      you’re about to waste my fucking time but:

      Mindset theory itself is incredibly controversial for a number of reasons, chief of which is that nobody can seem to reliably replicate the results of Dweck’s academic work.

      Ed links an article that talks about elements of the replication crisis in enough detail for an article where the replication crisis isn’t anywhere near on-topic, and I don’t think the article would be better if it included that detail

      feel free to include evidence in your reply that you aren’t here to be a debate shitlord

        I’m also confused as to what the takeaway was supposed to be here. Like, because a whole bunch of different famous psych studies fail to replicate maybe this one is less invalid?

        Also, were they expecting Ed Zitron of all people to not write a polemical?

            I will never forget the dude who argued online that the sealion is the real victim here (a victim of the “disgruntled female”)

              amazingly, I’ve seen (and I think banned) people who’ve tried to sealion about the sealion comic. these assholes really are shameless public masturbators

            I’m familiar with the original comic. If every attempt to engage in sincere conversations across different points of view on the internet is interpreted sealioning, then there’s no room for sincere engagement.

            But this is a matter of perception. Am I a troll or some who sincerely disagrees. I had an honest critique of the article so I expected some heat, but I was that there would be some sincere criticism of the idea. Rather, and shame on me for thinking otherwise, I’ve been called names and my criticism has been dismissed whole cloth. I’m a little surprised that this is as hurtful as it is and that I’m surprised that I am this pricked. Not exactly sure why I continue. Any case, that’s my reply. Good day, sir!

              yeah let me help you out with that

              we’ve been on the internet long enough to know how a debate shitlord says “go fuck yourself” and you came in fucking swinging

              who in the fuck introduces themselves to strangers like this? of course people are hostile

              anyway you failed to prove you’re not a debate shitlord so

              ban reason: debate shitlord

              bye
