>Guano mining in Peru was at first done with black slaves. After Peru formally ended slavery, it sought another source of cheap labor. In the 1840s and 1850s, thousands of men were blackbirded (coerced or kidnapped) from the Pacific islands and southern China. Thousands of coolies from South China worked as "virtual slaves" mining guano. By 1852, Chinese laborers comprised two-thirds of Peru's guano miners; others who mined guano included convicts and forced laborers paying off debts. Chinese laborers agreed to work for eight years in exchange for passage from China, though many were misled that they were headed to California's gold mines. Conditions on the guano islands were very poor, commonly resulting in floggings, unrest, and suicide. Workers experienced lung damage by inhaling guano dust, were buried alive by falling piles of guano, and risked falling into the ocean.

left one is low iq (me) the right is normal iq and more

 No.319648

>>319644
This specific example strikes me more as a hesitancy to disclose unneeded information than a poverty of speech. If other party does not express justifiable need to know some personal information, there is generally no good reason to disclose it.

 No.319649

>>319648
I agree, but see, this desire to keep language "optimal" and only ever give the minimal amount of information required, I think some could argue that is part of alogia, or part of the conditions that are associated with it (namely, autism).
I guess a normal brain, when asked a question, will automatically do some sort empathetic exercise to understand what the other person is really asking (beyond the words they have used) and respond accordingly.

 No.319650

>>319649
It's not so much about about optimizing language, as it is about reducing the attack surface. Security through obscurity of course should not be the cornerstone of your defense, but anything pertaining to personal data should generally be disclosed on need-to-know basis, least it be used against you. Even the bits that are of little import to yourself can still be used to gain trust of someone else who may know more about you.

If some medical or bureaucratic form has a box for someone to tick whether you have kids or not, there is no need to say their names and age, binary fact should suffice.

For example, knowing some guy kids' names and age, one can more reliably find their contacts in turn and through smaller effort of gaining trust (even with quality parenting, kids are generally easier to manipulate than more experienced adults) ask them to share parents' private keys, passwords, financial information or any other information of interest.

In this particular example, Edmond is well in puberty and probably have some rebelliousness in him. Should he have a fight with his parents, he can easily be swayed do something to hurt them.

And Alice is young enough to be approached via some social games and networks as one of her peers, offering to join some secret ARG, which through several reassuring steps can finally ask to disclose the target data.

>Once, an elderly general practitioner phoned me because of his severe depression. He could not overcome the loss of his wife who had died two years before and whom he had loved above all else. Now how could I help him? What should I tell him? I refrained from telling him anything, but instead confronted him with a question, "What would have happened, Doctor, if you had died first, and your wife would have had to survive without you?:" "Oh," he said, "for her this would have been terrible; how she would have suffered!" Whereupon I replied, "You see, Doctor, such a suffering has been spared her, and it is you who have spared her this suffering; but now, you have to pay for it by surviving and mourning her." He said no word but shook my hand and calmly left the office.

sorry for being slightly offtopic

anyone happen to know how i can turn this into an epub file so i can read this on my lil e-ink buddy?

probably by hoping i find a website version of this so i can copy and paste text because OCR on images is never as good as having text.

i tried it the other day with a website that promised to turn a wikipedia page into epub and it did work on pc but not on my lil device.

maybe it can be done by pasting the text into libreoffice(?) and turn the headline into chapters by using auto-format templates.

>>323618

i did work with libre office but for some reason the cover image is not being displayed, neither on the device nor in any of my programs on the computer. too bad.

i tried to make proper endnotes and depending on which program opens the epub, they are either displayed on the end of the page or at the end of the chapter.

using "styles" to declare part 1,2 and 3 as well as the chapter names did seem to work, though the first page with the title on it defaulted to "section 1"

i'll read it on the device though this epub business is way harder to get right then i expected.

