  • This is the shit that I can’t handle with the whole “had to walk uphill both ways in the snow in order to go to school” rhetoric, because it centers the story teller’s pain, and reinforces the “yeah, whatever, grandma” response.

    If they would instead say something like, “when I was a kid, not every school district had the money for a whole bus system just for children, and a large section of the population didn’t have access to cars either, so we were mostly responsible for getting ourselves to school on our own, on top of 6he ract that it was 8jcredibly difficult for the school district to communicate closures, so if you could possibly get there, you’d try, so we’d be forced to try,” It would do much more to communicate what they actually mean.

    Nowadays, he’s only taught in a, “None of what this guy said has any basis in reality, but he basically started the field, so we’re learning this as HISTORY ONLY.” kind of way.

    You don’t need to know anything about the content of his work in order to say he is a fraud, as it is accepted as fact by the field of study as a whole.



  • Interesting. Ants communicate by smell (essentially), so much so that a live ant which is coated in the “I’m dead” compound will be repeatedly carried to the dead pile regardless of how many times that ant walks away from it.

    So, something in Trix must include a compound that those ants identify as “Dead pile goes here”, and everyone thought someone else moved the dead pile lol
