"It's all bullshit"
the critique doesn't have to be true or false.
Will such a thing ever catch on? I think it's a pretty big jump from even wearing such stuff
to actually implanting it in your body
I think it won't take
not as things currently stand at least
would any of you accede to such a device if let's say you were sure there was nothing shifty going on?
A few months ago I saw a common core question (language arts) asking students to write a paragraph supporting a new microchip implant. I think it may be more palatable in the future as it's already being normalized now.
Looking for the article now.
Really? Fascinating
I believe it was a part of the US Common Core curriculum. I could be mistaken though.
I can't find anything googling offhand, where did you encounter it?
I'll take your word for it but I'm curious
Ill find it - I'm equally curious where I saw it and the context.
Meme magic
I'll paste a section as an example of where his worldview just falls apart, totally inconsistent
One worrying aspect is leftist r-strategists tend to have high creativity, perhaps as an outgrowth of an evolved drive to create and exploit alternative resource streams as a way of avoiding direct conflict. As a result leftists tend to operate in these fields, and exhibit some measure of competence.
So r-"strategists" tend to have higher creativity? Woudn't you expect higher creativity from K-selected populations that have to make do with limited resources or poor conditions?
this kind of incoherence pops up every time I see r/K stuff applied directly to liberal vs. conservative
Indeed
But would you say it works, loosely
That it's more true than not
no, I wouldn't, but I would say you can use it as a framework to understand other stuff
for example, the situation of black people in America and welfare
certainly you can make an argument that this is a population that is "r-selecting"
more false than not I would say
he has this certain tone
"pssst, hey guy, yeah, you there"
dark alley dude with secret tonic
Yeah
He's an asshole
@fallot Haven't got to the reference I mentioned earlier, but here is an example: Poems to Play with (in Class) Sample Unit of Study for Grades 3-5 suggests “Baby Ate a Microchip” by Neal Levin
It could be a figurative reference, but reference in a positive light just the same.
This is ubiquitous in larger city schools too. https://www.rt.com/usa/texas-school-id-hernandez-033/
