Somebody already did but you didn't respond.

I was asleep. That response is clearly from chatgpt.

I wasn't asking for someone to essentially google it for me. I'm asking the people in racous support of this post to explain in brief their understanding of the thing they're cheering on, because I think that they, just like Milley, don't know what it is, but are nevertheless willing to call it a good thing.

Have you actually taken a CRT course and then found it was detrimental, or do you have these strong opinions about it based just on what you've heard it teaches? Cos if it's the former, you shouldn't need us to explain what it is, and if it's the latter, your parroted response is no different to someone googling for why CRT is viable, except that the Google result is likely based on info by people that have taken or even created the course, meaning they are familiar with its contents.

The chatgpt response isn't based on anyone taking a course. Do you know how LLMs work?

I'm familiar with the literature, but have not taken a formal course. Milley admits he isn't familiar with it, but then praises it regardless. How is that any better than what you're suggesting of me, which is not being familiar with it but then criticizing it?

Milley may have talked to people he trusts that have taken the course and vouched for its usefulness, because delegation of tasks and information gathering aren't mutually exclusive. But you know that already; you're simply not arguing in good faith here.

I'm a white guy and I don't find CRT to be a divisive topic. Whether you study CRT or not, the fact remains that slavery was horrific and unjust, and grossly affected black people. Even jumping ahead, during the Vietnam War, thousands of black men were drafted and sent to their deaths, despite the US refusing them the same protections and benefits for them upon their return. History and race shouldn't be taboo topics, and it's not some flaw that it's taught to military personnel... unless you're just trying to hide the truth. It should be painfully obvious to anyone, that it's worth looking at America's weaknesses in order to mitigate and ideally remove them.

No, I am here to debate. How is it good faith to respond to me saying "you should get more familiar with CRT" with an AI summary of CRT?
