Hard to be intellectually curious when you're living in fear, and potentially in a future war torn country. I understand some reasoning for this mindset, but I'm glad you realize how dire this is an an attack on the very core systems that allow such curious discussion.
We have multiple university professors strongly considering fleeing to Canada as a small sample. It's pretty clear how such moves will affect the long term abilities for a site like this to operate.
- furyofantares 2y agoTo be clear I'm advocating that if someone is flagging this due to it not being intellectually interesting, that they reflect on whether that's actually true or if it's just that fear or anxiety are getting in the way. I certainly don't want all news on this topic to be here; there's plenty of places to get that. But we definitely could discuss it here in ways which aren't accessible many other places if we take on the rather difficult task of finding some curiosity about the what exactly is going on.
