In case you can’t tell, I’m passionate about rationality and critical thinking.
However, I still appreciate a freshly-baked π.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 2 weeks ago:
Did you read archive link with the full text? It talks about how the culture of 4chan started and then spread out across other social media platforms. Other sites weren’t always as toxic as they are today, yet 4chan began rotting much earlier on. The problem is that the rot, which originated on 4chan, has become mainstream. That’s why we see this shit everywhere now.
- Comment on Teachers warn AI is impacting students' critical thinking 1 month ago:
Then when you factor in society’s approach to children who do think critically, it gets even worse. Kids in school are encouraged to stay silent and accept what they’re told. A kid who openly questions something a teacher says is liable to get into trouble, both officially by the teacher, and socially by their peers who can’t yet grasp the concept of an authority figure being wrong.
Teachers can share false information all they want, and if a student dares to call out an urban myth, the student can be sent away to the principal’s office. Now the teacher can continue spouting whatever non-fact-checked nonsense they like, the rest of the kids are discouraged from speaking out if they recognize something false, and the critical thinker is labeled a trouble-maker both by the administration and by classmates. It’s an authoritarian hat trick that keeps a lot of kids in line.

It reeks because they “leave their mark” just like an unneutered cat.
