@Ljhm378 @dog_domain @theRTMullins People are permitted to evolve. Although many creators leave the evolutionary process documented for the sake of transparency. Joe has his own reasons (scrupulosity appears to be a strong driver). People are allowed to express dismay over the unexpected change though.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@Ljhm378 @dog_domain @theRTMullins You’re free to say that we’re overstating the expectation. Although when a content creator has a channel dedicated to curating, cautiously vetting and disseminating educational content, a collaborator will likely assume it stays up. People tend to assume public resources persist.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@Ljhm378 @dog_domain @theRTMullins While that is always a risk, most people who collaborate with others for videos do so under the expectation that the content will likely remain up. So it’s not too hard to see why some get disappointed when their work practically vanishes from the public eye.

@KristenDi86697 @majestyofreason I can only speak for myself, but I really like how sensibly you wrote both responses. Joe deserves above all else, grace regardless of whatever he is wrestling with. I do think his judgement is almost certainly compromised in many ways (no offense to the religiously sympathetic).

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@AbuAsuka @CounterApologis @majestyofreason @goingawoll Not saying it doesn't make any sense at all. Although I don't think it's warranted, especially given how malleable folks are to religious shifts over time. But of course, Schmid is free to curate his content at his own discretion. Though of course it will alienate many.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@AbuAsuka @CounterApologis @majestyofreason @goingawoll I understand why he may have done it although I'm a bit surprised he's gone all in. There used to be more epistemic caution employed in his work. The idea that good faith back-and forths are undoubtedly false or not worth keeping up seems contrary to his set methodology.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@AbuAsuka @CounterApologis @majestyofreason @goingawoll Content creators and professional philosophers are more than free to shift the direction of their channel. That said, it doesn’t have to involve sweeping old positions under the rug that were driven by honest inquiry.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@PAHoyeck Apologies.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@pensandpoison Happy Birthday! And taking the day off to read while starting on such a title is quite the perfect timing. "The Grand Inquisitor." Wishing you well on your special day and merriment on the rest of your reading journey.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@MattPolProf This is quite relatable. I'm glad I grew up a bit as well. It's a shame his views aren't often scrutinized in both left-wing and libertarian-right circles. Dispelling many of his ideas is important. Always appreciate your analyses of Sowell.

@FountainCartoon *err Happy Birthday for Thursday... (I really oughta read better, my mistake)

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@FountainCartoon Happy birthday man! Your talent shan't go unrecognized on your special day. Cheers.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@fuckounagirl @TheDarkDuchesss Eh, just because they grow up in the household doesn't mean they're navigating the same set of challenges. There are certain things one may endure that others may not! Really, direct comparison only works if someone has the exact same upbringing you do (which is an impossibility)

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@B_Mask_ Glad you've had a great time with it. Honestly, it feels nice to be a Spidey fan nowadays. Hopefully I can catch up on the MCU soon.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@PAHoyeck With that said, you are entirely correct about the fact that in many cases, the context is too narrow to provide enough sufficient information about what a word means. While inferential reasoning is immensely useful, in specialized fields, it often fails to decode words/meaning.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@PAHoyeck And how good someone is at inferring meaning from context will depend heavily on their neurological makeup (IE, their natural reasoning abilities). Some do it well, but many students struggle. It's a skill we all possess, but vast disparities in collegiate populations persist.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@PAHoyeck That must be frustrating as an educator. Though student impulses aren't entirely unwarranted. Most grasp the meaning of words through inference (at least with some accuracy). People may suspect the same skill generalizes to dense literature, but it may not always, unfortunately.

@english_shamar @ToonHive Your account name is very fitting given the situation at hand.

[Joseph Fletcher @Deadpoolfdhg423]

@TheRiddler109 @ToonHive Cow and Chicken came to Tubi on May 1st as well. I honestly don't understand it either. Only keeping a show for a few months and then removing it is disorienting and sudden. I sincerely hope these are short-lived removals.
