  • My perspective is that someone’s opinion is to be heard even if they have no expertise in a field. I am not saying their opinion should be more valued than one of an expert’s, but i am not going to criticise or disregard them completely just because their field is something else.

    What I am saying is we might simply miss out on some things if not for an opinion from someone in a different field. Even if that opinion is insane 90%, it might give us a push in a direction we haven’t considered before. A biologist, a chemist, a physicist can look at a table and say different things about said table that hold true, without having an expertise in making tables.


  • Okay but you can probably ask someone that is not a biologist to learn about certain aspects of the brain and how it works. While you can’t ask a plumber how the brain works for example, you can probably get his perspective on things related to blood flow (to some extent). Maybe you ask a chemist about certain chemicals in the brain and so on.

    It might not be the best idea however to claim as a plumber that consciousmess is a series of pipes, but it’s fine to give a view of something through a different lens.

    Hell, neither me or you are experts in any of this, or experts in something to do with debating scientists or socials in gneeral, but here we are giving perspectives anyway.



  • Literally the beginning of the article makes it clear Canada is refering to “certain states” and it’s repeated through the entire article. You just came here to crack a joke in poor taste and didn’t even bother reading the article lol.

    LGBTQ+ citizens are at risk when traveling to the US due to numerous discriminatory laws passed at state level, the Canadian government has warned.

    “Some states have enacted laws and policies that may affect 2SLGBTQI+ persons. Check relevant state and local laws,” the government’s website reads.

    Also as someone from outside the U.S., I’d understand it even if the advising was country-wide and not state specific. But it isn’t.
