Wow, no less a leading intellectual light than Kim Kardashian throws her lot in with the hoaxies, and this board is completely silent.

Tempting as it is to say something about it being too dim to notice, I'll just say she had the same tired old arguments that barely even stir a response in me after 20 years of doing this. However, the rather wonderful Amy Shira Teitel did a quick response reel on her socials which I shared and replied to.

Yeah, I noticed AST's take as well. Not sure there's much to add to it.

  • I tend not to hang out anywhere Kim (or any other) Kardashian is likely to get mentioned.  Not a whole lot of celebrity talk in C programming subreddits.
  • Are any of us in any way surprised or shocked?
  • Now I need to find AST's take.

Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.
