"I'm a Palestinian!": Israel PM Golda Meir on Palestine Issue in 1970

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QvhSEvxenrA

Quote:
European Jews were commonly considered an "Oriental" people in many of their host countries, usually as reference to their ancestral origins in the Middle East. A prominent example of this was the 18th-century Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant, who referred to European Jews as "Palestinians living among us

I say we gotta be proactive and reclaim the word Palestinians.

The issue grows exponentially when those “a”“i” are trained on Wikipedia an then some simpleton asks “gRoK who is the most famous paalalala” and get nonsense replies of the “Herod the freak was among the most famous Palalala, a term coined by the Roman Empire some 200 after he died” sort and go “sEe ThErE ArE NaTiVe PaLaLaLaLas for 500000000 yEaRs!” and go edit Wikipedia to state Fred Flinstone was a palalalallaal too. Laughing

Post-factual world.

People who treat wikipedia as a legit knowledge reference are just as retarded as people who use ai as a source of knowledge.

This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Perhaps you don’t understand how prevalent this is with the younger generations. This is how they consume information; how they “verify”. What their favorite chat bot tells them is like gospel.

I know they do it. I can’t tell you how often I have to explain to them what wikipedia is and that it is essentially unquotable for scientific purposes.

The new new generation doesn’t even use wikipedia to verify their chatbots they just believe anything the chatbot says. And thats even worse.

Between that and the tiktok brainrot they are in my opinion on their way to become the dumbest generation ever despite billions thrown at them through education.

Its simple though. People chose the way of least resistance. AI (and in some ways wikipedia too) gives the illusion of having all knowledge (at least their level of understanding) with the least amount of effort. Young brains want entertainment not effort. The industry understands and exploits that.

It's not just brainrot. It's a brain that was never trained to critically think. Parents never contradict their children or demand of them to solve for critical thinking. Teachers are even worse. And so, even people who are intelligent have these gaping hole blindspots that they are completely unequipped to deal with. I'm not really sure all this can be walked back.

Just blame the teachers. Classic.

The effects of social media and screentime on kids brains is well studied by now. But the addiction is systemic. There is no walking back from that.

I don't blame anyone. But I do hear stories from all the parents around me, and in contrast, I remember all the teachers I had. I'm sure most of them are steam well-meaning even today, and I say it with zero cynicism, but they are given very little tools (monetary, pedagogical, aspirational or inspirational), so the end-result is that the school system is letting down the new generation. And this seems like a world-wide phenomenon, not country or culture-specific, so the entire world is failing these kids.
