Using AI tools long-term may cause people to miss out on the opportunity to learn how to do tasks themselves.

Their words

Certainly, if you use AI tools long-term you miss out on the opportunity to learn how to do it yourself.

AI technologies have an overwhelming feel of total takeover compared to previous disruptive technologies.

Their words

Email definitely did away with some aspects of our lives, but it didn't have the overwhelming feel of total takeover that AI technologies do today.

There is no incentive for general mask rules in 2026.

Their words

But as a rule, I don't think that there's any incentive these days for general mask rules.

The risk of Long COVID is not greater than the risk of long-term symptoms from parainfluenza or adenovirus.

Their words

I don't think the risk of Long COVID is any greater than the risk that you might experience long-term symptoms from parainfluenza or adenovirus at this point, and it may well be lower.

COVID-19 is about as bad as an average seasonal virus in 2026.

Their words

I think it's entirely reasonable to say that COVID-19 is about as bad as your average seasonal virus in 2026, something that I could never imagine myself saying way back in 2020.

No one should use the specific Saudi Arabian randomized trials on exercise for depression as evidence for medical treatments.

Their words

We cannot say for sure if these trials happened or not, but we can say that no one should ever use them as evidence for medical treatments.

Several impactful studies regarding exercise for depression have serious issues that make them useless as evidence.

Their words

Several of the most impactful studies in the area have serious issues that make them useless as evidence.

The literature regarding exercise as a treatment for depression is extremely problematic.

Their words

As I've been saying for a while, the literature around exercise as a way to treat depression is extremely problematic.

The survey used in the study measured political affiliation rather than actual authoritarianism.

Their words

In my opinion, all the authors have done in this farce of a survey is measured political affiliation.

The study's findings that "gender ideology" makes left-wing people more prone to violence is ridiculous.

Their words

In other words, "gender ideology" makes left-wing people more prone to violence because it signals to the group the people deserving of that violence. This is, in a word, ridiculous.

There is no good reason to believe that people who support "gender ideology" are more likely to be violent extremists.

Their words

There's no good reason to believe that people who support "gender ideology", however you define it, are more likely to be violent extremists.

Universities should fire individuals found to have substantial plagiarism in their PhD theses and published work.

Their words

It's a truly ridiculous crime, and I'd expect any university to fire someone who was found to have substantial plagiarism in their PhD thesis and published work.

Jason Arday's thesis contained extensive and obvious plagiarism.

Their words

It is clear that a significant portion of the thesis was copied directly from other people's work. This is not in doubt, it's not in question, and the fact that so many people online are arguing that the plagiarism charges are false because a university said so is deeply depressing.

The media provides significantly more coverage to academic misconduct involving Black academics than white academics.

Their words

This sort of massive media storm almost never happens for white academics who do naughty things, especially in the UK. They may get some pushback, but it fades far more quickly, and their careers often survive the investigations.

Low-fat options are likely the best way to lose weight and lower cholesterol.

Their words

Full-fat is not going to kill you, but if you want to lose weight and lower your cholesterol, low-fat is probably the best way to go.

Full-fat dairy is slightly worse for health than low-fat options.

Their words

As this study-and all of the previous literature-has shown, full-fat dairy is a bit worse for your health than low-fat options.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
