I agree. I am currently reading the classic "Manufacturing Consent" and I find it a great critique of the mainstream media in such a way that can be emulated on a personal level. I like that it shows how to be critical of mainstre

It is accurate. Reread what I've said. "It's a fairly accurate portrayal of the national discourse and the court of public opinion," to paraphrase When was the last time you found yourself questioning capitalism in the U

As an American living in Europe, it's actually a fairly accurate one. The American greater public is generally much narrower than in Europe, in particular due to Europe's history with Communism and the various degrees of strength

I also wanted to learn about the Scottish destiny stone after watching an episode of 10 Minute History and every single YouTube result was one about conspiracies, quasi-religious mysticism, and a very bait-and-switch religious film masquera

Mine is a genuine reply. The fact you think not is very hurtful. Not every single thing people vouch for is meant to be taken to a philosophical extreme and evaluated at boundary conditions to check for contradictions. I don't view i

The hole in your argument is that it is trying to generalize my opinion as if it were some sort of Kantian categorical imperative, to then twist my words to mean an extreme form of what I am proposing: that everyone must have their extreme

Here is a concrete thought experiment you can try at home: simply use the opposite pronoun that would be applicable. Watch people's reactions to your incorrect usage. Feel the power and wrath of individuals collectively trying to corre

I am wrapping up The Righteous Mind and while I think there are a lot of intuitive ideas presented in the book, I have a lot of problems with Haidt's arguments, things he isn't addressing, and his approach to the field in general.

Another concrete suggestion: read books you know you'll disagree with. It's really really hard, but great at honing critical thinking skills and forces one's self to acknowledge when the author has made a good point, and then

I read the article. I wasn't clear in my original post. The issue isn't the ablation of the containment wall and replacing the wall, the issue is how to properly manage the plasma as the containment impurities disperse throughout

Seems like partially a Dennis Whyte puff piece. The problem all tokomaks have is that ELMs exist and will remove the inner lining of the containment unit over time, and current cutting edge research is on how a plasma will react with specif

Wow, what a throwback. I played Star Sonata, Astro Empires, and Pardus in the mid-2000's timeframe. And Eve Online later in early 2010's. Only Pardus and Eve stuck with me because of the persistent sandboxes. They're the only

Given the kinds of communities that have flocked to the fediverse the past year, moderation tools have always been a top priority of apps adopting ActivityPub. Features have been killed due to the potential for abuse, too.

My wife knows how to tell a story and use just a few curse words, if the company is right, to really deliver an impactful, humanizing, and relatable event. It's part of why I love her. Different strokes for different folks.

Youre being incredibly unfair: That's not at all what I said, and your post I responded to also made no claim along these lines. You're misrepresenting my and your past statements. What we were talking about is ending forced arbit
