Re. citrādvaita in late Yogācāra, I have been struggling for a while with the co-existence of a) Cognitions are ultimately non-dual (advaita), b) Cognitions are also variegated (citra) and c) Time does not ultimately exist. How can an and b be true is c is also true?

I'm of the view that as freedom of movement/choice of location is one of the most fundamental human rights, & the earth belongs to all of us equally, we all have the right to unrestricted immigration (& emigration).

Abstract Why is discrimination morally wrong, and how does political partisanship shape moral judgments of discrimination? Several theories locate the distinctive moral wrongness of discrimination in its disrespectfulness. However, such theories disagree on whether disrespect derives from the deliberation of the discriminating agent, or from the expressive content of the discriminatory act. In a preregistered vignette-based experiment (N = 1019), we tested the extent to which people are sensitive to deliberation and expressive content in their moral judgments of gender-based workplace discrimination, and whether this sensitivity is moderated by political partisanship. Results suggest that while all participants are sensitive to expressive disrespect, only Independents and Republicans are sensitive to the difference between high and low deliberation-based disrespect.

Is discrimination wrong because of what it expresses or how it’s deliberated? Bjørn Hallsson & @vikipedersen.bsky.social argue expressive disrespect drives moral judgment for everyone, while deliberation matters mainly for Independents & Republicans. More: buff.ly/o9ah6YE
