Ask HN: After Slate Star Codex, where are the nuanced discussions?
I&#x27;m not sure I can phrase this in a sufficiently nuanced manner, but .. how much of this nuance is achieved by having discussions about issues which have real life-or-death impacts on people but without having any of those people inconveniently present? You can have a discussion about racism among white people, a discussion about trans people with no trans people present, a discussion about accessibility with no disabled people involved; and so on. It <i>sounds</i> nuanced but only because it&#x27;s an academic exercise to those involved, not something with real impact on their lives.<p>The slogan &quot;nothing about us without us&quot; has been used a lot for this recently, but it has a much older history: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nothing_About_Us_Without_Us" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Nothing_About_Us_Without_Us</a>
