    1. Does anyone use Framework laptops? What has been your experience?

      I'm looking to get a new laptop for when I want to go work at a coffee shop or something.

      I have seen the Framework laptops and like the idea of a modular computer you can upgrade or repair.

      I'm a little hesitant though. The last laptop I tried was to buy a Pinebook a year or two ago. I got it, turned it on once and it worked fine, but then after that it would just get a black screen when I powered it on. Some posts online indicated that it might be because the memory card wasn't seated properly and it might fix the problem to reseat it. But the tiny screws on the bottom were really tight and I ended up stripping one of them while trying to open it up, so now I just have a laptop I've used once collecting dust.

      I want to make sure I have an easier experience with my next computer. Can anyone attest to the reliability of the Framework 13?

    3. Intro to Carl Jung and Jungian Psychoanalytics

      Does anyone have any short-to-medium length content that clearly introduces the ideas of Jung? I don't mind it being dense philosophically, but there's sort of this deliberate obfuscation of ideas...

      Does anyone have any short-to-medium length content that clearly introduces the ideas of Jung?

      I don't mind it being dense philosophically, but there's sort of this deliberate obfuscation of ideas that Jungian content creators utilize towards some end.

      In philosophy, specific terms and jargon is necessary to ensure philosophical precision of the idea being presented. If one looks up said jargon, they can gain context about what's being communicated.

      As far as Jung content online goes, there's a lot of jargon being used, but I'd wager about 50% of it is made up on the fly. When looked up, the term often either doesn't exist, is an adhoc portmanteau of two random terms, or simply doesn't make sense within the context it's used. Why? It seems like they deliberately are obfuscating their ideas for seemingly no reason. Perhaps there's a perceived invulnerability to criticism if your position on basic ideas can't be nailed down?

      It seems that Jordan Peterson is the most prominent idea-obfuscator in this tradition, but I understand why he does it; some of his audience likely wouldn't care for the fact that he's likely what they'd describe as an atheist if you were able to pin down the ideas he conveys (e.g., Christ is but one of many manifestations of a Jungian archetype.)

      Kinds of content I'm looking for:

      • Newb friendly
      • Clearly communicates ideas
      • Philosophically precise
      • Critical, but not polemic (i.e., no "debunking" videos)
      • Video/audio/books preferred

      Thank you in advance (:

    7. Offbeat Fridays – The thread where offbeat headlines become front page news

      Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like careers, ad blocking and subaru. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was fascinated.

      But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!
