  • Heat is electromagnetic radiation - photons, sound is mechanical displacement - phonons.

    They mostly propagate the same due to being waves, in most other respects they are very different.

    Heat convection is an entirely separate process where heat radiation is aided by the movement of the surrounding medium. Where it would otherwise heat up it’s environment, convection keeps the environment from heating up. Compare coffee in a thermos (very little convection) to a cup you’re blowing on (significant convection); more air movement - more cooling.

    Also, destructive interference does not at all work like that.

    Maybe a more useful analogy could be that waves have like walking animations, where in part of the animation they go up, and in another part they go down. Destructive interference happens when a wave in its’ “up” phase crosses a wave in it’s “down”, meaning the resulting movement looks like nothing. The waves don’t however interact in any way, and will continue on their way and on their own animation cycles.

    The shifting and heating parts are technically true but require very specific circumstances, enough so that I’m more prone to believe it’s another misunderstanding of the physics behind this. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.






  • I understand that this information is against your internal narrative, but a quick look at data for 2021 shows:

    One in two women and one in five men felt unsafe walking alone after dark in a busy public place.

    And data from 2022 shows 45% for the same measure.

    As for harassment:

    2022 - 55% of women 16-34 felt harassed

    2021 - Three out of five, 60% felt harassed during the year.

    Twice as many women reported being harassed as men, and several reported changing their behaviour because of harassment.

    This is also echoed in international studies over multiple cultures. Women are much more often harassed than men, almost exclusively by men, and have more limited freedoms, expressions and rights than men.

    This is not controversial, it is well established in study after study, there is an actual right answer to this, and it’s not the one you’re proposing.

    How is it that you keep ignoring data when faced with it, and instead of presenting supportive data resort to arguing feelings and whataboutisms?

    To be fair, you started moving the goalposts by invoking special privilege/motivation for misaddressing people.

    But to answer why I would be rude to christians for misnaming me, is because in my culture it is rude to misname people, and even more so when they’ve offered a good natured correction.

    If you say you’re William, and I call you Shirley, would you defend my right to call you Shirley?

    And why would it be different if The Almighty Bob said to surely call you Shirley?




  • Consent.

    You might be fine with having erotic materials made of your likeness, and maybe even of your partners, parents, and children. But shouldn’t they have right not to be objectified as wank material?

    I partly agree with you though, it’s interesting that making an image is so much more troubling than having a fantasy of them. My thinking is that it is external, real, and thus more permanent even if it wouldn’t be saved, lost, hacked, sold, used for defamation and/or just shared.
