Half the country runs believing in Fox News, and our literacy is below the sixth grade level, well before reasoning is introduced to the curriculum. I consider myself a fairly logical person, and I see the idea of operating on reason-first (I phrase like this for clarity, as emotional-based choice is valid after processing after reasoning is established) virtually never followed, even when claimed. I have lost multiple jobs because of this exact problem. I am an advocate of it in all situations.

Outside of my bubble, I have watched universities purge philosophy, and all philosophy courses, from their systems. There's a shift in the definition of True, with the "post-truth" movement. You can see how much reason influences the public with how they prosecute minorities, where bigotry is believed over decades of statistics.

Reasoning is non-existent here. Moot, no, reasoning is not of no practical importance, but it cannot be depended on here at this point.

Where can I get this one

Yet you all seem to conveniently forever this when it helps push your agenda.

My adgenda is "oh god I don't want to be killed and fools will fall for however the right spins this while liberals downplay the impact."

You don't understand that a lot of the country will never see the debate, only clipreels of whatever the fascist supporting media will put out to make more money (which is more drama).

Umm no one here is being swayed by Biden being old to vote for Trump. I'm worried about those gullible people put there who will fall for it, who have been falling for this same thing since Reagan. There are so many out there that are too illiterate to sit through a debate and depend on short clips (foolishly) to get the vibe, and Biden tripped up and handed over a lot of fodder for dishonest people to use to generate disingenuous footage. We have been sold the idea that you need a strong personality (or at least a strong face) to operate on a state level and have been since... idk Roosevelt is the first personality I can think of where that was played up in school.

You don't seem to understand that most of America doesn't run on reasoning for decision-making, but fear, and the right is a master of wielding that very effectively.

It works like that in the US! I had to sign up for the draft to exist, and they can ask me to kill at any point!

They're on twitter paying money to gain "clout"

"have the confidence of a straight white man" is not at the expense of an entire gender, unless one considers white men who are straight to be the only men.

Welcome to The Infodump! (lemmy.autism.place)

Hello and welcome to The Infodump!

I often have a topic I want to go off on, usually a special interest, but I have no one to talk to about it, so they stay as typed up notes until I could find a place (outside of reddit). I also love learning about new topics from passionate individuals, so I decided to start a community for that! The Infodump which I created as a space to allow for autistic people to make posts about their special interests in a respectful and safe space, at least while Lemmy is small and niche communities are too sparse to really have any engagement.

Mod Introductions

I'm Fern! I love seeing communities grow, and want to foster this one into a healthy community. This is the first time I've attempted to mod a community, so it may be a bit shaky at first but I'm dedicated to see this place thrive as much as possible.

If there is anything you want to see here rule or moderation-wise, or if I seem to be missing something important you want to see, please feel free to comment here or message me directly!

Hello, new instance! I am Fern (she/her) and I was recently diagnosed as autistic after suffering from a ~4 year burnout (and lots of 1-6 month burnouts before that 😮‍💨) and a bipolar misdiagnosis. Found a good therapist and am getting professional help finally!

I don't know what else to say here tbh, so I'll list some of my special interests:

  • Justness/Fairness
  • Information Accessibility

  • Electrical engineering
  • Video Game Controllers and their development
  • Linux
