- miltonlostDon't forget tobacco companies lying about cancer and oil and gas companies hiding climate change research.
- DOGE were not "civil servants" in the slightest. And USAID tried to sabotage DOGE?? Your entire worldview is backwards. (Looking through your past posts and yiikes yeah)
- No, the Trump administration needs to not cut funding for science that disagrees with their worldview.
- It's not just the youth who are lazy and stupid and childish though. (you added in the youth portion.) Do you know who the American President is and how old he is and who then voted for him?
- This article can serve both her beat and also, this story in its specifics and that she/her editors chose to report it, self-congratulatory and also advertisements for Anthropic and WSJ itself. Both your statement and this blog can be in agreement.
- Anything that's an "extremely good business move" will most likely, in this day and age of late-stage capitalism and extreme enshittification, be negative for the consumer.
Good business moves can often be bad for humanity.
- I wonder what his take on the differences of IQ among races are. Bet it's also as "enlightening"
- Calling a dog a dog is not extreme. VOting for a fascist makes one a fascist.
- Defending misogyny via biology. Nice.
Who could have guessed a site composed nearly of techie guys would have problems identifying misogyny. This website is trash.
- Because you have Republicmas idiotically saying "Guns don't kill people; people do" and then don't do anything about the people or the guns. Conservative gun owners simply accept that people must die by guns in order for them to feel safe and make us all more vulnerable because of their irrational fears. They're babies with weapons.
- The fact that you still call the "founders" the "founders" as if they were a single unified person/entity with non-conflicting values shows me what kind of "originalist" jurisprudence you go for.
- > the courts now are being more clear now that this really is the case.
Which have been packed by Federalist ideologues for years. The "court" (as if its some one whole) isn't some nueatral 3rd party arbiter of the "law".
- I bet you also think Originalists are consistent in their applitcaiton of their methodology. lmao
- The defense of clearly authoritarian powergrabs is gross to see, but expected from so many on this site
- > Well, this is very interesting, because I'm a native English speaker that studied writing in university, and the deeper I got into the world of literature, the further I was pushed towards simpler language and shorter sentences. It's all Hemingway now, and if I spot an adverb or, lord forbid, a "proceeded to," I feel the pain in my bones.
I'm the complete opposite. Hemingway ruined writing styles (and I have a pet theory that his, and Plain English, short sentences also helped reduce literacy in the long run in a similar way TikTok ruins attention spans). I'm a 19th century reader at heart. Give me Melville, Eliot, Hawthorne, though keep your Dickens.
- > And you end up with terrible outcomes like collapsing literacy rates through the prevention of teaching phonics, which leads to parents opting out of public education entirely.
Did the teachers unions also cause you to make this leap in logic?
- Mathematics and scientific proof of negatives are different kinds of proofs.
- > To read and speak English?
And how are you, right now, communicating? You're writing in English. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, all written down, is its own subject that people aren't born knowing or can acquire like they can speak.
In addition, it's English Literature and Language in the same, so yes, about knowing partly a canon, but how how to interpret texts, both nonfictional and fictional and poetic.
> It just seems to me that the entire purpose of school is not clear.
I don't know how to explain to you why it's important to educate humanity.
