Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
That list (which isnāt properly sourced) seems to combine both high academic fields with non academic fields so I have no idea what this list is trying to prove even. (Also, see the fakeness of IQ and there is pressure for āsmartā people to go into stem etc etc). I wouldnāt base my argument on a quick google search which gives you information from a tabloid site. Wonder why he didnāt link to his source directly? More from this author: āWe met the smartest Hooters girl in the world who has a maths degree and wants to become a pilotā (The guy is now a researcher at āHope not Hateā (not saying that to mock the guy or the organization, just found it funny, do hope he feels a bit of āoh, I should have made different decisions a while back, wish I could delete thatā))
The ignorance about social science on display in that article is wild. He seems to think academia is pretty much a big think tank, which I suppose is in line with the extent of the rationalistsā intellectual curiosity.
On the IQ tier list, I like the guy responding to the comment mentioning āthe stats that you are citing hereā. Bro.
