Who said anything about challenging views all or most of the time?

The issue with constructive dissent is that if someone perceives an initial idea as bad, it cannot be dismissed or criticised; it has to be built on. Do we want things to be built on flawed foundations? We should be able to say “no” without being cast out from our own community.

I think we need to either redefine safe spaces, change people’s expectations of them, or get rid of them entirely.

This is a very extreme example. I’m saying that more nuanced discussion and differences in views from within a community struggle in safe spaces.

I understand the concept. I’m saying that this way of working creates echo chambers.

Unfortunately, a lot of these safe spaces become echo chambers. People don’t want to have their views challenged or try to see things from other perspectives. Many attempts at constructive dissent as mentioned in this post are discouraged and are generally unwelcome.

UoPeople doesn’t charge for online college courses, course materials, or annual enrollment. Pay our minimal fees as you go, never upfront.

What are these minimal fees, and what are they for? I’m always skeptical of these online learning providers that imply they are free but don’t quite say as much.

I think the writers are using that kind of language to show the personality of that character. He doesn’t want to admit (or can’t see/believe) his girlfriend left him because he was a bad partner, and so explains it by saying she became a lesbian. By doing this he absolves himself of any blame, fault, or responsibility for the relationship failing.

This just feels like nothing more than marketing :/

They did see the criticism; in fact a lot of it was aimed directly at them. But they thought that they were right.
