Does anyone else feel something really weird has happened to this website?

I was recently watching some videos on Khan Academy to refresh myself on some topics and I haven't been to that site in a few years. Sal Khan had a very strong inherent ability to explain topics by cutting through the bullshit and just giving you the essentials, but now it seems different. It's really subtle, but it's there. The best way I can describe it is that it seems like he now has a room full of "educators" insisting he explains things in a certain mainstream way that actually works against what made that site great.

The whole field of "education" in an academic sense has to be packed with the biggest retards on the planet that can still read and write where some dumb ass finds that in an informal, poorly structured study in one class room, putting clown wigs on their students improved their math scores by 1% so now everyone in the country has to wear a clown wig. KA used to be a site you went to get concise clarity, now it seems like the site is trying to be an online public school by applying public school philosophies towards education. Does anyone else feel the same?

Real talk, can the studies of the STEM fields ever create something as beautiful as those of the arts? (or even, of the humanities?)

The Divergence of the electric field of a capacitor

No.13733140 ViewReplyOriginalReport
I was examining the differential form of Gauss’s Law for electric fields and of course it states that the divergence of the electric field is directly proportional to charge density. But what about the situation of a capacitor? Between the plates the field has uniform magnitude and so the divergence is zero. How does my dumbass make sense of this?

science is literally just
>say something which cannot be disproven
>have people learn about the subject
>so they can perform mental gymnastics in trying to get around it, to meet current demands
>slowly closing the gap on what the person said, which cannot be disproven - or "moving the goalposts" to suit their answer and have something that can disprove it, to then move those goalposts closer ...
>as opposed to getting closer to the solution to the problem, meaning they create their own problem and move it so its closer to the original
