Huh. My impression is that a preponderance of HN agrees with his conclusion. Stories about it from a variety of sources (not just Haidt) routinely make the front page; ditto techno-negative stories in general.

But true or not, he hasn't come close to supporting his claims.

>a preponderance of HN

is exactly the bias I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/Si183zE.jpg

HN is basically just reddit with slightly more dissent with the prevailing bias to be found in the [flagged] [dead] section. When the hivemind encounters data that causes cognitive dissonance it downvotes and flags it.

It happening in rare instances isn’t sufficient for the OP to claim “we aren’t allowed to clap at events because clapping is too violent”.

I was replying to this statement, "They made it up."

They didn't make it up, proof was provided that they didn't make it up.

Note that this isn't an unbiased source. This is working with Jon, the co-writer of The Coddling Of The American Mind, which uhhh is not without its critics for inaccuracies and stretching of truth. Check it out:

This is just an ad hominem.

I don't know how you leapt from the only group with a negative in-group bias to wanting to expand the in-group. Hating yourself isn't intrinsically inclusivity.

It's hardly widespread, but it's absolutely happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moWe3rk7LzQ

Saw a post on Paul Graham's twitter about this, turns out white, liberal female teens were the most depressed, for whatever reason, that's a strange specific group to be extremely depressed imho.

ChickenNugger · 3 years ago

White liberals are the only demographic with an out-group bias, and women rate higher in negative emotion, so this makes perfect sense to me.

I can run pretty much any game out of the box, even random games that nobody would ever have optimised for linux.

The time of the desktop has come.

ChickenNugger · 3 years ago

Serious question: Did you play the Diablo IV open beta weekend? (It's live for 4 more hours).

I did, on my Windows 10 box. The issue isn't random games that no one would ever have optimized, the issue is bleeding edge games that most people want to play, and play right now.

If you didn't, can you? If (the royal) you can't, get started in the time remaining, download speeds allowing, the year of the Linux desktop isn't here.

To be fair, "star dust" is not rigorously defined, and the cosmological definition of "dust" includes some pretty big chunks. So after the sun swallows the earth, there's a very good chance we'll qualify. :)

ChickenNugger · 3 years ago

At the cosmological scale, stars are dust.
