Phlegmish posted:The 1860's is around the time that impressionism became a big thing, paving the way for increasingly less representational forms of art - what we know as modern art collectively. By the 60's and 70's pop art and other forms of postmodern art were becoming a big thing. Lmao at giving PragerU any benefit of the doubt

It's not a benefit of the doubt situation and it's still LOL, but what Phlegmish posted is definitely what it is. It's a very common "conservative" argument about art, there are versions of it about music and writing etc.

The major turning point where artistic standards quit existing was dadaism around wwi anyway. And that's a good thing. As much as there are people that hate modern art you really cant effectively set rules. Soon as you do somebody, somewhere will find a way to color outside the lines. Yes a toilet can be art.

Regy Rusty posted:This might be the most angry a graph has made me in this thread I know that graph should elicit some kind of negative response but my brain just shuts off when it looks at it. My neurons just refuse to parse it. My brain just looks at it and goes "that sure is a graph alright. I refuse to attempt to understand what it means or what point it's trying to make."

OK so just to make sure I'm parsing this right... * Men have gone from ~85% to ~65% * Women have gone from ~32% to ~55% Is that right? And the graph makes it look like women have overtaken men. This is some devious poo poo. These FRED people seem to love doing this. This one is actually not quite as bad, because it makes a point of how these two statistics are opposite, and it would look terrible if you used the same scale on both lines:  Though I can't help thinking that would have looked better as two separate graphs, shown above each other, or side by side.

IIRC FRED is just a database that lets people auto generate graphs of economic data. If you ask for two things plotted on the same graph, it will always do the dual axis thing. No deviousness, just a failure to check if both things are graphed in the same units.

Ah, yeah, you can just mash any old data together, but you gotta find the fun correlations unlike my utter lack of any

I think I posted that one a while ago. I still want to know what the purple areas represent. Nega-birds? Also those species counts are off by a huge factor. There are at maybe 20 species of perching birds that I see on a daily basis here in SoCal.

Somehow I overlooked that despite having seen the image before Also, there's a light green that's not represented on the legend (along with the purple and light blue) and the last two legend ranges overlap... How did this get published in any context other than "what's wrong with this map/what not to do"?

I think because the lines still match up to what you'd expect from South America - the thin area between the west coast and the Andes, the southeast being barren, the north being lush. Wow. This could be some kind of attention test.

This could be some kind of attention test. Attention test would explain why it’s so bad on so many levels. It’s deliberately designed for you to focus on the confusing nature of the chart so much that you don’t even notice that the map itself is just wrong. It’s kind of like the running gag John Oliver does on Last Week Tonight when he talks about a country in South America and deliberately puts up an image of a different country, later pointing out how nobody noticed.

Man this is fantastic on so many levels. Sure, "capitalists" are shown as the IQ big-brains, but *kisses fingers* fascists being on the same spectrum as communists, that's a spicy capitalist graph.

One should also bear in mind that IQ is measured in a bell curve already. So they literally just replaced the numbers with political positions. It's like the laziest political cartoon in the world.
