In class where at a woke university where "cognitive distortion" is being discussed as an issue to be changed through therapy.
Distortion as I know it is something that doesn't align with operational reality.
Wondering if gender/pronoun concepts are examples of cognitive distortion. :)
Is Foucault's statement that language creates reality canceled out by this concept?
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
Our very own @YayRain (after having imbibed some golden nectar), shares with us yet one more problem with CRT....
I went to a doctor today who must be in his mid-to-late 80s and had extremely good ratings on ZocDoc. I told him I'd read a lot of good things about him there, and he joked that he'd paid people to do it, adding something to the effect of, "But not as much as Harris paid Oprah to be interviewed by her."
Long thread from James Lindsay who thinks the answer is no
