    Grokipedia aims for maximum truth through first principles and physics. It replaces partially masked evidences of how legacy media operates, rewriting with complete accurate context that cuts through the BS.

    Christ, these people are so fucking stupid. Can’t wait to see how Nazi autocomplete solves the problem of induction.

    Also, ‘fun’ fact. The second result for first principles on ddg is a blog post by a self-help guru sucking Musk off so hard you’d think they’re being held at gun point.

      It’s not stupidity. It’s contempt.

      Contempt for the truth, and contempt for anyone who believe truth is more important than power.

      They will tell you what they want reality to be, because they have the power to dictate what you believe.

      When we act, we create our own reality, as the anonymous Bush administration lackey said.

      And you will believe them. Or else.

        I agree, but I really do think it’s coupled with an (un)healthy dose of stupidity and delusion. These “free thinkers” really do think you can just pull knowledge out of the air from “first principals”, whatever the fuck that even means in their context. They are completely ignorant that we arrived at our current scientific understanding by countless people stumbling over countless invalid theorems, not to mention piles of peer review and hard work. And chances are most of what we think we know is wrong anyway!
