Been wandering if greed/power is actually the Great Filter of the Fermi paradox looking at the world we live in. The "evils" just keep getting worse...

I feel it kinda highlights the healthcare and insurance issues, really puts it in our collective sights
I've been debating putting my two cents in for a while as I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I chose discuss.online as my main instance BECAUSE it wasn't defederating with anything, at least at the time and that I was aware of. I wanted personal control over what I do and don't get in my feed rather than leaving it to others.
I get not wanting new users to be put off by hexbear and such, I'm not a fan of them myself. However, I think new users to Lemmy are likely to start of in Lemmy.world or another mainstream or local instance and figure out from there if they want a different Lemmy experience. That's how I ended up here, where I can see just about everything and make my own decisions.
But yeah, just my personal view on this. I'll likely stick around no matter what decision is made regarding hexbear but I did move here cause of the defederating/refederating back and forths that .world was having with other instances and would hate for that to happen again

Crazy thing is, research says frequent testing actually improves learning. BUT, the way it's practiced by a lot of educational institutions feels like major misinterpretations of this information. It's about practicing recall, and even better if it's in a practical context and in low to no stakes scenarios.
Like you said, when you put so many incentives on test results, teaching to the test rather than the content becomes the norm, and everyone suffers.
it is the right moment for everyone who builds systems of control to reflect. It’s the right moment to pierce those layers of abstraction that allow you to get through each day, and question why it’s so financially lucrative for the system you’re building to exist.
Because there is no abstraction as leaky as a man waiting outside your hotel at 6:45 in the morning with a gun and murderous intent
Amazingly written article, last line giving me chills
Ee chee wa maa!
Hope people are taking notes
I get it might not be for everyone. Until the main thing happened the first time I wasn't sold either, but personally, the game does an amazing job at making me naturally and fervently curious about what the heck was going on
I came to say Outer Wilds as well. Honestly changed my perspective on what a video game can be and I can't find any other game that gives me that same feeling. The only bad thing about Outer Wilds is you can only really experience it once
Clearly people weren't ending sessions properly, leaving spirits stuck and overcrowded in the establishment.
