It's a guy who did videos about video games who has zero actual professional experience or expertise in psychology or politics speaking authoritatively about them but he does so on YouTube using bad clip art slide shows that last twenty minutes and tells people what they want to hear so a couple hundred thousand people online consider him an expert.

I mean if you could provide a counterpoint/ evidence other than "don't like the style" or "he doesn't have the qualifications!" that'd be appreciated.

Yeah, I don't see how you can argue against the central point of "Don't try to take the high road against Republicans, they will gladly burrow through the mud to gently caress you over every single time"?

I mean you should never take the high road in politics in general, all that happens is you lose but I guess you can feel smug in your failures?

Yeah, it's pretty interesting, although given how different ancient greek describes color as compared to modern english, there's definitely going to be confusion as you try to incorporate that. It's literally a different language!

You have to open the image to get this one. tl;dr is that Twitter's image cropping algorithm seems to prefer focusing on white faces over black ones.

It's probably worth repeating the experiment with different background colors to see if that has an impact on how the algorithm is choosing, but yeah, it definitely looks like there's a bias.

This is just an urban legend that sprung from people mistranslating Greek similes and metaphors literally. It gained a lot of circulation thanks to Joe Rogan types latching onto it because "how do we know that the blue we see is the same blue everyone else sees, maaaan?? :lsd:" but it's objectively untrue.

the one that leads to the conclusion of "what if the blue we see isnt the blue everyone else sees maan *bong hit*" is blue green language distinction

the dude who wrote my rec letters for grad school, jay mcclelland, theorized a few decades ago that the actual process is a chaotic one delimitable by a partial diff eq. so the word vectors dudes cited him and they ended up doing lots of weird language perception poo poo before fuckin off to trigonometry

Oxidized bronze is pretty close to the color of the sky (a bit more green though) so that's not even that unreasonable.
