@St_Rev @GabrielDuquette @simplic10 I feel like the comparison is not to an academic article but to, say, a NYT opinion column.
@GabrielDuquette @simplic10 A lot of people seem to believe that their IA activity is important and meaningful. It isn't. Not at all.

@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette@simplic10 Important for what purpose? Meaningful to whom? -
@shlevy@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette Many internet args are abt improving one's model of the world (economy, politics, science, health...). -
@simplic10@shlevy@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette this seems about as clear-cut an example of "x is not about y" as any -
@tipsfromkatee@shlevy@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette There is some wheat in the chaff. Args are status contests but not always vacuously so. -
@simplic10@shlevy@St_Rev@GabrielDuquette if the wheat percentage is low enough, one should eat metaphorical rice instead
