>Why provide any education at all then? As a society it is our responsibility to skill the next generation with the skills they need to operate in our society. I believe critical thinking skills is one of these required skills. There are several views on education. It used to be that you went to school/college to be educated, but lately it seems like the schools are just places where you get trained so that you can g…

I think we're mostly on the same page. > Personally, I don't think critical thinking skills can be taught in a school via a curriculum en-masse. It requires a personal approach tailored to each individual's needs based on their upbringing and cultural context. Upbringing and cultural context are certainly heavy influences. But it is totally possible to teach / develop critical thinking skills in students. Instead of…

I'll let you have the last word. Have a nice day :)

Speaking as a lurker, this seems basically like what people have been asking for for awhile now including here. I remember seeing numerous top comment chains over the last four years (and of course before that but not here) that all boiled down to very eloquent defenses of censoring fringe thinkers. Who knows, maybe in theory land there's no reason we can't have it both ways. But it seems to me that in the real world…

Dictatorship of the Proletariat is pretty famous...

Just watched the video, read the thread. Here are some thoughts. First of all, the video uploader is promoting a competitor to YouTube. This is not disclaimed clearly. The video goes over criticism to the CIA, which are fair enough. But it takes some things as axioms, for example, that only the US are interfering/meddling in the world. He presents it as "the US is the bad guy and the world would be fair without the C…

> that only the US are interfering/meddling in the world

They didn't claim that. You inferred it.

>Youtube's goals is not the same as the authors, why would they promote something that is not what they want to be?

Because YT doesn't come out and say "We don't want controversial content on our platform. We don't want to question the ruling order of the country from which we operate". If they did, it would be a bit more honest. I don't see why you seem to be defending their quasi-suppressive behavior.

you only have knowledge about CIA because they willingly declassify information after some time. KGB doesn't. people that talk suddenly get polonium in their tea or novichok on their door handles, and that's how they operate on UK's soil in freaking London, people in other places just disappear without a trace and investigation. as for what have they organized.. well, let's check the last couple year: USA presidency…

> you only have knowledge about CIA because they willingly declassify information after some time. Willingly declassify information? Ok this is hard troll teritory, I refuse to dig deeper.

The entire legacy of ashes book is compiled from such declassified documents.

I hope YouTube and other platforms for user content will be replaced by something decentralised eventually. I wonder if a decentralised media platform over something like bittorrent or IPFS is or will ever be technologically feasible.

The content hosting is feasible. The problem is search. If all the videos ever produced where captured in an IPFS hash somewhere...how do you find them?

Take a look at PeerTube. It's federated and they have a global search.

At first I suspected peoples world view was build on compound falsehoods. I couldn't help but pay attention to this concept. I had to rub my eyes a few times wondering if I was not simply seeing what I was hoping to find. At later age I was seeing the unquestioned bullshit all around me. Then came a stage where I repeatedly noticed my own subscriptions to nonsense and the erroneous mindset that one would logically bu…

Logic unfortunately tends to fail in the real world. Even seemingly concrete ideas like life and death get tricky when dealing with frozen sperm and viruses. Edge cases abound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimera_(genetics) People really want stuff like Bayesian statistics to work. But it’s also fails for similar reasons as it depends on accurately updating a model. The world is filled with models that are simple en…

I suppose the question is who should get to engineer the population? Traditionally governments did this job. This gets pretty draconian in some cases but until it does I don't need any committee of unelected faceless corporate directors dictating how I should think? Or do I?

Perhaps it isn't the right question. Say you have a bunch of people as raw resources. What should you make from those? I kinda like my people as-is but this seems a moving target.

Lol, first off you replied to a wrong thread. Secondly, get a proof reader for both your website & whoever manages this HN account. And lastly if you re-read what I wrote, I mention that the prices within a given plan are different than what the header of that plan suggests.

$48 -> the button says 'Get Access for $58' LOL

You removed the third pricing plan. Simply put you're just spam marketing a paid newsletter.

PS: Your post did get flagged by mods for spamming.
