I submit these nine theses to Wikipedia’s community and to the world. I do this, as Martin Luther said when he posted his famous 95 theses, “Out of love for the truth and the desire to elucidate it.”

How Wikipedia Smears Conservatives
Wikipedia continues to affirm its commitment to neutrality. This has become a running joke. Maybe the most persuasive way to show that Wikipedia is filled with bias is just to cite a lot of examples; some of the most effective examples take the form of personal criticism, rising in the worst cases to libel.

A dialogue with a chatbot
The following is a dialogue I recently had with a chatbot which shall remain nameless. I was curious about the extent to which the chatbot was aware of itself, and if it would acknowledge its errors and give me a cogent explanation of how it arrived at its errors. If you find this interesting, or

Here are twenty more free movies, reviewed. My habit is to watch mostly older movies for 30 to 60 minutes at a stretch after dinner. One gets through a lot of old black-and-white movies that way. Here is the first set of reviews. Here is my rubric: Enchantment (1948). 3. IMDb: 7.2. I remember liking it

(Currently) Free Movies I Enjoyed

Against Cannibalism
UPDATED; first published August 25, 2019. For further evidence of a rising interest in cannibalism, see this Twitter thread. I’m going to go out on a limb and declare that eating people is wrong. Psychologists Jared Piazza and Neil McClatchie, however, appear to believe this position is just a little bit unenlightened. If we are

If Truth Is Complex, Why Is Fact-Checking So Simplistic?
For the last several years, powerful media and government organizations have been sounding the alarm with increasing urgency about what they are pleased to call “disinformation.” Defined in various ways, the main thing about disinformation is that it is somehow obviously, provably false, and this falsehood matters—if society continues to believe “disinformation,” bad things will
