In the past when people created arbitrary unquantifiable categories and then proceeded to put people in them based off of unempirical/irrational voodoo it was called superstition (ex. Astrology). Involve a computer in your rituals and

Do you have any to back up your claims? Everyone here (myself included) is just arguing by anecdote.

Has introducing students to a programmable computer dedicated to math improved math education? Yes, yes it has. Writing a program to automate certain computations certainly helps your understanding better than performing said computations b

Most of SBC's "comedy" would itself be considered hate-speech if they weren't targetting socially undesirable groups and other easy targets.
