Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 week agoIn certain forums, unless I’m very well-informed about a topic, I’ve learned to shut the fuck up unless asking questions, and to ask them with humility.
This is a core principle in Communist organization. “No investigation, no right to speak.” As a consequence, discussion tends to be better-informed in my experience.

Yes.
If I invest effort into figuring it out for myself and demonstrate that effort in the quality of my questions then nearly every teacher will at least match my investment. In the US teachers are so starved for good students that one-on-one education is free, from philosophy professors to diesel mechanics. One doesn’t even need be past the “nonsense” stage, only recognize their status and ask what pieces of the puzzle they’re missing.
