    None.

  • A monad is when you can do shit and return stuff.

    LMAO. XD

    Fun as that is, I think I'll lean more to the "Burrito" explanation [~ a-ha, you do get to that further down]. Or maybe even something refining "maffs all the way down".

    monad transformer stacks

    ... that like a "super monad"?

    It sounds fun. ... like an advanced form of chasing your own tail like trying to program almost entirely with GOTO.

    elm

    When I heal from burnout, Ima go learn elm.

    (Wont heal If I don't heed "recovery from burnout takes twice as long as you think", and stop trying to jump into geekings or political/philsophical debates the moment I have 1 spoon back.)

  • couldn’t reasonably explain what they are.

    I've been through phases when I could explain it, and in far simpler terms, less jargony, than endofunctors.

    enough German to understand

    Heh, yeah, as I rewatched it, laughing hard, I wondered how much it fails for those who understand German.

  • I had no thoughts of you one way or the other at all, let alone that. Though I do now... Way to show your narcissism shaft, conjuring hostile poor-me self-aggrandising drama from nothing.

    I was just thanking you.

  • People like this argument, because they can then hate autistics. They could say we are inherently broken and need to be “fixed” or genocided.

    Wow. You've met people offering that inference from that argument? Aaaaand my ilithiophobia strikes again. It's like hatred of left handed people all over again. Please, if you ever encounter someone with this disturbing notion, please do offer them some better sense. Please explain to them it's not a moral failing, or failing of the content of their character. Please encourage them to not be so fearful and hateful of difference. And it does not even matter what "causes" "autism". That kind of "fixing" is abusive as hell... like ABA. Genocide, too... perhaps the most dangerous form of only having one tool in the toolbox. Gotta teach these muppets more tools. Cant leave them running around with such dangerous foolishness, uneducated and unchallenged.

    At this point, I only respect people who were discriminated/abused/mistreated in their childhood.

    Yup. >9000 times more respect for we few worst bullied at my school. Only a couple days ago I was thinking/remembering/feeling this so very strongly, and how I'd love to reconnect with them all, to share my admiration of them, my sympathies, and perhaps most of all, my apologies for every time I did not find the courage to step in and stand up for them, and worse, any of the few times I joined in to survive.

  • Sides?

    Oh, so we're talking about those bifurcated into competing groupthinks, not the search for truth with an educated mind.

    "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting nor rejecting it", not picking a side. And certainly not flinging around sweeping generalisations1.

    ( 1, and when I was trying to remember/refine that term, I asked an LLM, and it suggested there may also be the following fallacies in that: False Equivalence, Appeal to Authority, Appeal to Popularity, Appeal to Trust/Tradition, Straw Man, Vague Reference, Guilt by Association, Reification, Othering, Composition Fallacy, Division Fallacy, Weasel Words, Anonymous Authority, and of course, Sweeping Generalization. That's quite an impressive collection. And you did it so slick. Most slipped my attention. I bet you don't get called up on your fallacies often. Not just from the intimidating arrogant airs, but because you're so slick with them. Hope that helps you introspect and scrutinise your thinking, and is well received to consider.) :)

  • I often share the story how (as the story concludes)

    after I renounced formal education, I learned more in my first year alone with an internet connection and a library card, than I learned in the entire 14 years of formal education prior.

    ... I would not have so successfully done so had I not had the library card.

    ... And that was back when the internet was more like a library than like TV. And long before the big corporate search engines censored about 99% of the results, like they increasingly did over the past decade.

    Do not over estimate the wealth of knowledge the internet has (even with LLMs now). Blind biases lurk. We do not know what we do not know, nor how much more there is to know. Easy to fall into arrogance. And what is arrogance really, but ignorance of our ignorance.

  • Do they also teach how to spot fallacies? Or do we have to get that from elsewhere? Evidence suggests elsewhere.
