What news sources do you follow with which you generally disagree?
  • Since I try to align my beliefs with reality, and I don't tend to follow news sources that don't accurately portray reality, ideally I wouldn't follow any news source that I regularly disagree with.

    Said every dogmatic, orthodox zealot since the beginning of time.

  • Is language mostly solipsistic?

    Consider the words on the screen. There are two sources of information.

    1. The words, how they're arranged and such.

    2. The meaning that you assign to the words. Meaning drawn from a lifetime of memories.

    99% of the information comes from the assigned meaning. So 99% of what's going on here is you talking to yourself.

    Why are we so concerned with impressing each other?

    "How impressed everybody is" is the basis of money, law, self-worth and our models of reality. But that's a pretty shabby basis if you ask me.

    What are the taboo subjects?

    The subjects that you can't even bring up without getting downvoted, banned, fired, expelled, cancelled etc.

    Data and Lor, the meaning

    Data. Lor.

    Lore.

    Data and Lore are 2 different kinds of information.

    That just occurred to me.

    What's science fiction without the machines?

    I mean, we could speculate and explore the strange future and stuff. Just without that tired trope of "well, science and technology progressed a bunch and then we got this really great machine".

    I mean there's gotta be another way. Examples?
