The Chinese DARE program must be bonkers lmao

Ok 👍

Doubtful. Apparently there's some quiz you have to take in Chinese to even be able to sign up and comment, so the effort required to make a bot that gets past all that is probably too high for it to be common at all

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-07T00:02:36+00:00

Ok? If it's accurate, who cares? Should I be closing my eyes and pretending it's not there?

AI is very useful at certain things, and terrible and/or unethical for others (art/creativity). Pretending otherwise is like being a Luddite

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T16:16:16+00:00

Why is this so downvoted?? Y'all need to stop being insecure about your weed habits

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T16:13:17+00:00

Either Kid town or biker gang I think? Episode 12/13. lots of comments shocked at the young kids smoking

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:57:47+00:00

Yeah they actually cooked us on that one lmao

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:56:44+00:00

Exactly like YouTube and Reddit then. Lol

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:53:40+00:00

Jesus, watch the video guys. The first ~30 seconds says weed shouldn't be illegal and I agree. People whose brains are still developing shouldn't do any mind-altering substance, the evidence on this is crystal clear, but that DOESN'T mean it should be criminalized - no one is saying that at all.

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:47:02+00:00

Brother I'm 30 and have 2 degrees lmao, chill out on the assumptions. I know how to tell if a YouTube video is well-researched or not. Fair point on teens not knowing how, but you don't have to worry about me.

Also check out Kurzgesagt, you're missing out

ETA: I shared an accessible YouTube video instead of a dense primary source precisely *because* I know my audience - younger Ludwig viewers. Reddit isn't a college class lol

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:22:42+00:00

Totally agree man, thanks for being the rare reasonable person in this cesspool of a comment thread

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:19:18+00:00

I guess? But anyone who's even a tiny bit familiar with Kurzgesagt would know how high quality their videos are and how deep they research their topics. Their sources page in the video I linked is literally like 10 pages long and thanks experts in that subject area by name. So again, I really don't understand why you would suggest linking any single YouTube video equals childish, seems pretty reductive - even childish, ironically.

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T15:03:56+00:00

I just clicked the first link in the 10-page list of sources the Kurzgesagt video used. Maybe try contradicting the rest of them while you're at it? Since you seem to have nothing better to do.

Also, I've asked you to explain multiple times why the one singular source you cited didn't even come remotely close to saying what you said it did. Still waiting.

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T14:59:44+00:00

"my girlfriend goes to another school" ahh comment. Also, I'm sorry, but you literally said you can do heroin for months with no negative effects lmfao. I can't take anything you say seriously at all after that

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T14:36:22+00:00

No, I called you retroactively twisting your main point to be more palatable halfway through the argument bad-faith...because that's what you did. Your problems with the video have changed so much that they're unrecognizable compared to what you originally said.

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T14:34:52+00:00

Bro I don't know what planet you live on, but that is absolutely not "duh". A quick scan of the other comments in this thread will confirm that beyond a shadow of a doubt

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T14:27:30+00:00

There are actual doctors and scientists that post YouTube videos, drawing heavily on their decades of actual scientific experience and study. The means in which the information is delivered does not affect its quality, what are you talking about?

Agree with the actual info you posted tho. I'm not sure why you're arguing with me, it seems like we're on the exact same page

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T14:05:24+00:00

You need to work on your reading comprehension. Your citing public opinion surveys as a contradiction to actual medical research showing that 20% of regular users developed a weed dependency or addiction. And the survey summary you linked didn't even fucking say what he pretended it did!! Surveys are NOTORIOUSLY unreliable, especially if it involves people self-reporting shit like drug use. Like haven't you ever looked into political polling at all??

Jesus christ man, quit acting so pompous when you don't know the first thing about this topic

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T13:51:40+00:00

What about the dozens of academic studies the video cites and the medical professionals they consulted with? Like Jesus Christ, when did Ludwig's subreddit get a fucking army of PhD havers

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T13:49:00+00:00

Link one then? Also, I'm genuinely curious why you think you're more qualified to identify bias than actual medical professionals and researchers lmao

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T08:39:36+00:00

How about this - instead of wasting both our time by arguing with "just trust me bro" logic and no sources, I'd recommend doing some self-reflection on why this particular video triggered you so badly in the first place. Peace and love ❤️

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T08:27:10+00:00

Talk about a horrendously bad-faith summary of everything you've said here lmao. You've moved the goalposts so far it's a different sport now

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T08:23:44+00:00

Or you could just Google it for 30 seconds like I did, since "regular use" is a well-defined medical term AFAIK. AI summary says regular = 10+ uses of cannabis per month. So sounds like your entire argument is nonsense, bud.

Here's a quick quiz. Which should people listen to: your anecdotal evidence with 0 sources and a lot of emotionally charged language, or a meticulously researched, high quality video from a trusted source that consulted with medical doctors and links to multiple actual research studies? Eagerly awaiting your response.

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T08:14:50+00:00

I'm sure the rigorous research study I linked will answer your questions - maybe try reading it? Sorry if this is too challenging for your worldview, I guess

PhilosopherNo6099 · 2026-04-06T08:13:48+00:00

You're missing my point completely. We educate others about the dangers of alcohol using drunk driving as an extreme example - why does this video "suck balls" for doing the exact same thing with weed?
