I'd love to see a video about Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, and the invention integrated circuit. Seems like a natural continuation to the series on transistors.

We could commission an actual nonbinary person to write a 1,000-word column about what it means to be nonbinary. But instead, we'll publish 1,000 words about fuck all by our in-house bigot.

This explains rainbow crosswalks. They're tying to trick us into not jaywalking.

I agree entirely, I'm just explaining the English words.

The Spanish words for marijuana and smile also start with an m and an s, respectively.

Relying on data aggregators is not the same as referencing someone else's work or using tools.

When you read a news article that references a study and summarizes its findings, seek out the study and see if it says what they say it does. Use whatever tools to find it, but read it yourself.

Doing your own research means doing your own research, not offloading it to someone else.

How am I astroturfing? Please elaborate.

Algorithmically driven platforms are also bad. Alec recently posted a great video about it.

No. The one thing I like about Ground News is that they give money to a lot of creators I support.

I'm against this company specifically for the reasons I've laid out.

Subscribing to Ground News is the opposite of checking your sources.

Labeling news sources using a left-right binary is inherently harmful. It's a bad starting point for someone wanting to be informed.

If you end up in a larger bubble, then you have not left the bubble.

I encourage people to not depend on resources that make you intellectually lazy. Building the habit of doing research instead of browsing aggregators.

My beef is with people who use Ground News and then act well-informed about an issue because they read articles "from both sides".
