I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

I plan on eventually boycotting English as much as I can. Both because of what global English represents, and to counteract the massive international pressure to do everything in English and its consequences.

The fact that you don't know what Grimm's Law is means you don't actually know English.

That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

Be careful.

Nice whataboutism.

It helps to remember that the mind is not a truth machine, but a survival machine.

I recommend learning some psychology. The more you know about how the mind works, the easier it is to understand and spot logical fallacies, both in yourself and others.

Edit: also, you should practice those critical thinking skills instead of just keeping them in theory. You could apply them to past situations, for example.
