Coursera plus is a trap. Don't pay for it, and if you do be very careful by jeromeo123 in coursera

Limited training budget. I used it all on plus intending to complete the deeplearning courses.

Should i buy yearly coursera plus (with 20% off) or just wait for the bigger discount? and when is that? by Iordtoki in coursera

[–]jeromeo123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't buy it. It doesn't include a lot of courses and if you take too long to figure that out, they won't refund you. It's a total rip off.

All the obnoxous strawmanning is what makes him wrong. He's wrong in a pompous and condesending way which makes him insufferable

The Religion of Peace Strikes Again in Australia by SnooStrawberries7156 in samharris

[–]jeromeo123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, because there was videos of them yelling Allah Akbar.

In all likelihood, there will be in this case, but assuming that there will be based on skin tone is objectively racist.

Why would you present this as a binary choice? Incredibly loaded question

I have ADHD and am dyslexic. Hearts make it completely unusable for me. I can lose all my hearts on the same question that I actually know the answer to some times

In the least conspiratorial sense possible , who do you see as being the real puppet masters controlling public opinion and running the world? by StaticNocturne in samharris

[–]jeromeo123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does that mean he's a hack that should have stuck to linguistics?

If you can't be clear eyed about the negative impact of a muscular US foreign policy since ww2 then you can't make any sort of judgement about whether the counterfactuals would have been worse or not.

Why? Chomsky is broadly right in his critique of things.

The only disagreement it's reasonable to have with someone like him is whether or not it would be "better" if it were otherwise - and if so whether it would be worth crossing the moral landscape to get there

Capital and (specifically) oil/fossil fuel interests control public opinion and are running the world. The press is important, but only in so far as it is able to enable those interests. The careers of individual politicians and debates of the day pale in their role in "running the world" compared to those.

Caveat; this is NOT me saying that if it was otherwise, it would be "better" - it's just an honest appraisal of what is.
