No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

No.
Political theory is the exact opposite of fun and exciting.
You don't want to learn, you want to be entertained. Those are two entirely different things.
You are basically asking how to become a well-trained athlete by sitting on the couch. That's not how any of this works. You can't understand something without doing the work involved in understanding it.
Learning isn't easy and entertaining, it's work.
I beg to differ.
A good teacher finds a way to excite the student and stir their imagination.
I've learned plenty of things because I associated it with something I enjoyed.
I agree! To keep with the athlete analogy that was used earlier, a teacher is like a coach.
You don't need them really, you could put in all the work yourself and get results. But a good teacher/coach can help you set priorities, avoid common setbacks and keep you on track so you're getting the most from your time.
Learning something new is never easy enough to not require some effort, but that doesn't mean you can't make it way less difficult and enjoyable with the right kind of help.
No, a good teacher guides you. You still have to do the work.
If you don't do the work, you learn nothing.
Passively consuming podcasts and youtube videos isn't learning.
If you enjoy doing it, it's not "work."
I don't want to get into a long argument over definitions of terms.
We can agree that effort is required, but effort can be done joyously.
You couldn't pay anyone to match the efforts Olympic athletes, who happily do the work
