But you don’t achieve wisdom by cloistering yourself apart from the out-group to create a neo-intelligentsia that treats theory as scripture and prioritizes only the aesthetics of revolution while ignoring the plight of the uneducated masses as a lost cause. That is the idea I am critical of (not you per se, but the behavior I’ve seen from a lot of others around the fediverse who care more about tribalism based on nothing more than the instance someone calls home).
I’m just here for a forum, not a soapbox.
Ok, I am also here for some memes, too. Life sucks without laughter.
We don’t cloister ourselves, nor are we a “neo-intelligentsia.” Theory isn’t scripture, and we don’t prioritize aesthetics while ignoring the plight of the masses. I even made an introductory ML reading list to help out with theory. I just don’t see the issues you see here.
I wasn’t factoring you in this “we” you mention, I specifically clarified I wasn’t. This “we” tribalism is a simulated and false perception, that’s the point I’m getting at.
Are you actually responding to me or are you just talking around me to make a point?

I just have a different perspective on it than you do.
