At some point you have to give yourself permission to pursue the things that actually make you happy rather than the things you’re supposed to like. (Details vary based on the individual and their local culture)

A banger line. :)

You got it, chief.

Don’t use gpt to fact check.

I really am waiting for automation at this point to sort out my mess.

Finland isn’t real. Fake news.

And yes, I am memeing, but only to drop this little doco re: Finland for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jt_6PBnCJE

Their program is a marvel.

The behaviour initially exhibited and observed were of wolves in captivity (think prison). Once they were observed in the wild, the theory fell apart. Caged animals act differently, just like people.

I’ve found some major accounts:

Haha, I am with you there 1000000000000000%

People are repeating the same problems of Twitter.

The key to happiness is not having expectations haha. (Oversimplification, of course)

Haha, well it isn’t that simple. I use them more for the humanities to condense complex topics down to major principles. We also use them as teaching tools, for people that likely won’t continue in academia. The big problem with these tends to be in the harder sciences, unfortunately. There are some journals which are extremely trustworthy for them due to the process of submissions, like Annual Reviews. These ones tend to be invite only though. Lots of people use systematic reviews as lit reviews too to launch off their own work and identify gaps. But you are not wrong; the issue is with junk science, and I would also like to soapbox here about the lack of education, even in graduate schools, on how to identify journal trustworthiness & prestige.

There are two above me at the moment!

Well, I’ve got news for you: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/far-right-phrenology-physiognomy-spread-hate-1234808413/

I find them extremely useful, they are a launching point like Wikipedia. I am currently writing one and this is how I was taught to approach them.
