By definition no proof of this can ever exist but I bet you a dollar that someone in prehistory was loving pissed at the development of abstract language because it allowed knowledge to be given without being earned, thus contributing to moral decay

"Fire hurts when you touch it" is an embodied fact and I believe that children who learn such facts without the physical experience of their own seared flesh are impoverished as a result

Everything else aside I think being able to actively engage with long form written media is a crucial skill bc the most deeply abstract or technical stuff can basically only be transmitted that way and you'll always need to hit the books/html walls o text to fill in gaps or deep dive, tho other stuff is great for introductory or supplemental

It's the end of history after all. Plus you'll never get a job as a computer toucher unless you can read a word doc, produce broken software in between watching episodes of My Hero Academia on your other monitor, and then strategically blame the document for your failures, and that's the difference between life and death in our society.

There's a fairly infamous anprim article that's just making GBS threads on symbolic thought, it's a fun read every once in a while. Easily the craziest thing I've read that wasn't just incoherent.The Oldest Man posted:I mean throughout history the primary means of transmitting abstract and technical skills and concepts has been orally from teacher to students, master to apprentice or mentor to mentee, but sure, uphold our rotting system that spends more time simultaneously vomiting and making GBS threads garbage to the tune of billions of useless words describing thousands of poorly designed studies and laughably empty position papers hashed and rehashed in an endless clout-chasing circlejerk as the only way to reproduce knowledge.

i say swears online posted:why was the artist not expecting a response it was obviously fake but the way they phrased the initial tweet made it sound like a real clickbait article so it went insanely viral when people quote tweeted it to make jokes about robbing the blue tick houses. and then people saw only the quote tweets i guess??

Armadillo Tank posted:Thanks for this. I was considering hunting down the new trilogy but reading it probably would have poisoned any positive memories I have of his other works. You can safely read the 1st one in the trilogy, The Peripheral. It's good. very strong woman protagonist and other good women characters as usual for Gibson - Gibson's treatment of women as a male author alone makes him worth reading imho, I think he's very good at it and probably like #1 for male scifi authors. but yeah definitely skip Agency. Third one isn't published yet afaik And fwiw I still love Gibson. Lots of olds in my life I care about have MSNBC brainworms (and FOX brainworms, too, which are admittedly worse).
