This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
If you were on a forum dedicated to perfecting your hand-drawing skills, and requested feedback for an AI-generated image, the screeching would be 100% justified.
I was not aware that this is a forum for wordcels in training, where people come to polish their prose. I thought it's a discussion platform, and so I came here to discuss what I find interesting, and illustrated it.
Thanks for keeping me updated. I'll keep it in mind if I ever think of swinging by again.
It is a discussion platform, which means people want to discuss their points with someone. The point where I was absolutely done with Darwin was when instead of defending one of his signature high-effort trolling essays, he basically said this was just an academic exercise for him to see if the position can be defended. The answer is "yes", you can always put a string of words together that will make a given position seem reasonable, and it's not really a discussion if you're completely detached from the ideas you've put to paper.
I find the "wordcell" accusation completely backwards. Supposedly we're obsessed with perfecting form to the detriment of the essence of discussion of ideas, but I think a zero-effort AI-slop copy-pasta is what is pure mimicry of what a discussion is supposed to be. The wordcell argument might have made sense if, for example, you did some heavy analytical work, weren't talented as a writer, and used AI to present your findings as something readable, but none of these things are true in this case.
I am quite happy with my analytical work that went into the prompt, and R1 did an adequate but not excellent job of expanding on it.
But I am done with this discussion.
