A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

No secret, I just used to think they were being stubbornly dense, like goofy idiots. His video contended that it's more malicious than that, born out of evangelical arrogance and an unfulfilled need to be smarter and more "moral" than everyone else.
I feel like I turned out similarly, except the exact opposite.
To me, it's really, really important to be correct. Not to think I'm correct, mind you, but to actually be correct. One of my fears, therefore, is to be wrong about something without realizing it, especially if other people do realize that I'm wrong.
I wonder what that says about me.
