This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I mean are you in support of the original comment? Because just recognizing a phenomena is emergent doesn't mean it has suddenly created atoms of itself. It still does not physically exist.
No, my point is it does. Things exist that are not atoms. Where this idea that if something exists there must be "atom" of it came from? There's no such thing as "atom of temperature", yet temperature is a very material thing. It is a characteristic of the complex system (which is composed of atoms), but by itself it's does not have "atoms of itself". Is wind a physical, material thing? Of course it is. Is there "atom of wind"? Of course not. There's an atom of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and so on - but they are not "wind". Yet wind very much "physically exists". It exists as combination of other physical things - but so are atoms, so if you accept atoms physically exist, even though they are just an arrangement of other physical entities, then wind is no less existent. Ignoring the structure and dynamic arrangement is insanely misguided - not only you'd miss the whole thing called "life", even the most basic phenomena would be completely in-expressible in this framework. In fact, as I mentioned, understanding atoms themselves would not be possible without understanding not only their parts but their structure and dynamics and phenomena emerging from those.
