omg i FEEL you about the asd articles... i'm cuttently studying psychology and THIS makes me wanna go and pursue a job in research after graduating :')
yeah !! you should! i study a very interdisciplinary degree and out of all the fields I study in (ML/phil/psych/neuro) psychology has the most inconsistent, outright harmful, sometimes misinformed-at-best info sprinkled into publications and even lectures and it's a genuine source of frustration ! we need def need more researchers committed to accuracy and fairness and eliminating stigmas, biases, etc. :)
#i think one issue is in many other fields once a better theory crops up or old perspectives are somehow refuted it takes far less time#for new publications and teachings within the field to update. like it takes a while but it happens#meanwhile in psych you have articles and lectures franksteined from older positions that have been frankensteined from even older research#which includes several conflicting presuppositions and sometimes even entirely unfounded assumptions etc etc and it does make u wonder how#the fuck stuff like that gets published in the century of our lord y2k onwards. like yeah yeah were going thru a replication crisis and#meta-research wise we have an issue where quite substantial research is not integrated into the field bc their citations metric never#took off etc etc but even given All That i think this is disproportionately an issue which at least partially is due to irresponsibility on#behalf of already established researchers. some things ive seen published in elsevier journals shouldnt have been there.#i shouldn't have seen a clipart photo of an evil puppet master with horns on an academic slide about ASPD in a room full of 100s of ppl#led by our well-established lecturers. smth needs to change fr.#but fr what do i know im just an undergrad idk 🤷♀️ it does come w the territory of being a field the existence of which relies on second#or third order extrapolations + interpretations lifted from first order evidence ig? idk#asks#anon#Ψ </3

TikTok really trying to give me "thinking of the Roman Empire" dysphoria
#sorry that I think the crisis of the third century is interesting#early christian heresies are fun to read about and that's gonna invole rome a lot of the time#this is also roman republic and byzantine empire erasure#(yes I know the byzantine empire is just the eastern roman empire)

Nice to know that South Korea respects the law more than the US and actually punishes people for attempting coups.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's attempt to impose martial law collapsed after 190 Members of Parliament barricaded themselves into the National Assembly chamber and voted to end martial law while the military tried to break in to stop them before they could vote. Many members had to climb a fence at the back of the building to break in to get a majority of the 300 member body in the room to vote.

The fact we know more about Cicero and Atticus’s daily life than we do about the entire Crisis of the Third Century™️ is hilarious to me
#power of being obsessed with each other#maybe you wouldn’t have had infrastructure problems which affected recordkeeping if you had more intensely homosocial buddies who were just#that obssesed with each in the Crisis of the Third Century ™️

Many people here think that they can "escape from Argentina/Latin America" (a stupid concept to begin with) but what I see instead is that most developed and semi-developed countries, with a few exceptions, are actually Argentina in the 90s, and are heading to a 2001 crash in different speeds.
What I mean by this is that in the 80s-90s, most countries adopted neoliberalism and capitalism just stopped focusing on producing things, at all, and became all about finances (finacialization). At the same time, neoliberalism destroyed the state (unions, welfare state, public infraestructure and investment, healthcare and education) in favor of expanding the market. Which now, with financialization, it doesn't produce anything anymore.
In Argentina we did it quick crazy and fast with Menem, and that's why we crashed so hard and fast in the 2001 crisis (and also with the 1976 dictatorship and now with Milei). Other countries like the US or most of Europe have centuries of accumulated wealth, and so they could cushion themselves on that for decades. But now that's running out. Inflation is rising, unemployment, destruction of local economies, lack of infrastructure, an absent state, social crises, political extremism... Eventually, neoliberalism comes back and destroys you. Here in the third and second world, we experienced it fast. The first world will be hit too, just with delay.
Again, the world is Argentinizing, and in not in a fun way.

Man do you really think the whole “100 million deaths at the hands of the govt in the USA” thing is inevitable
You're right a rapidly accelerating climate crisis won't lead to horrors unseen in the history of man everything's gonna continue to be normal don't worry about it! Sure a third of Pakistan was displaced in a century defining flood and forest fire season gets worse every year and droughts are happening more frequently but stuff like that is aberrant and not at all representative of larger trends. Surely if it were representative of an increasingly unstable climate the US wouldn't desperately cling to power and resources through violence as an exponentially increasing percentage of the global south is displaced and starved, right?

The degrowthers are right: There needs to be a lot less physical stuff produced, especially in the way of fossil fuels, and, for anyone with the least sense of justice, this means rich countries consuming less and poor countries consuming more. Such an apparent threat of rich-country austerity meanwhile contains, in truth, the promise of abundance: fewer but more durable goods, less work and more leisure. (Already in the 1990s, the French-Austrian ecosocialist André Gorz wanted to “build the civilization of liberated time” in place of that of wage labor.) The fact that any such global rebalancing of consumption patterns can’t plausibly take place so long as the rich countries of the Global North dictate world history is one more reason that degrowth remains a dead letter under capitalism. It is not, however, the working classes of the Global North that must drastically curtail their lifestyles: The world’s richest 1 percent are responsible for as much carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds of the global population. Much of the work of degrowth would be accomplished by the dispossession and destruction of the class represented by this sole percentile. As for the idolaters of growth, their god has not only failed but, Cronus-like, has started devouring its children as if these were so many chicken wings. “Growth” fantasizes one kind of fake substance, and “degrowth” another; real intelligence demands attention to how the ingredients of this world are different, not the same. Even so, the advocates of degrowth (a more attractive English word might be Samuel Beckett’s “lessness”) can boast of a sounder moral and political intuition than can the usual apologists for growth: Less stuff, more life! Such an argument may be obviated soon enough, either way, by the specter not of degrowth communism, but of prolonged capitalist contraction. Voters and politicians whistling past the graveyard being prepared for our children may have neglected to consult a recent article in Nature which holds that “the world economy is committed to an income reduction of 19% within the next 26 years independent of future emissions choices” (emphasis mine). Important factors in this bleak outlook include the declining agricultural yields and the massive and unpredictable damage to infrastructure attendant on climate collapse. In other words, even if carbon emissions are somehow reduced through the magic of the market, climate change can be expected to cause about $38 trillion in damages annually by the mid-century, enough to render overall economic growth infeasible. The choice facing the 21st century, then, is likely not between degrowth and growth. It is more likely between a form of capitalist contraction in which prosperity endures for a few but evaporates for the rest of us, and some kind of socialist or communist degrowth in which the well-being of everyone in general prevails over the wealth of anyone in particular. The precise politics of egalitarian degrowth are no more clear to me than they are to Saitō. But universal crisis will license strategies that theory alone could never discover.
