@thatguyoverthere @Moon the absolutism is the bullshit. people probably eat too much meat, but eating sone meat is a necessity if you want do agriculture on soil and in climates where only grass grows without using loads of artificial fertilizer.

> So many people are very upset that there was no bloodbath yesterday, a good opportunity for self-reflection, perhaps

@Moon this is my pet peeve! ecotards flying around the globe for bullshit but my car needs to go.

@c_merriweather @lucifargundam well, floppies ought to be floppy.

It's almost like people made books as references so they didn't have to remember endless amounts of mostly useless crap.
public schooling is actually the root of all modern evils
1. humans are not born with different sizes of SSD for memory, but have a flexible recall facility that can be optimized for type, detail, and length of recall of information. I can tell you everything about various programming languages but please don't ask me about people's birthdays.
2. but that facility still varies in capability. If you don't have much of it, then being asked to remember every phone number in the phone book may leave you unable to remember much else.
3. this variance in capability is invisible. Does the child have a bad memory or does the child just care much more about remembering details about his favorite MMO? You can't tell how much you're pushing people to remember something, or what it's costing them to try to remember it
4. schooling forces people to remember a host of random details for a short period of time and then after a test purge those memories as never relevant ever again. For some this is a trivial task. I'd finish memory-based tests in minuets and then wonder wtf everyone else was still sitting there for. Why are you wracking your brain about question #5? If you don't remember it immediately, what's going to change in five minutes? For those people still sitting down, this task is so hard that it warps their memory, making it only good for purge-after-the-test very short term recall.
Schooling breaks your brain and leaves you especially susceptible to propaganda, where you just never remember that last month's hype (TWO THOUSAND TANKS) has not come to anything. Where even heelturns like "Wagner freedom fighters -> Wagner terrorists" do not strike you as odd, because you don't remember the contradiction. The test is only going to be on the current facts, anyway!
