How confident are you can, quickly, learn enough about a topic ...


you are relatively unfamiliar with, to adequately, inform your opinion on that topic?

And, once so informed ... what would it take for you to admit that the internet is NOT a good tool for quick self-education?

We saw this just the other day, when during a haemorrhoidal spasm, the sparkling old dude randomly got all hot and excited about Brexit, an issue of which he was woefully ignorant until that very second.

A tinge in the bowels, and boom! he was illuminated.

There is not a primitive alive that can learn anything about anything.
Once a fact does not fit in their delusional utopian fantasies they turn into screeching basket cases.

There is a thread about how commie the 1972 platform was.
Everyone that mentions McGovern lost 49 states is met with NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!,IT WASN`T BECAUSE OF THAT!!!!!

13. I can't learn though traditional methods of teaching, as in a formal education setting. It's

a thing, I can't process information like other people. Had pretty much checked out of school by age 14, by which I was reading and writing at a 4th year university level, and reading 2000 words per minute. I would check out 2 books a day from the library after school, take them home, read them and return them the next day. But I couldn't and wouldn't do homework, but would ace any tests involving essays. Managed to get C's and D's. Meh.

My point is, I read furiously and fast. I know by now what are legitimate sources, and how to ascertain if a source is legitimate, generally by publications and often authors, depending on the topic. And usually I can just smell bullshit. Especially in politics!

I am auto-didactic, self taught, self educated, and until 1994, it was through books. After I got the internet, my learning and education increased dramatically, on any topics that interest me, and sadly, far too many do. Art, history, lots of history, all types of history... politics, sure. Economics, finance, investment; I taught myself day trading and the stock market; taught myself how to buy, sell and invest in property of all types. It's cool, it's an endless universe of learning something, all the time.

Anything can be learned on the internet, and I can become an instant expert on any topic within a few minutes or a few hours. Learning Wordpress however, has taken me several months. I still have some gaps to fill in there.

Methinks 1sbm might do well to devote a bit of time to learning English grammar.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

1StupidBlackMan, I am much more confidant in that, than I am in your ability to master basic grammar.

I am willing to bet that underahedgerow does not perceive or appreciate the role confirmation bias plays in deciding what is and isn't a valid source.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
