Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?
-
I think it's pretty elitist to judge the quality of a content via whether it's in a book/journal or not. In fact, the recent wave of scientific fraud discovery shows that one can hide data manipulation pretty effectively in an academic journal. I'd much rather scientists spend their time making eli5 videos.
-
Just curious, why do you write like that? Reminds when I was 11 and wanted to sound smarter on the internet.
-
My reply is an attempt to address the original comment with precision. To diagram its intended meaning:
alternative theories of consciousness
"Any body of academic thought" [I accede the scientific legitimacy of the domain of discourse, rather than dismissing it.]
know where to go to find well-argued positions on the topic.
"whose paradigmatic communication medium" [This is the beginning of my challenge to the Original Commenter, by granting the information provided authoritative status, which they perhaps cannot fully defend.]
On YouTube you can find plenty of discussions
"is video rather than text"
it's particularly important to explore these discussions as dispassionately as possible if you regard materialism as the only theory of mind that has any scientific credibility or validity.
"is prima facie suspect" [The Original Commenter has asserted that discourse and engagement are important, yet provided only time consuming, low signal-to-noise sources of information.]
As Christopher Hitchens reminds us in his legendary oration on John Stuart Mill and free speech [2]
"Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?" [The only written citations are 1) generic and 2) ancillary to the core topic. I invite the Original Commenter to further his argument more substantively, without demanding exhaustive citations.]
-
OK, let me rewrite it:
Any body of academic thought whose paradigmatic communication medium is video rather than text is prima facie suspect. Might you please link a written statement of the salient position(s) of any one of these gentlemen?
Academic content is usually in text, not video. Do you have links to written work from them?
Shorter and the exact same meaning. Also doesn't sound like you've been perusing your thesaurus all day.
-
No, the second approach's meaning is more obtuse. What does "usually" mean? Are there acceptable alternatives? If content is in an alternative mode of communication, is it acceptable?
These vagaries permitted in your revision are clear and inherent in the original commenter's motion. Therefore, I submit your adjudication of "shorter and the exact same meaning" is woefully superficial in it's drive for simplicity, to the point there is no thought left that is clear in the original garden. Further, exact and technical communication is what separates Hacker News commenting from the hordes of subreddits that thrive on imprecise babble.
-
At minimum, this does not capture that I _am_ challenging the Original Commenter ("prima facie suspect") to more rigorously defend his position, but doing so respectfully. "One salient" written source is a carefully chosen framing: the OC cannot meet it by replying with support peripheral or meta to the main argument, but neither can he dismiss my request as burdensome, demanding multiple links.
The proposed revision suffers from its terseness, losing both nuance and completeness.
-
Communication is about being understood. Not about crafting the perfect sentence. Even if you craft the perfect sentence, that will be the perfect sentence _for you_, and it might be completely lost on many people, some perhaps even more intelligent than you.
The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure, but the subtext of your comment is "I opened a thesaurus and tried to seem smart", which is why this conversation derailed here. You can't ignore the subtext to craft a mathematically perfect sentence..
-
Communication is about being understood.
The subtext of "Academic content is usually in text, not video" is "I don't trust this because it's in video, not text". Now if you say that is not clear, sure
Indeed, relying on the implicit when the explicit is sufficient [0] does a disservice to one's readers, in whose ability and charity to comprehend my surface text, without presuming confounding subtextual meaning, I have every confidence.
[0] It is not always; some things can only be gestured at, not grasped.

I hope some day you realize how cringe your comments are.
There's more in there... !clinklickers but I got sick of trying to copy the formatting right because the HNewses also love their >

Link to video -
Link to sub for the sub for the star wards hotel - reddit.com/r/GalacticStarcruiser
You don't need to watch the video - just know that she fricking hated the hotel and found it was not worth 6000 dollars, according to summaries I read.
The funniest part is the Disney adults in the sub who are coping hard. I don't need to link to anything because it's literally all over the front page. This is amplified by the base level of cope for the hotel closing.
It cost 6000 dollars for two nights in a shitty hotel with no windows and cruise ship size rooms btw

