Small-Scale Question Sunday for September 24, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Yeah, at this point it's my fault for buying books based on liking someone's (less dense) online output and just expecting them to say something different without checking. I got Freddie's cause I liked his first and figured it'd be more of the same.

But this is arguably bad even for the John McWhorter "I'm a fellow tribe member, it's okay. You're not crazy or racist if you ignore these wokes" genre

Of course, in hindsight, part of it may just be that I am (was, I dunno) way more of a normie-leftist on education than crime. IIRC Others here without that problem also complained about some of the same behavior I'm noting here in The Cult of Smart too.
