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.

Notes -
Correct.
Yes, I agree, as long as you can check and cite to the output. I've used AI to do research before for some of my posts on here; at this point it's pretty much a better search engine (in part because search engines have gotten worse). But I don't let it write them.
I think this is lazy and based on my experience of when people actually do that in here, worse than someone not just posting at all.
I don't think this is necessarily bad, but it's on the top of a slippery slope to posting a lightly-edited AI-generated text, which I don't like. If an article that you read or a conversation you had serves as a jumping-off point or ideation focus for a Motte-post, I think that's fine, and an AI text may happen to do that, although I would use a lot of caution. AI fact-checking your post may also be good. I don't think quoting from an AI (as long as it's treated the same way as any other external source, e.g. Wikipedia - put in a quote box or with quote marks and noted as a source) is necessarily a deal-breaker: if your post is mostly Wikipedia I think it should be treated the same way as a post that is mostly AI unless you have a very spectacular way with words. But generally speaking I want the words and thoughts to be yours.
Note that I am not trying to invent rules, just lay out what I am looking for in this discussion forum personally (and in discussion generally).
