This sounds like trying to do stuff in Excel? The computer isn't overheating but the amount of memory needed is very high which would make it run poorly. They might interpret that as overheating?

It also makes sense if they are on calling the entire computer "the hard drive" like grandma and the fans kicked on.

Literally every time someone dismisses Wikipedia, it's because they believe something crazy that Wikipedia told them is wrong.

As a reasonably experienced "data guy," this seems obviously laughable, but the discussion on X is scary. This guy is a savior in the MAGA world.

We can criticize and poke fun all day, but it doesn't matter much if our message isn't challenging the mindset of those with other opinions.

How do we make better use of our time to impact outside opinion?

We must make better memes

I'm not even joking, the world runs on memes now. It's fucking stupid, but we must shitpost to save ourselves

I agree some form of consistent opposition messaging is needed.

The maga world talks in consistent themes and terminology, which creates a psychological advantage. Unfortunately, it's playground psychology, but if that's the game being played you need to find a way to win at it.

I can't remember the particular phrase that was used, but I heard an argument recently that we need to be more like politicians going on an interview and ensure that we're more on message. For example, it's fairly obvious by now that economically, the problem is wealth inequality, but I see fairly surprisingly few people discussing that.
