If you want to avoid criticism, create less. If you want to avoid irrelevance, create more.

the distinctive modern pathology is unopposed rhetoric: values statements and PR that pre-empt criticism as they are designed to never face an advocate on the other side.

every time Mehdi comes at me with his "Anyone who doesn't like me is an ISLAMOPHOBE" shit, he gets massively ratioed. People have HAD IT with this crap, man.

that charge long leveled at sun and wind-that they provide "intermittent power"-is probably truer now of other energy sources

Taste is not about consensus or criticism, but the courage to value what genuinely resonates with you.Their words
Taste isn't consensus. It's not judgment first, either. It's easy to be a critic. Curiosity has to come first, because without curiosity you never broaden your horizons.

Most of the alarming MoltBook screenshots were humans prompting the bots to go viral, not autonomous AI behaviour.Their words
my criticism of MoltBook is that I believe a lot of the stuff that was screenshotted is human prompted. Which, just look at the incentive of how the whole thing was used. It’s obvious to me at least that a lot of it was humans prompting the thing so they can then screenshot it and post it on X in order to go viral.

Literary criticism is itself a form of literature.Their words
I know that this is a contested idea, but my favorite books of the last five years have all been books of criticism, so...I mean, it's literature to me!

I believe those things are utterly incorrect now. I I I I think people love leadership. Like they like they they love complaining about it, too, which they should. And it like it deserves all criticism it gets, but like there's something absolutely wonderful being part of a group that's being led.

I nonetheless found this book somewhat disappointing, because Jay seemed content to expound the authors he covers in more or less their own terms, rather than subjecting them to anything like actual epistemological or methodological criticism.

Mind candy: A fun travelogue which does what it says in the title. It pretty much satisfies any impulses I might have to actually see any of the artworks in question. No familiarity with art-critical jargon required, though long passages are (more or less explicitly) art criticism.

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.
