Former regular listener here. I find it hard to find a reason to listen to your nonsense now. A rapid decline in standards - so disappointing

Again, why critical thinking skills are crucial in education. If people are bombarded with a constant stream of algorithmically selected content that engages them emotionally and we aren't equipping them with critical thinking skills from an early age then things like this are the inevitable outcome

Kindness & compassion should be a given in health & care work, but in a system under immense pressure they can’t be taken for granted. Take the time to learn what it means to learn with kindness & compassion with our course Warm up, included in ShiftWorks. buff.ly/fLEvhvC

But should still be rescued if THEY were the ones drowning. Compassion for all. It is just much harder work for some than others

“Even the smallest contribution made towards a clearer understanding of one’s own position or that of one’s opponent – is a great success. A discussion which you win but which fails to help you to change or to clarify your mind at least a little should be regarded as a sheer loss” (Popper, 1994).

"Despite such anthropomorphic language often being used...by the models themselves generating statements like “I believe” or “I hope,” it is implausible that these models possess anything like human beliefs, desires, intentions, emotions, or even the sense of self implied by using the pronoun “I.”

Betrayal of Ukraine and pushing Russian talking points is a red line for me. I couldn’t vote for anyone who wants to destabilise Europe militarily - this new party takes that position

That would be St Jezza’s position

But you don’t think we should be arming them?

Not if you want him at the forefront of a new effective leftist movement. I’d like someone effective to push the government to do better- it’s not gonna be the magic Grandpa narcissist

Name Corbyn’s policy achievements- including on committees or working in a cross bench role.

Do you deny that he attributes Russian aggression in Ukraine to NATO?

Something that truly fetishises the Soviet Union in the 1970s. I think he was secretary of the Brezhnev fan club at the time

I voted for him twice - once with enthusiasm and once holding my nose. I couldn’t again- his argument against arming Ukraine is indefensible (unless the argument is we didn’t arm them enough- which his isn’t). All the best policies back then were MacDonald’s. He voted against VAT on school fees FFS.
