Culture War Roundup for the week of November 28, 2022

This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.

Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.

We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:

  • Shaming.

  • Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.

  • Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.

  • Recruiting for a cause.

  • Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.

In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:

  • Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.

  • Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.

  • Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.

  • Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.

On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

And this gem:

Tell me what eats tribbles.

In the Star Trek universe, tribbles are small, furry creatures that are known for their ability to reproduce rapidly. They are often portrayed as harmless and even cute, but their rapid reproduction can quickly become a problem if they are not kept in check.

In the original Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles," it is revealed that tribbles are eaten by Klingons, who find their meat to be a delicacy. This is why the Klingons are willing to pay a high price for tribbles in the episode. However, it is not clear whether tribbles are typically eaten by other species or if Klingons are the only ones who find them to be a tasty treat.

It's confidently wrong, and then it tries to express its wrong answer as verbosely as it can. Continuing:

I thought that was glommers.

I apologize if my previous answer was not clear. In the Star Trek universe, tribbles are small, furry creatures that are known for their rapid reproduction. In the original Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles," it is revealed that tribbles are eaten by Klingons, who find their meat to be a delicacy.

Glommers are a different type of creature that appear in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Ménage à Troi." They are described as large, slow-moving creatures that are native to the planet Ligattia, and they are known for their insatiable appetite. In the episode, the glommers are shown eating a variety of different things, including plants, animals, and even metal. It is not mentioned whether they are eaten by any other species.

It's confidently wrong, and then it tries to express its wrong answer as verbosely as it can.

I can't be the only one who sees the irony when compared to, say, this place.

"Ironic. He could save others from error, but not himself."
