Yes, I demonstrated that technological progress allows us to live our lives memorizing fewer words since they can be looked up so easily. But I wrote a substantive and original argument. Did you? Will it be even harder for you after ten years of letting machines do your writing and thinking for you?

People don't do everyday fucking math at the grocery store like they should because they don't have the wherewithal to pull out the calculator for all the everyday things. People fucking can use a calculator to do math, but they choose not to unless they're forced to. So the math just doesn't get done. Now imagine what will happen a generation down the road when it's not math that people have given up practicing, but general fucking thinking.

If you're looking for a site with more Fox News dipshits then go read the comments on the Fox News site. What do you want us to do about it if they're not here?

I quit Reddit when they killed third party apps, I quit Twitter when Musk bought it.

It's equally stupid that we put up with their rent seeking.

Reddit and Twitter are cesspools that I quit a long time ago, I've never been on TikTok, if the better content from those places gets reposted elsewhere (putting aside whether this qualifies) that has value.
