Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
You mean the business majors who think they're an engineer because they spent a year majoring in engineering? Jk yeah I know these morons, they're all throughout stem and if they see any value in the humanities it's them being really into philosophy but like in the same way some salespeople are really into tech, ie lacking comprehension or context.
Also why is it always some fucked up bastardization of Stoicism? Why can't it be Cynicism or fucking Bellicose philosophy it's always fucking bastardized Stoicism.
Probably because they think of it as manly logical philosophy. I always liked stoicism because it helps with my panic attacks and it's always weird hearing these guys talk about it. But also bad stoicism doesn't challenge them, it doesn't ask them to reconsider their actions, or to reevaluate anything. It merely says to be tough.
And in that vein it isn't just bad stoicism. Some of them get into neitzche or get really into egoism and do that about as well as their goddess Ayn Rand.
They just want to hear that they're smart and special and should be in charge.
Also whatever the absolute fuck is going on with "Rationalism" which much like objectivism is quite the opposite of what it's called. Seriously I feel like these STEM weirdos need to be forced to camp by themselves for a month or so, just factory reset them.
Be careful what you wish for. I thought lsd would fix them but no, instead of becoming one with humanity and the earth they made it weird and tried to act like it was the secret to getting vc money.
So yeah they might just get into month long camping alone and start influencing on it and gentrifying fucking off into the woods.
And yeah rationalism and objectivism are so yikes it hurts. And their understanding of Stirner is lackluster at best. These are the sort of people who would read proudhon and only take away the bigotry or decide that since all property is theft they should just start stealing
