- Comment on Is communist idea of base & superstructural bullshit? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t quite get your question, but It’s not bullshit, I believe that the terms were first coined by Marx (if memory serves). The base superstucture model is just a model by which to view the world, in that it explains (to some degree) how sociocultural/economic and other phenomenon arise from the means and relations of production, which is definitely true to some extent. But no model is perfect and it’s not the only model. The world is pretty complex and people can and do take actions that defy this model.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, but that sounds genuinely aweful. I’ve had these treats for my cat as well, but I didn’t realize that they could be that addictive.

Can you elaborate?
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 4 weeks ago:
Right and we also use lemmy, but we still weigh and judge what we read here or at least we should. And we should do the same for Wikipedia, even though I would argue that Wikipedia has higher epistemic standards than Lemmy. The point being, the openness of these platforms is a quality on its own. Wikipedia isn’t perfect, but it is far from terrible.
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 4 weeks ago:
It’s true that it is not generally accepted for writing a paper or essay, but that does not mean that the information is completely unreliable. While I’m sure that Wikipedia is not perfect with regards to truth, it is more accessible, democratized and readable than many primary sources or peer reviewed articles. Those properties have a lot of value by themselves. Would you not agree?

I might misunderstand, but isn’t that just a format? How do you manage and organize with Bibtex like in Zotero?

- Comment on Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College 4 months ago:
This. Especially in the humanities, the essay is the preferred form of assessment. I don’t have a birds eye view of all colleges, but I know that some of those courses should not have had essay exams. It’s as if teachers forget that other forms of examination exist.
- Comment on openscad is pretty great 6 months ago:
It’s cool, but I never had the chance to get into it. Conventional CAD tools are pretty convenient as well especially if you already know how to use them. What would be a good starter model to try this on?

How does making such a request work? Is it just an email?
- Comment on Neurosurgery on Saturn 10 months ago:
It was an interesting read. It read like a Utopian short story and is a clear critique.
- Comment on Clever, clever 11 months ago:
It does feel like some teachers are a bit unimaginative in their method of assessment. If you have to write multiple opinion pieces, essays or portfolios every single week it becomes difficult not to reach for a chatbot. I don’t agree with your last point on indoctrination, but that is something that I would like to see changed.
