  • dismiss any information merely because it emanates from a source they disfavor is the epitome of liberalism

    But there are sources that we’d doubt more, right?

    In this case, I think the info is decent, since other sources say similar stuff and it makes sense withp previous info/experience.

    Not related to science news, but I’m careful of sources with a right-wing bias in the context of general news. I’ve had experiences where they had exaggerated or twisted news. Not that left-wing sources are totally free of it, but it the scale n frequency in exaggeration seems different. And it often gets criticises by left-wing people too.

    So, I am more careful of those rightwing sources. Am I a liberal because of that?












  • Islam used to be the forefront of scientific and mathematical discovery.

    People of all religions have contributed to scientific growth.

    The average religious person and the person discovering scientific/mathematical stuff are generally different tho.
    Universal basic education has gained focus in many parts of the world, only relatively recently.

    I think improved scientific temper would obviously clash with many mainstresm religions.

    Presence of some supreme creator may not be proven or disproven, but I think the anti-evolution stuff and similar things in most mainstream religions would face more questions when scientific temper improves.

    And I’m not saying that non-religious people are safe from similar stuff too. Just that it is easily spread and maintained when you have a community on it.











  • The dictionary app shared here has pre-compiled dictionary files. The files can be edited and new entries can be added through some tools, but the app does not have that feature.

    Which dictionary apo do you use? Maybe it has some tools like that?

    If you’re looking for creating a whole new dictionary, then I think there maybe opensource tools for it on the net. Like writing your word and definition in a csv, xml or json file and converting it into some dictionary format.
    Pyglossary supports converting csv/xml/txt files to some of the popular opensource dictionary formats.
