Serious question:
Why do adults always say that newer generations are less literate when kids nowadays read and type more text than any other era?

Also, most adults are incapable of remembering let alone appreciating any academic material and they're not held in contempt for it. Yet kids are morally burdened with the task of academic fulfillment.

We are living in an age where young people spend more time in school than every before. Compulsory laws and extensive additions to curriculum make every youngster a student.

Yet schoolteachers are unappreciative of this.
Meanwhile, we are seeing less industrial and social skills present in the prime age population.

Ok ? Theres at least one hundred more that say the opposoite.

>Why do adults always say that newer generations are less literate when kids nowadays read and type more text than any other era?
Don’t read primary sources, books, they read in other ways

>Also, most adults are incapable of remembering let alone appreciating any academic material and they're not held in contempt for it. Yet kids are morally burdened with the task of academic fulfillment.

i wish I studied more as a kid. Fuck its hard now, what I’d learn in school in a day now would take me a week of study
>Meanwhile, we are seeing less industrial and social skills present in the prime age population

Yes. They aren’t reading the BOOKS.
If they were raised to read the BOOKS we did, real history (get it before it all gets covered up), and not raised by an iphone then they would have a balanced view. There are many bazed gen A like this I hope and pray.

It’s not all about you, and your generation. The one after yours is more important than you. You will raise them.

You know that books were considered blasphemous in the first century AD?
And they still use books in schools or use virtual school courses with extensive passages.

It's not really the media that's the problem.
Because we have hundreds of web articles showing history events that even official history books won't tell you.
If the media format was really the problem, then why was it that even before iPhones, people were complaining about academic performance tanking?

Bruh. Even in the pre Internet days, people didn't read primary sources much.
And we have more articles and e books online than ever before with extensive reach on a lot of subjects.

Okay but seriously are there any actual writings by communists in the periphery critiquing communism in the imperial core? Full stop, just a periphery explanation of what is to be done in the imperial core

Currently we are reading Engel's on The Origin of the Family

Anybody remember what chapter we were up to?

His earlier ones might be useful because they'll give you the feels vibes liberals operate with on social media.

Restarting this reading.
Apologies for the pause.

Found out my Poli Sci professor has a lot of books on Marx and his relation to gender and such. Has anybody read "Marx on Gender and the Family" by Heather Brown? I couldn't get a PDF rip online and I want to know if she's a lefty or not.

>>24065
>I want to know if she's a lefty or not.
you are mentally retarded. you can perfectly understand marx and even write books analyzing his ideas without being a leftist. you don't need to agree to understand why do I have to explain stuff to you as if you were 10?
the point she makes is that marx didn't pay that much attention to it in his writings, but the few times he did he had a more nuanced and dynamic approach than the determinism of engels. that marx mentioned in a few essays and articles for newspapers the oppression of women, specially of working class but to some extent even of those in the dominant bourgeois class. and that he advocated for an active change of women's place in society and the replacement of the bourgeois family, even if still under capitalism, instead of passively waiting for technology and revolution to do everything

honestly I don't know why this good woman is trying to squeeze feminism out of a few passages when she understands and describes at length that marx was much more focused on the economic critique of capitalism and working class political activism. I mean, it was an interesting read but otherwise useless, I guess it could work as a base to develop a feminist line from a marxist perspective

>>24068
>you are mentally retarded.
who shat in your coco roos?

>I don't know why this good woman is trying to squeeze feminism out of a few passages

She's offering a class on family and gender through a socio-political lense, and I wanted to know if I was going to get an unessecary rehash of neoliberal feminism or an actual interesting perspective on gender. Thank you for the summary, apologies for using the wrong words to describe my intent. Will be taking her course now that I know I can actually learn something.

>>24065
Here you go, anon. It looks like she writes fiction, too

Following from

So, how do we go about defining science, and what good is "science"? The key break for modernity for me was the German idealists putting a stopper in genuine science and inquiry and insisting that science was something entirely alien to what it had been.

The chief purpose of the scientific endeavor is not to attain "absolute knowledge" but to eliminate enough of the known wrong paths to arrive at the least-wrong, which for our purposes is as close to the truth as the scientific approach is capable of. Science has no particular necessary philosophy or existential claims to be "science", but metaphysical and philosophical claims are necessary to establish the models that communicate any scientific inquiry, and two scientists can talk past each other by entering into an intractable metaphysical argument. The point of science is that there is a claim between the participants that there is a world outside of us or any conceit about it, and this is the only way there can be such things as facts. It is possible for the scientist to render the metaphysical and philosophical positions of any claim in language that is compatible with some other metaphysical framework, and so there is no singular metaphysics that has to be accepted for something to be "science". The only requirement is that everyone agrees that they are referring to the same world that is the only meaningful subject of inquiry.

It's stupefying to me how this is missed, and "science" has been commandeered by the most imperious statements and decrees, recited as dogma and a presumptive monopooly. I really wish people would stop doing this or encouraging this, without saying "science is the problem". No shit, science can be conducted badly. Humanity's scientific endeavor, all taken together, is not replicated by any other area of human activity. If someone produces obviously wrong results, the entire purpose of the scientific discourse is to eliminate those who are obviously malicious actors like the German idealists.

Let's have a thread about chemistry. I can't be the only amateur chemist on here. To please the mods, everything in here is purely academic. Check local laws before you embark on your projects. And before you do anything, make sure you have appropriate safety equipment. Think about the worst thing that could happen to your reaction, because chances are it will. Don't be stupid.

Archive.org has plenty of old chemistry textbooks. The most useful ones for me are those meant to teach youngsters from the early 1900's.

The way that we would do it is choose a date every week and then get into a voice chat together and have one member read through a portion of PoS followed by something like Kalkavage's Logic of Desire (or Hegel's ladder) and then talk about it together. We'd have a reading session every week until we finish the book. Everything would be contained within the session.

threads are slow here yeah, also there's a matrix chat. Users here don't like using discord for infosec reasons.

>>24046
I get that, I've tried matrix but it seemed dead to me (or maybe no one wanted to respond to me lol). I have no attachment to discord, if there are people who want matrix (or other apps) I'm fine with that, I chose discord because it's normie friendly.


>>24047
You could also think about bridging the matrix and discord. Seems quite simple if you have anywhere to run the bot https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-discord#end-user-documentation

>>24049
Good idea, I'll look into it if there is a significant amount of members on matrix.



 

Title. Have been reading into Soviet history for a while now and have recently came across his works. Halfway through both his overaching Soviet works and have thought them brilliant thus far in their fairness toward all parties involved in the experiment.

Can anyone offer any further laudations and/or criticisms? It's far too monumental of a task to verify it all alone, though from what I've seen it's mostly accurate.
