Do you think those working at ChatGPT have ever wondered how they are contributing to dismantling democracy and ensuring nothing is true by now? The ultimate technological postmodernism.

That's fair, but... What's the alternative? Obviously someone's going to have better academic performance if you have tutors, there's no way around. Still, if you have good academic performance - you have it. American sy

And a side note from me as a Pole - online I see many Americans speaking about how cruel Gaokao is, but... It's America that's outlier. I had the same style of exam in Poland to get to uni, and it's the same in the entire EU,

Ehh, even in EU context I'm familiar with knowing ADHD meds by that name. That was the least consequential point of their post.

I wonder what one agenda in posting that right now would be, ehh? And to think Americans used to take pride in being nation of freedom.

Anti-LGBT zones in Poland were not officially introduced via state law. Neither were out bishops speaking about rainbow disease and calling us all ideology, not people. You are privileged if you can afford to only rely on official sources.

I know, not disagreeing with you on that. I felt though it's important to add that too though.

How does this differ from Russia invading Ukraine? We have to wake up to the world where USA no longer cares about ideals like liberal democracy or allies, but is a warmongering corporatist autocracy.

At least in Poland, the societal attitude for having a child when you're poor is that you're "stupid" for doing so and a burden for society. You can't win either way...

I can tell you something scarier. My specialisation was databases there. ... Do not worry, I do not work with databases in professional life as my main aspect. But I was not given a comprehensive education, and not even once there was a foc

Is this a common thing to have at university? I'm from one of top universities in Poland; our database courses never included anything more than basic SQL where cursors were the absolute end. Even at Masters.

I think what you wanted to do is to rant.

by StefanBatory 11mo ago
That's their goal. Nothing's true anymore, everything's permitted... And at one point they'll get you to a point where you are unable to tell what's true or false. So you stop caring. And they win; your apathy is wh

I can form my own opinion on things I know about. If I don't, then it's natural that I will defer to those who I believe know better. Learning without thinking is useless but thinking without learning is dangerous.

Because to the vast majority of people doing their own research involves reading random pages on Facebook and consuming fakes. I am sorry but that's how it goes and that's how I see it in my country. Self proclaimed free-thinkers

Back in the days I've heard it's why delve is so popular; as it's common in Nigerian English. I learned it from MtG and I do believe it's a very cool word and I hate that I can't use it without people raising their

True now. At the same time, as a nonnative speaker of English, this is literally how we were taught to write eye-catching articles and phrases. :P A lot of formulaic writing is what we were taught to do, especially with more formal things.

I genuinely can't tell whether you are serious or trolling. Please tell me more about how Europe is socialist. Or what does that even mean to you. Is socialism when state exists? You are not first American to say that, and every time i

Is Jacobin a reliable source? As far as I know, while I wouldn't call it a rag, it is very ideological to the point you'd be better very careful taking anything from it for granted. It is interesting though, that's true too.
