I am going to give witchblr SOME TEXTS.
That will do more to assist in your discernment, and research endeavors, than any half baked selenite dildo packin *tripe*-selling tutorializing qwack bullshit you will ever read from llewellyn publications or any of that other horse shit they talk forever in this subculture.
Within these texts you will find the skills you need not only to assimilate and verify information effectively but how to design a practice in such a way that you (with repeated experiments) derive replicable results. AND avoid common pitfalls such as being radicalized into a crystal boofing cult or white supremacy or whatever AND teach you to assess incoming arguments for red flags AND maybe even help de-radicalize that one cousin that got on the witchtalk and ended up a terf.
AND
It’s applicable to any practice. Any religion. Any discussion. Ever. Anything.
Are you ready?

"Sufficently Nice" as a description of a function observed in the wild in a mathematics presentation.
I wonder if there will eventually be a formalization of "niceness" in functional analysis, or if there already is.

Published: Oct 7, 2021
Recently, the Urban Institute, a highly respected think tank, published an article online headlined “Equitable Research Requires Questioning the Status Quo.” The article argues that “long-standing values and practices rooted in racism, ableism, and classism are ingrained in the fabric of research, leaving many researchers unaware of the harm they are causing. Researchers can counteract harmful aspects of these practices by sharing power with the people and communities they study.”
To help researchers do better, the post lists three “Harmful Research Practices.” Two of them are ‘objectivity’ and ‘rigor.’ This seems strange. Aren’t objectivity and rigor the hallmarks of any decent knowledge-producing body? The Urban Institute, after all, touts itself as “a nonprofit research organization that believes decisions shaped by facts, rather than ideology, have the power to improve public policy and practice, strengthen communities, and transform people’s lives for the better.” It’s unclear what the words ‘unbiased’ and ‘authoritative’ and ‘facts’ could possibly mean in the absence of ideals like objectivity and rigor, even if, as is true of literally every human ideal, these concepts can be abused to justify malevolent acts or beliefs.
(To be clear, the post explicitly calls objectivity and rigor “Harmful research practices.” It does not say something like “they are generally good things that can be abused.” If the post did say that, there would be no reason for it to exist, because this is a very obvious point. But whenever these sorts of arguments arise, someone pops up to say, “Well, really what they’re saying is…” No! That’s a motte-and-bailey tactic and it’s annoying and we should glide on right past it.)
This explicit denunciation of objectivity and rigor and other crucial intellectual concepts isn’t new, unfortunately. It’s been percolating in liberal spaces for a while — particularly in education. Back in 2019, for example, I wrote about a slide from a training given to administrators in the New York City public school system which described ‘Individualism,’ “Worship of the Written Word,” and, yes, ‘Objectivity,’ among other things, as elements of “White Supremacy Culture.” (The New York Post originally broke that story, reporting that some administrators, unsurprisingly, were not happy with the training.)

The idea that the people with “lived experience” are just as qualified as those studying a subject objectively is like saying that you know your cancer better than the oncologist with 16 years of medical training on the subject. It couldn’t, for example, be that a community has accepted and stuck to an answer or solution entirely through tradition or authority? What was their methodology? Because if you’re going to be suspicious of one methodology, then you need to be suspicious of them all, for consistency’s sake. (”Consistency” probably falls under the white supremacy of “rigor” though, huh?)
And it means deciding consciously and right up front, that the truth, no matter what it might be, is not the priority. That sensitivities and feelings supersede the pursuit of knowledge, and certain answers are presumed to be unacceptable. Which is no better than presupposing the answers, as any religious apologist does.
It’s particularly gross, in a “Noble Savage” fetish kind of way, to assume that such a community’s “ways of knowing” don’t stand up to objective and rational scrutiny, or that they aren’t based on those same principles in the first place. There’s a built-in assumption that they don’t stand up, but it’s wrong to look too closely.
The Urban Institute’s process is reliable and repeatable: Find things that undermine your ideology and activism. Label and associate them with something bad to demonize them and create alarm. Redefine the bad thing. Repeatedly call people the bad thing to discourage them from doing the undermining things -- until the bad thing becomes watered down and meaningless.
It worked for Xians. They made rock music and science tool of the Devil, and therefore musicians and people who want to teach science are evil and to be opposed. So many things are now the work of the Devil that not only can any Xian claim anything to be the work of the Devil, but nobody actually cares.
You know you’re through the looking glass when you have to ask “real white supremacy, or the imaginary objectivity-is-white-supremacy kind?” As with calling everything “trauma,” this obscures identifying and tackling - not to mention, provides cover for - actual white supremacy, instead of obsessively piddling around with the imaginary kind.

Ethical subjectivism appeals powerfully to human nature, however, it simply cannot withstand the rigorous logical analysis any formal ethical theory warrants.

True joy and satisfaction come as a byproduct of the attainment or overcoming of difficult and enduring things.
All of those fleeting frivolities being chased and hits of instant gratification\validation are an illusion. The creed is asceticism, virtue, and choosing short term displeasure over elusive pleasure. Friction on any level strengthens character.

I'm a bit worried about the rigor of my schedule for next year (I'm taking 4 aps-- ap chem, bc, ush, and latin) and i'm not too sure if i can manage to do well because i also want to self-study two other ap exams. any advice?
Response from Penelope:
I think if you don't self-study two other exams, this is a level that is at least manageable albeit still pretty difficult. But if you add two other exams to the mix (or really even one), you're going to have a rough time. Don't spread yourself so thin — maybe you could be getting 5s on all four of the exams for your classes, but you end up sacrificing all your scores and get no 5s with six exams on your plate.
I am not a fan of giving advice on what to do or not to do (because it's your own life, after all), but don't make yourself hate your decisions by the time AP week comes around junior year... even four exams is a lot.