That's because you're not focusing on the actually important complaints. The devs have said over and over that they would not have a historical figure as a main character out of respect. It is not a coincidence that the character to buck this trend is the one black man on the entire archipelago. (10)

Wally is a famous "emotional support alligator" owned by Joie Henney, A Pennsylvania man who made the news when he and his pet were denied entrance to watch the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball in September 2023. He was also used as a visual reference for the alligator in the tv series Loki,
Links of the alligator in action.
A few weeks back it went missing.
From the post on /r/marvelstudios.
As a lot of you may know, the visual reference for Alligator Loki was Wally The Emotional Support Alligator! He is a very beloved companion to his owner, and has had a tremendous impact on the lives of so many!!
Unfortunately, Wally was kidnapped from his enclosure while on vacation with his person in Georgia. It is believed that an individual broke into his enclosure, kidnapped Wally, and placed him on another persons front yard. That person then called to report an alligator and a tracker was dispatched to remove it. The tracker stated he released Wally into a swamp with over 20 other alligators and said there was “little to no hope of finding Wally”. This is devastating and obviously extremely worrisome as Wally is domesticated and often enjoys Cheetos as part of his meals.
The tracker has been reluctant to provide additional information and seemingly has changed their story a few times. This is all really devastating for his owner and lifelong companion, Joie. It also is certainly traumatizing for Wally, who is now has had everything he's ever known ripped away from him. Both Wally and Joie deserve to be reunited!!!
I am posting here in hopes of bringing more attention to Wally's plight. The hope is that Wally's story will gain traction and put pressure on this involved to come forward and tell the truth!!!
For more information, please check out Wally's Facebook page or his TikTok account!!! There have been some outlets covering the story, but nothing that has driven the perpetrator, tracker, or Georgia DNR to be responsive or helpful in this dire search. If you are willing, please take a moment to spread the word or head over to Wally's Facebook page to help get involved! Thank you so much!!!!
According to this comment, Wally is Dead and the culprit is most likely the tracker himself.

Someone posted this gay teachoid tiktok making fun of blacc student attire/behaviour
this caused a spergfite between lards and poors, as well as olds and children: https://twitter.com/itsjustfatimah/status/1791576838394818780
it's because of the morning, it's because they can only afford 1 piece of clothing, it's because of the s-xhavers

let people enjoy pajamas, only pajamas are comfortable
they're wearing pajamas because they're so focused on learning, and maybe they took a shower then put their pajamas back on
idk why they can't just say it's a teenage fashion choice and move on instead of making up a billion r-slurred reasons to justify it, but it's kind of funny

Real butthurt about this one.
Made friends while rockclimbing earlier this year, good group of guys, sans one that gets a little too close, goes out of their way to do the "gay ironically" bit, starts singling out my girlfriend to be friendly toward. I'm not r-slurred, she is apparently.
She's like "can you believe that xxx wants me to go to the gym with him and help him approach a crush, I thought he was gay!" and other things that remind me why women are underdiagnosed for autism.
Anyway, after telling her its obvious he likes her and I don't think he's the type to respect boundaries, she keeps taking him at face value, and he asks her last night if she wants to frick the next time she works from home. She tells me I was right about him and said I could look through the messages if I wanted, like I need confirmation that men shoot their shot when they see an opening.
Reach out to the guy personally, he avoids my call, obviously. Post in a shared chat later that day asking if folks are downtown, he calls me a cute twink for using a group chat he's in "after he tried banging my gf" and he leaves the chat before I can reply.
Social dynamics at play are 1) he's been in this friend group since high school and we're all in our 30s 2) I've hung out with these guys a couple times over the past few months, since I had to stop working out for a bit after breaking my leg this year. I'm 90% sure I'm not gonna hear from these dudes again because the potential drama's too r-slurred. Lose no sleep over the ugly dude that thought he was a threat, but the other guys were chill and its hard not to blame my girlfriend for being r-slurred.
I don't know how women past the age of 20 can't activate that pattern recognition area of their brain to figure out that guys will say whatever sets them up to get in their pants. Having to comfort her this morning after she embarrassed me with this was the most emasculating shit I've had to deal with from a partner.
