I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

  • it was about letting the students collectively set their own punishments and self-govern their behavior to shut down the possibility of authoritarian abuse. anarchists have been exploring this idea for centuries

  • get told they are supposed to be the better than the others

    better than those not at Princeton, not better than others at Princeton nor to the point of sabotage. in fact anecdotally they get told that even though they were probably top of their high school class they would be average or even low-performing, and will have Princeton's full support in managing the transition, especially the mental preparation for "mediocrity"

  • a culture of immense pressure and a zero sum game where collaboration between students is unthinkable

    making sure your friends are working honestly doesn't have to be competition. i don't like the implication that collaboration has to be conspiring to cheat against some authoritarian figure, instead of making sure all of your friends succeed.

  • yeah...

    well to be fair, unruffled hasn't answered mine either

    but rimu's a bit of a surprise to me, probably since i've never really "known" (seen) them much before other than "python dev, of piefed, making a third popular activitypub threadiverse client with lots of ambitious features"

    still, i think some of the things directed that way in this thread are quite unfair

  • i don't see how that has bearing on what i said lol. i argued about not creating many new communities and not closing inactive communities. the last new community i heard of were the two or three replacements for feddit, and just the 41st top community (41st since I estimate the photon pager has 40 items per page by default, and i clicked the top of page 2) has not have posts in over a month, let alone mod actions.
