ballot that says “I express no preference between the candidates and ask that my vote be counted as nil”. You wouldn’t hear the same rhetoric from people in a country where the decision is framed that way. Which is kind of the entire point of the textbook chapter drag is reading today; the framing of a choice influences people’s decisions.

Being a body-donor can’t benifit you

This assumes that “you” are a pattern of neural impulses (or a soul) rather than a body. If you’re a body, then you getting to beat your heart in someone else’s chest is surely a benefit.

Drag agrees that people are minds, not bodies. But it’s interesting to hear this logic from a country where so many people argue that a woman is a uterus, not an identity.

Would you like to explain what mono-divinity is and how Coyote is different? Drag will listen.

Thank you!

Given that information, it would have been good for drag to mention Taoism.

Oh, you’re including when a culture is oppressed by others? Sorry, drag misunderstood.

Sentinelese.

So it’s a difference of language? Or are there other distinctions?

Thank you. Drag always struggles with those two. If you’d like to share any more knowledge, drag would eagerly listen.

You know, given that information, it would have made a lot of sense for drag to specify “tyranny” rather than general badness, put the Mayans in the “oppressive gods, oppressive society” category, and point out that Asia is home to plenty of tyranny despite the presence of Buddhism. It sure is a lucky thing that drag did all three of those things. Thanks for looking out.

Haudenosaunee.

Do you like this one better?

That’s probably why the Mayans did human sacrifice

Hmmmmm, drag isn’t sure. They kinda look like beer bottles ngl

All I wanna do
Is see you turn into
A giant woman

Yep. Bender becomes an NFT collection and sells it, then gets depressed because he doesn’t own his identity anymore. So he goes to Mexico to rediscover his roots. He meets his long lost family, and steals an algorithm from the aztec robot gods that can break prime factors in polynomial time, which he uses to steal his NFTs back.

Programmers (and people who watched the Futurama episode) are the only people who understand NFTs
