Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 5, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I'm unaware of what he was like before, I didn't surf the culture war threads. I have similar views somewhat, at least anti police and judiciary ones from reading Aidan Maclear but calls for violence on the daily basis does not seem very high percentage.

Kulak isn’t very intelligent and isn’t a very good writer. This has nothing to do with his ideology; there are people with ideas I find far more repellent here and elsewhere who I would freely admit are clearly intelligent, compelling writers. I think he has a kind of sincere autistic charm to him, but he’s not even 50th percentile smarts among regular contributors here.

To this point the two kulak posts I most rememeber from the Reddit days are one where he had a foaming diatribe against sales as evil and soul sucking, but a humorous unawareness that sales as a field was more than cold calling. He had worked one soul sucking sales jobs and blindly extrapolated a nonsensical point out of his narrow angst.

The other was an incoherent unworkable point of view about living on boats. Something like a suggestion that everyone should.

Either way, the guy has always been extremely narrow in his point of view and very bad at scaling or extrapolation, which is why the default to fed posting is his sweet spot

Who are some you recommend. I don't read much of the culture war stuff, I should now and check out the quality contributions thread too. I was told to read your takes btw so do recommend some by yourself too.
