Whenever there's a "don't judge" statement, I always remember this post from Tyler The Creator.

Due to primal instincts, it's inevitable that we judge. So judge, but don't discriminate. Seems like a good system to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like that uses a loaded connotation of the word discriminate. That word really just means to differentiate things from each other or discern distinct things.

I think a better way to say it would be: “judge, but don’t pre-judge.”

As long as you’re actually judging evidence in front of you, great. If you’re making shortcuts to judgments using superficial cues, that’s where you run into trouble.

That's a good way of putting it.

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
