   Last week i read a few articles about scientific studies that seem to show that
   
   - people forget everything they learn in school, unless they already know it from general osmosis
   - people also forget everything they learn in university, but it doesn't matter because people don't go there to learn but to get a degree
   - scientists (especially sociologists) do not understand statistics, not even statisticians
   - the likelihood of a paper passing peer review is only lightly correlated to the quality of the paper
   
   I guess the first thing explains why it seems to matter so little (after a decade) whether you send a kid to a regular school or do something like homeschooling or montessori. Although it's hard to say if this applies to all kinds of schooling or just to the current degree-based system.

     @bonifartius @lain

     Our final class still knows a lot from that time. We meet regularly. We had a tinfoiler as a history teacher and an openly alcoholic for math. Others were even weirder. The supposedly worse a teacher was the better they taught us.
     The blanks were the normies. They failed hard.

     Probably neurodivergence and not finding a group or a friend who you really connect. In primary school I manege to have a very sized group of friends because I went to kindergarden whit most of them. In High school was reduced to 3 and the majority of my friends now are from online circles. If didn't go to kindergarden or primary school I would be 10 times more fucked in the brain.

     Also I'm from the mid 90's the atomization of social media didn't exists. Social media is a big factor in isolation.

     @bonifartius @lain sure, search engines and algorithms aren't helpful for our content so it needs to be manually collated and shared
     
     alt hype is one of the main thinkers in the dissident right. He redpilled a lot of people who are now bigger than him

     @billiam @lain yeah, search engines really went to shit in the last years. really hard to find non mainstream stuff as everythimg gets lowered and "ℹ️ this was flagged misinformation by independent fact checkers" and so on.
