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.

@lain have you links to those articles? sounds interesting

@lain @bonifartius ah yes, alt hype did a video on that a few years ago.

@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

I have a list of cool websites here:

@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.

@bonifartius @lain yandex can be very good for politically incorrect content
