You can use your own stylesheet override, if someone makes a stylesheet for the space theme I'll consider making it official. -

pick at least one for your mother
So why does a woman receiving some perceived benefit from motherhood trivialize that status or make them not care about their child? -
2016-11-27 at 6:14 PM UTC in I know this is a tired topic, but how the fuck are people religious.
Originally posted by antinatalism but in our nowadays digital society the amount of contributions that christianity could give amount to 0. FUCKING ZERO, U DIPSHIT. so u don't even have the excuse "well yo man religions are likely bullshit but at least think about muh contributions to our culture": the whole point is not that religions are bullshits, the point is that they're obsolete. it's the kurrent year, man, the only god that's worth to be worshipped is the kek
I can't tell if this is supposed to be satire or not. Do you really think we can't find examples of art or science that have been inspired by religious sentiment in the modern era? Do you not think there's value in the human communities organized around religion? -

Originally posted by greenplastic do you really think someone here can give you useful advice?
It doesn't seem beyond the realm of the possible. I wouldn't have been surprised if malice had some relevant links or books (you'd think someone with such an interest in neurogenesis and cognitive enhancement would have read up on the subject before) but it looks like that's not the case.
Besides, teaching people things seems like a pretty general life experience, surely there are people here who have been in a similar situation. -
2016-11-27 at 1:52 AM UTC in How to teach people things?I've been put in charge of a couple people at work, they need to learn a lot of things to be productive. There are people you can throw a load of material facts at and who will absorb it, then there's people who need to be actively educated as opposed to fed information. The folks I'm concerned about are in the latter group. I can spew trivia to an arbitrary level of detail at these people but I often feel like it's pretty ineffective as a teaching technique, they sometimes lack the context to absorb the details and sometimes I realize well after the fact I'm presenting something at the wrong level of abstraction. The particular situation pertains to programming, but my understanding of education as a discipline is exactly nil so I imagine more basic/general material will still be useful.
SO! Are there any good books on education for people who aren't career educators? Any general tips? I don't really want to dive into the state of the art on education research but on the other hand I'd like something better than "joe blow was an educator for 4 years, let him regale you with some anecdotes", preferably something that reflects a synthesis of what is a pretty large field for non-professionals.

2016-11-26 at 10:35 PM UTC in Critical thinking is a rare skill
Originally posted by greenplastic It's just an observation.
Observations are fine, "most people I interact with seem to have poor critical reasoning skills by metric X" would be something I'd have no grounds to argue with, but you've made a statement about "most people" without those qualifications. Do you think that difference constitutes "the smallest detail" here?Making the observation doesn't necessarily mean I even think that I'm smart. And yea, I realize I'm privileged compared to most of the world. But the context here is this website and the cultures we live in. I'm not getting any more handouts than anyone here. Jesus christ dude. I'm starting to realize why people hate arguing with me. I think I'm going to change my life.
The point here was really kind of secondary. I do think you're privileged but that doesn't discredit your position. I'm saying that your status as a high GPA student or as a recipient of unearned advantage is really irrelevant to your thesis, they don't change its truth value.
If you don't enjoy this activity, and don't have any other reason to continue to engage in it, then I suggest you stop. I'd like to think I maintain an open mind on the proposition that "most people have poor critical thinking skills" and indeed I've told you what you need to do to change my mind but you don't seem eager to go down that road. Frankly I'd bet against you changing your mind on the matter. I'm here because it's fun but you seem to be getting frustrated. If that's the case then there's really no reason for you to continue. -

My heart aches for the sorry son of a bitch who was your server. He probably left to go around back and finally shoot himself; after contemplating it for years a disgusting man-child reeking of piss making jokes about double teaming a fat 40-something goth was probably enough to seal the deal and make him realize this life wasn't worth living. -
