The Seven Signs of an Empire’s End | Ernest Richard Rugenstein, Ph.D. Cultural History

I teach history at a local college. When people ask me what “type” of history I usually say whatever my department chair needs.

@thedarktangent There was a lot of anxiety flushed over here, now people might be settling in and finding sustainable social media use patterns.

I have notifications disabled to avoid the pavlovian programing, and open the app once a week.

I'm beginning to think a lot of people on Twitter who THINK they're fighting for progressive causes are really more interested in griping at alt-right trolls. Every time I visit Twitter, Kevin Sorbo, Andrew Tate, Kyle Rittenhouse or Trump is trending for something they posted. WHO CARES? All the attention they get from the left is precisely what they crave (and it only helps Musk's Twitter succeed.) Twitter is a place for people addicted to outrage. I like Mastodon better.

@tyfi when I had <10years in the industry I would have chosen that option.
Having 20 years in I chose “>10”.

This is a quote from “The skeptic guide to the galaxy”

The Dunning-Kruger effect

Describes the inability to evaluate one’s own competency, leading to a general tendency to overestimate one’s abilities.

Is not about dumb people not knowing how dumb they are, is about basic human psychology and cognitive biases.