Wikipedia is an awful source of information. Sometimes I read books and the summaries offered on Wikipedia don't describe the book at all. It is also awful for mathematics yet people keep using it.

i wish there was something like wikipedia but neutral and you can't have that when there is an army of unloved females, gays and trannies who will obey whoever pays them most to infiltrate everywhere and smear everyone who is not part of the establishment.

all i am using it for is like finding out names of cities and other stuff so basic they couldn't fuck it up. it's a real shame, it could have been so nice.

 No.323710

>>323709
It's been tried time and time before with things like RationalWiki and just regular paper Encyclopedias. The problem is the bar for what's considered a neutral position gets nudged around and inevitably leaves basic historical facts in the red zone.
>finding out names of cities and other stuff so basic they couldn't fuck it up
Dude even that kind of stuff brings political tug-of-war now with shit like the pronunciation of Kiev being mandated to follow Ukraine's preferred way, and Canadian cities being referred to by some made up Injun tribal name instead of the name of the colony that actually formed those cities.

root cause is that there are some people who are more important then others. they get to decide what is acceptable speech and they also get to decide who and what is shown optimistically as well es who and what is shown pessimistically.

someone who is liked will be shown as stunning and brave, challenging evil. someone who is disliked will be shown as stupid and crazy, a danger to be avoided and contained.

>Rationalwiki
Sorry me engrish.
Rationalwiki its a interesting place to learn about people or critics, media and bad thing about people or things they did or keep doing or thing around institutions.
They have a lot of info and links about religions and academical things around christianity, islam and other religions, cults, new age, gurues, frauds, science terms etc. This is their pure brute force and to me is more focused than wikipedia bacause they keep to cite and do a good reference to these things so you can get it or learn more.
There's more about science things and some specific jargon or methods that assholes and religious cultist and frauds use a lot.
Its like a edramatica roast people and troll but trying to be more gentle and serious at times so you can learn and dont just laugh.
Edramatica took damn serious with scientology and anonymous, its in the same way for a lot of articles of rationalwiki.
This is their more good part in my opinion.
>The problem
The problem with the site sometimes is the political fights between ideologies or ideas of users, this end in no-end debates in forum about articles like a Too liberal Feminist Commies with their herarchies of how think between them of things vs with rightist-endangered Atheist and common middle science people trying to do good articles without political dogma in it.
You can see this when happened the thing about gamergate and anita sarkesian (Edramatica is more good to give info about lolcows and "Angelic perfect people" with bitch-attention-whore behaviour), or when trump and Qgate articles start to made up, or when there's low biased articles about radical feminist behaviour or trans-attention-whores (the assholes of trans people) or the first manosphere articles and crab biased articles (they fixed these later with no bias to me, crab and crabdol and pills and mgtow have much difference in behaviour)
There're several articles about peoples or political ideas bacause of this, they know that is hard to make an article without good or bad BS so this end in two or three articles about same person or thing or idea or topic but made by another user with another perspective, info, ideology and with a fight in the forum about if the article of "Commiebritney" or "crabdombrandon" are not biased or good if have good references.
They try to keep in general these biased articles even if offend the commiebritney or crabdombrandon.
As example, there's articles about Libertarian ideas in good philosohical sense and there's articles just roasting it in a more marxist-lenist leftist or wathever around thinkers and etc.
Its the same for roast leftist articles and some are made by post-left and libertarians lol.
In general the good sense people check links and sites and know about the bias around the topic if is religious, political etc.
But maybe there're some out of place articles in another language or country origin, some are more good than english ones. Others are a shit totally biased using just one media info, like one about a presidency or goverment (like just using leftist new channels as info) there was an old article about Javier Milei using a fake new source by leftist as example. But that happened bacause its a total new thing to do an article about a new dude anyone know and they just grab leftist fake new sites to damage the image (and yep, still the dude later managed to say a lot of bizarre things maybe that are not fake lol)
Its kinda hard to tell the english dudes these links can be fake or made up bacause they still see you with bias and you need account and some level inside forum etc.
Identity politics are a shit.
The other problem is broken links but at this is like edramatica.
