- mistrial9 3y ago.. the person responding merged the thoughts ("the company spokesperson said A" + "screenshots show company doing B" ) + (the reason the company did that is $SYSTEM + the reason the spokesporson said that is $SYSTEM) this is actually a known problem in cognitive psych; the person writing did not sufficiently break up the parts. An incomplete thought chain or lazy thinking results in this kind of merged result all the time. Buddhist psychology for one, has a lot to say about the nature of this kind of lack of clarity in general.
- asu_thomas 3y agoNobody ascribed a cause to anything. My only point is that it's reality, not imagination. People just making shit up is also a known problem in cognitive psychology. Very interesting stuff.

- mistrial9 3y ago>> It's literally just plain capitalism in regular reality. > Nobody ascribed a cause to anything. .... those two statements contradict directly... followed by scatology..
- Sirizarry 3y agoI think you’re really misunderstanding the context in which the word dystopian is used here. It’s just a negative adjective. No one is saying this is imagination.
- hgsgm 3y agoThe College Board is a financial scam (https://www.therealcollegeboard.org/ https://www.therealcollegeboard.org/) but arguably its flaws aren't technically Capitalist. Facebook and TikTok are, though. There's no reason for a school test-taking website to partner with Facebook and TikTok accept because these companies are providing some service (of dubious value, like College Board itself!) to drive their own profit. https://www.therealcollegeboard.org/ https://www.therealcollegeboard.org/
- asu_thomas 3y agoThe College Board is a perfectly legal enterprise, and how could you know their reasons for how they do things? Besides, they are a "not-for-profit" organization so we know for a fact that they don't want profit.
