>>146065 It's just dumb shit. Someone realized that Sargon of Akkad is a 9/11 truther by watching an oldish video and then it turned into Twitter drama and SoA entered damage control mode
Summa summarym, people who are fading into relevancy are trying to gain views and attention by targetting bigger youtubers and dig some random shit from their past anything from their past to appear relevant
>>146066 ive never seen damage control mitigate or even be ineffective towards damage i've only seen it make things substantially worse i'm not sayin it can't help but just that i don't have any experience with it as such i would really like to see it in action working effectively, but i guess talem was kind of right on that how would you really know if it helped or not you can't see what woulda happened if you didn't do anything
Yeah it generally just looks bad people only enter damage control when they actually did something wrong and want to minimize that instead of being truthful
Idea: for every picture of a dead veteran you post on memorial day, you must donate $1 to a veteran charity

How about instead of sponsoring an African child, you can sponsor an American veteran Yaknow, they need someone to talk to, a place to be for a little while, that kinda shit

>>146210 what do you think of chomsky anyway i know he did good in progressing geopolitical discussion i feel like it was such aw // a waste for him to shed linguistics though i mean that's my jam claude shannon, chomsky there was good shit i don't really understand geopolitics enough to gauge i guess, but i feel like a few things on his thoughts of china and america just rub me the wrong way he said that america's army is leading the way in cybersecurity i think that's just flat wrong but as a linguist i really love him so it's hard to reconcile things like this
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>146211 chomsky is a hack with an inferiority complex that dedicated inordinate amounts of time towards nitpicking behavioral principles and sought to completely eliminate ideas like conditioning because they weren't cognitive enough i'm pretty sure he did it because he hated skinner saying that verbal behavior was all learned through conditioning skinner admitted that his theory does not account for all of verbal behavior and chomsky was like HAHA THAT'S BECAUSE BEHAVIORISM A SHIT and was a total faggot about it
>>146212 i enjoy listening to him even though i don't agree with him back on a road trip a long time ago i showed him to my dad and my dad really liked him and i'm like "i only was listening to this to probe my own thoughts he's kind of wrong here i think"
i do think behaviorism a shit though
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
skinner's behaviorism was retarded because it was so extremely but you cannot deny that conditioning exists because it's easily observable it's something that even single-celled organisms do
anyone who denies learning through conditioning is probably brain problems
Anno
>>146198 Is it time to properly become Blue again?
>>146214 i agree that it's a thing and i don't doubt that and i actually respect skinner a ton but what i'm actually saying is that behaviorism's biggest contribution was mostly a stepping stone for better ideas to probe further itself, it is kind of broad and weak i think and it's effectiveness has a tail end on the other side of the spectrum of effects i think
>>146210 It's thundering outside and the distant sky is dark and stormy. But around my house it's sunny outside.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
>>146216 i'm not sure i agree behaviorism's biggest contribution is probably the behavioral treatments for various disorders that are out there behaviorism has contributed so much for example, without behavioral techniques, autism wouldn't be treatable at all
social skills training, anger management, anxiety treatments like exposure and flooding, all of those are the consequence of the contributions that behaviorism made
moreover, behaviorism turned psychology from philosophy into science which is pretty much why it exists in a way that it can actually help people
why do i even bother choosing image, there's not really a point and i've only stolen it from someone else >>146219 I think you're right on most of these points and I wish I could transpose myself to be able to speak to this but i can't we're about nine years away from shared thoughtspace, and probably 23-ish years before it's a commonplace i wish we had that together because your laterality could be really useful to me
>>146221 just think about it dude things like compassion are an artificial substrate (see artificial particles, this aint me being crazy) for the awareness to be able to conceive another's condition at the moment of thought conception it's a human skill because of our prefrontal cortex and high executive function imagine if every thought you had was met with compassion and consideration, and tha // that the coutnerargument was weighted equally and that the conclusion was not only unanimous, but a shared realization it's more powerful than any artificial intelligence is producing it's cognitive shared intelligence you don't even understand because you're stuck on the 1940s where skinner was USEFUL maybe we should take a skinner roadtrip instead of a 90s roadtrip and --
i generally understand the realm you're speaking to when you counter-argue, but it's not one i can communicate with myself i think we could be good thought partners kirara

Anno
>>146504 it's not proper English you're bastardizing the language for no reason stop
Maria
the term best doesn't have degrees of freedom. It's either the best or it's not. There is no least best
>>146504 That's still part of a subset called the best of the wider set
FormerRei@mobile
>>146508 It's not a proper subset. Because it is the same as the set of all anime.
FormerRei@mobile
Here's an example that I think will illustrate it better for you. If we were to take an unordered set of all anime, and were to organize it such that its place in the set corresponds to how good the anime is, err take each anime and organize them. Anyways the most good anime (absolute best) would be in the spot in the ordered set corresponfing to the absolute most good anime, and the one that is the second best woukd be right behind it and so on and so forth eventualky we woukd get to a point where there is an anime that is less good than literally every other anime and there woukd be no anime less goid thsn it because it is the absolute worst anime, since it is less than every other anime including the absolute best, the second absokute best and so forth it is the least best.
Although if wwe strictly define a cut off point on anime quality numericalky such that any anime better (in anime quality units) a than a certain number is amongst the best your argument woukd have merit.
Anno
>>146510 To argue your autism with autism, this strictly assumes that "best" is synonymous with its quality of goodness, and not that after a certain point as we work down the ranks, it stops being the best since its quality of goodness is no longer sufficient.
Well I figure most people with common sense work that way. So what was your point in the first place.
FormerRei@mobile
>>146516 That saying something is amongst the best is nebulous. Rather not saying its amongst the best one hundred or some number.
Anno
Well I'm sorry to break it to you, but pretty much all spoken and written language is nebulous to a degree.
Also, like I said, and you even deigned to understand, pretty much everyone can understand, when told something is "of the best", means of a certain group with a bottom cut-off point. Just because that cut-off point is not strictly defined, does not mean it doesn't exist.
FormerRei@mobile
>>146518 Yeah, but there are quite a few (as in a large number over a billion) phrases in English that are less nebulous than that one.
