  • When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.

    I havent claimed to be an expert I have asked for support to claim that America's education system is terrible as was inferred. You linked me a high view course with many different topics and have not given any indication that you know about this topic.

    You speak in generalities and tell me to find out the specifics for myself. If you asked me questions about my field in computer science I would be specific and try to be helpful for someone wanting to learn more about it.

    Yes I am lacking knowledge on this topic. But I have a brain and when I see someone disparage a country's education system based off of a single percentage statistic I'm allowed to shit on it. The onus in on the person who makes a claim.

    We can't trust anyone as an authority when users are anonymous. All claims are subject to the burden of providing supporting documentation.

    Not questioning claims simply because they jive with the general sentiment that America is the worst is deluded.

    You can assert whatever you want.

    Why is it that every time I take a moment to check on the information presented i find that american literacy is consistent over time and with other countries? Figure 14-1 page 46.

    https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2016/2016100.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A212%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22XYZ%22%7D%2C0%2C792%2C0%5D

    I don't have time to look at studies on this. But I'm not asserting beyond doubt that I'm right. I just haven't gotten any supporting documentation from you or OP to support the idea that american education is terrible like he casually infers with a partially relevant statistic.

    Thank you, but what option do we have except working with the system?

    I don't disagree that exploitation exists. It's hard for me to focus on that when I am benefitting from the exploitation of others.

    I'm seeing the opposite ideology as destructive though. Working with each other and the system to affect change is surely better than entrenching and dividing? You are saying it's bad to believe we can make the world a better place? What is more effective than believing that your country can do better? Shouldn't we be talking to each other instead of downvoting and blocking each other?

    I don't understand much about what you want because you aren't talking about it. You just insult me.

    We have some degree of equality and freedom to maintain, even if it's not utopian. I'm not sure what preferable alternative exists to vigilance.

    You are continuing to attack me because I talk differently than you? I am trying to be diplomatic. This is me.
