In my opinion, Daniel Dennett's quote, "There is no polite way to suggest to someone that they have devoted their life to a folly," is highly relevant to this situation, and I respectfully disagree with your viewpoint.

I came across a comment that resonated with me and seems relevant in this context, so I saved it. It says: "The arc of communism is long and it leans towards oppressing the fuck out of people. It’s a tendency of all governmental system

Search for "All Things Re-Considered" on YouTube. You are not alone. That whole channel is about NPR collectively losing its mind.

I am sorry, I actually, genuinely, struggle to understand what point you are making here. Can you clarify that, please?

".. and we can easily tell who is good and who is bad" - is the unsaid part of that sentiment, and the reason why it doesn't really work. "Sex work" used to be called prostitution and considered morally bad by most

I've found that the code it produces is on par with what a mid-level developer could come up with if they were working with you, but the difference is that it generates the code in seconds rather than minutes. While you still need to k

I believe you've nailed it with this one. There's a TON of coping going on from folks. I get why people feel that way, but to me, it's kinda like plugging your ears and yelling, "La la la, I can't hear you!" &q

I pay $20 for ChatGPT which is WAY more useful to me than Kagi. Hell, I pay half of that for Office subscription which I use even more. There is no way I can justify paying $25 for a search engine. And I am a professional too, just one who

I think the best summary of this thread is you addressing me using another "problematic" word "dude" that made it into multiple of the "forbidden words" lists.

It it bizarre? If I told you that your use of the word "most" is racists, would you agree and stop using it? What if I told you that your use of the word "things" is racist? Obviously my overreaction to those words is my

The problems like "inequality" did not happen because we had equality. They arose because we had discrimination. Many of the same people who rail against guidelines that encourage more neutral language also don't agree that &

Spaced repetition is particularly effective when it comes to memorizing a large volume of information quickly and retaining it for the long term. This is applicable to a wide range of subjects, including history (facts and dates), physics (

That's precisely my point. There should be a dedicated subject called "Effective Learning" or something similar, where students are equipped with the necessary tools to continue learning at a higher level after leaving school

Pretty much this. Essentially, the bottom two tiers serve as the fundamental basis that ought to be robust and sturdy, but frequently end up being the place where students' academic progress comes to a halt.

I really hope you're correct. It feels a lot like the debate between phonics and whole language to me, where how we teach makes it difficult for the average student to learn. People here are discussing Bloom's Taxonomy and higher

In my opinion, one of the most significant failures of modern education is the lack of emphasis on spaced repetition. It's really a shame that while we have lessons on a wide range of topics, including the latest social justice causes,
