    “The 2016 Christian Science Monitor article “The Source Code of Political Power”, by Simon DeDeo of Indiana University, used the debate as one example of how Wikipedia is an evolving system of ideas and found comparison to the Talmud.”

    Astounding. I, for one, am in favour of Wikipedia as a new religion.




  • Paying the subscription for The Great Courses is absolutely insane value if its something you use regularly. Its not a credit system like Audible, its literally unlimited streaming of university level courses for 20$ a month (or like 12$ if you pay annually). The individual courses can cost upwards of 100$ so even if you only take one course every two months you still haven’t lost money.

    It’s infinite learning, i cant shill hard enough.

    A PhD wouldn’t know anything about science, so its pretty accurate really :/

    Edit: It’s the internet so naturally im being downvoted for learning but after looking it up, I was wrong. The PhD does stand for philosophy doctorate, but no longer refers specifically to the feild of philosophy as it once did. Apologies to anyone offended.




  • Something that really bothered me about the original Reddit PCM before i left was that people on the LibRight side were always construed as these apathetic capitalists who accept everyone and get the last laugh by selling to both sides. But i never found that to be even close to the reality. Any genuine libertarian i ever met was poor, in debt, and usually had deeply rooted biases about sex and race. A far cry from “how do i monotze this”.
