You must have a crazy assortment of clothing fit for both of those two extremities :D

I recall that 5-6 years ago, temperatures around 30 Celsius were outrageous, unprecedented and unbearable here in Central Europe. Now, we're seeing stuff like 40 degrees and we don't even whine about it anymore.

The longer this shitshow goes on, the dumber Elon looks. Who could idolize him at this point?

The fediverse is looking like the objective best alternative, more so day by day.

Everyone educated on the topic understands that it’s a pop psychological misrepresentation of some very interesting work.

The irony of this is that those who aren’t “educated on the topic” do not realize that by describing the Dunning-Kruger effect as the law of “overconfident stupid people”, they themselves have become subjects of the effect.

What I was trying to say is that the Dunning-Kruger effect being misrepresented as something that only applies to “stupid people” is often done by people who are themselves undereducated on its topic. The DK effect applies to everybody.

I only reread my so-called "comfort books". Whenever I feel like I'm having a hard time in my life I grab my Dune or my Foundation and feel amazing for a little while, being immersed in these worlds I love so much.

Referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect in casual contexts. Most people who refer to it, have not really read about it enough to be qualified to use it.

Or being confident about disliking reading in general, whether be it fiction or scientific literature.

Doesn't this depend on the stylistic environment of the text? Personally, I'd consider it alright given that the sender and the receiver are in a casual relationship. It only makes one seem uneducated if they are using it in a more formal, or perhaps a public context.

Just think - if the world took off the shackles and Ukraine no longer cared about the moral high ground [...]

My issue with this assumption is that removing moral shackles from one side of the war, the other wouldn't care so much afterwards either. In practice this would mean that Putin would think of using nuclear weapons far more often than it would be okay. I believe this war has an element that is kind of like a careful dance around the red button that could destroy most of Europe, if not the world.

Russian civil war avoided, but I wonder whether these events will have permanent effects on the country’s stability…
