@explicus Why didn’t anybody rebuke Whoopi’s totally retarded misinformation? Perhaps nobody knew Proverbs 27:5.
Well, open rebuke is better than secret love because people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery.

@Revixus @explicus “Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.
—William Shakespeare, twelfth Night – Act 2, scene 5, lines 148-150.

[Albert Kauffeldt @Revixus]

Any Age of Enlightenment, 1600s—1700’s or 2000s—2100’s, would be a call for the emphasis on reason and the challenge to authority, and for more support for emerging nationalism and compulsory school attendance. So have the Age of AI produce its philosophers: the college dropouts.
