    Our series on religious accessories bans wraps up this week... but you may find that the final instalment (not counting the summary) is very different in tone from the rest of the series! https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/05/religious-accessories-bans-10-coercive-power/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    We're heading into the final stretch of this series. This week we'll touch on a few threads that have been left hanging for the rest of the series, starting with the issue of face-covering bans. https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-8-the-right-to-your-face/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    Definitely. I've been following Peterson's ascension for a while, and while I knew all about the UofT and Schiff stuff, all the Ralston stuff was news to me.

    The series on religious accessories bans continues this week by tackling the popular claim that religious accessories are "symbols of oppression". https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-6-symbols-of-oppression/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    The second major argument of religious accessories ban supporters is the "they're just advertisements" claim, that states - without evidence, of course - the supporter's opinion that religious accessories are nothing more than billboards to advertise or proselytize the wearer's faith. Let's see how that stands up to real evidence. https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-5-proselytizing-by-accessories/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    Two weeks ago I introduced a series on religious accessories bans, and last week was spent laying out some preamble (stuff to consider *before* considering a religious accessories ban). This week the real discussion starts, and it starts with a bang, calling out the lie that religious accessories bans are "secularism". https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-4-the-secularism-lie/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    RationalWiki is an excellent resource! But as with all things, do approach it cautiously - it does go a little too far in some places, and sometimes strays out of "rational" and into emotive.

    Last week I introduced a series on religious accessories bans, and laid out some groundwork. Today the actual arguments of the series start, kicking off with a discussion about fundamental rights. https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-2-infringing-rights/ !atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    In anticipation of the CAQ's Bill 21, for the past month I've been quietly putting together a series about religious accessories bans. Here's the series intro: https://www.canadianatheist.com/2019/04/religious-accessories-bans-intro/ atheism !secular !SecularHumanism

    It's not a matter of choosing between "the tech angle or the human angle". If these guys are not peddling vapourware, then they *MUST* solve the tech problems at some point. But those problems are *hard*; decentralized networks were designed that way from the ground up because people found that tacking that feature on later just doesn't work.

    I am not impressed with any group of people who ask for money while shrugging off the technical challenges they'll face.

    If they had a working proof-of-concept, then I would take them seriously. (All they've got now are videos of mockups that just look like Diaspora with a nice theme and auto-playing gifs.) If they showed some semblance of understanding about the technical challenges, and explained why existing networks can't work, then I would take them seriously. But all I see now is a "guys, this will be awesome; don't worry about how we'll actually make it work" marketing pitch.
