clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 27mA lot of Greek antiquity was literally stolen, like the Elgin Marbles. White supremacists who justified the theft said actually, brits are more rightful inheritors of Greek culture than the people living there (with heinous racial justifications) 110
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10h(And schools that don’t hold kids to high expectations and let them come out the same as they came in fail at that critical aspect of education) 010
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10hEducation helps to support the cultivation of that personal self discipline. If your teachers don’t let you stop at the easiest answer and make you elaborate your thinking over and over, you’re more likely to do that in your adult life, where there is nobody demanding that of you. 230
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10hSo support public education! Make it better so kids don’t fall through the cracks! 000
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10hAnyways what we really need is an educated public. They need to know basic concepts of the scientific and historical methods, understand scale, incorporate new information into their worldviews, and support claims with evidence (and recognize when they’re not supported) 100
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10hIf you emphasize too much about being careful what you believe they will still be lost because they won’t be equipped to figure out what to believe. I think a part of the problem is approaching people like they’re naturally gullible rather than naturally skeptical and inclined to claim-testing. 100
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 10hI’ve changed a lot of how I teach about primary/secondary sources and source analysis because of this. Students are lost in an epistemological whirlwind and they tend to stop believing anything is definitely true if taught about bias/reliability w/o a concept of how experts construct knowledge 110
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 23h(Sub was fired in the middle of the class for this so everyone was buzzing, the story would have a very different valence if the school didn’t clearly signal that this was an unacceptable way to talk to kids) 000
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 23hTheir regular teacher is probably gonna love it too. I had a student who gave me a lot of trouble last year and one day i was out and the sub crashed out at him and cursed him out and the next day he was like “i’ve never been more happy to see you in my life” 100
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 23hOK this is legitimately very funny. Elaborate performance art. The kids involved are gonna be riding high off of sharing this story for years. 110

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There is also daily fantasy sports which was the gateway drug for sports betting legalization, and lots of people in the AI space seem to have gambling addictions, so i’m making an inference here 010

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I really do love jet lag. I was a nebula subscriber before i started watching it and what got me to check it out was actually one of my 7th grade boys asking if i’d seen it and saying I’d like it. He’s a kind and curious kid and i’m glad there are male youtubers who can be role models for him. 030
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m glad nebula cut ties with Jacob Geller so swiftly. My husband and I have been loving our jet lag wednesdays and i don’t think i could have stood to watch those anymore if i thought the guys in the show were on the fence about the seriousness of rape 130
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026My dad was sexually assaulted by a man (who did this a lot and was untouchable because he was the kid of a diplomat) at a college party when he and my mom were passed out once.

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Sorry, I gotta be pedantic about this because I just taught it to my students today-- carbon dating only works for organic materials.

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Most of the ones I got wrong were specific brain vocabulary rather than the conceptual understanding of how memory works, so I’m pleased at least that I haven’t been misleading my students when I teach them about studying! 041

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I really have tried and tried to think of a good use case. Every one of them is cutting corners or risking sacrificing something that feels unacceptable to sacrifice. 000
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The funny thing is that the precondition for making AI agents— identifying and itemizing tasks— can be legitimately helpful for building time management and executive function.

clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So this stuff that should be common knowledge at this point— betting companies are not exactly operating discreetly!— is not actually understood well by most people, not widely discussed, not helping people at risk because of an abdication of social ethics by corporate newsrooms 010
clserdaigle.bsky.social @clserdaigle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026There’s not really a major sports media platform in this attention and advertising economy that isn’t complicit in pushing sports betting, getting engagement from sports betting, being sponsored by betting companies, reframing their coverage around betting… 110
