[ワシントン ４日 ロイター] – In response to former US President Donald Trump’s vow to confront “anti-white sentiment,” his aides are formulating policy plans for his return to office, with a focus on eliminating racial discrimination and promoting diversity. The movement to eliminate various government and corporate programs is likely to accelerate.
Some influential aides have publicly said that policies meant to protect people of color in classrooms, workplaces and charities should be repurposed to protect the rights of white people as well.

Philosophers are studying a subreddit – The Post
The practical moral questions that emerge in the participatory forum “Am I the asshole?” they can help to capture aspects overlooked by classic abstract ethical dilemmas
One of the most popular and long-standing discussion forums on Reddit is called Am I the asshole? (“Am I the asshole?”) and has been around for over ten years. It is made up of users who tell personal facts, anonymously but in quite detail, to discuss the appropriateness of their behavior in particular circumstances. There are those he asks whether he is wrong to treat his daughter differently than he treats his spouse’s daughter, for example, and who he asks whether it is wrong to go to dinner alone with your mother for her birthday, without inviting your wife.
In a item shared in preprint format (which has yet to be submitted peer review) a group of researchers in philosophy and psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed just over 369 thousand questions described on Am I the asshole? and the related 11 million comments. To do this, it used artificial intelligence software which made it possible to identify a series of regularities in the topics discussed by users and to sort the dilemmas into different categories, extracting information deemed significant.
Regardless of the results of the study, the idea shared by the group is that the dilemmas proposed by users on Reddit are a useful tool for those involved in philosophy and moral psychology. In some respects, the team says, they are more useful than thought experiments known as “trolley dilemmas“(cart problem), studied and used in particular in the philosophical tradition analytical widespread in the English-speaking world. Unlike the abstract moral situations imagined in shopping cart dilemmas, those typically described on Reddit actually have the advantage of being able to happen to anyone in everyday life.
The American researcher Daniel Yudkin, one of the authors of the study, had conducted research with other colleagues on the social costs of not keeping a secret, published in January in the magazine Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. The research showed that the decision to reveal a secret is often judged negatively by other people, even when those same people believe that revealing it is the right thing to d
