Have seen so many otherwise tame people go mask off fash because you can’t argue with logic (never mind the root cause of the logic in question)
I am seriously fucking terrified. I think philosophy might be dead thanks to pompous tech bros

I know a guy who I had to stop discussing politics with because he started doing the destiny debate streamer thing of pulling up wikipedia articles so he could “debate” me on subjects he knows nothing about. He also called it “doing quick non-biased research”.
He’s in his thirties.
Ew. I hate people who believe that wikipedia is the fountain of truth.
I love this webzone
Wikipedia can be useful but only really if you’re already tuned to interpreting the biases in the information given.
Wiki is best when it’s something too old for capitalists to give a shit. Like yes Wikipedia tell me more about bronze cauldron construction in ancient China. You still have to check the sources but it’s usually okay. The pages on things like language migration are usually okay too.
In a darker way way it’s really good on any topic the left and right largely agree on.
I have a coworker who thinks
was in charge of China during the Tiananman square protests. He did not believe me when i told him Mao had been dead for 13 years at that point. Just had to walk away.
Can’t be biased when you dont know the ideological splits of the topic.
