Calling all intellectuals

Calling all intellectuals!

I have made it a mission of mine to be in every reddit sub for every nation on the earth (or at least the ones in english).

I am trying to gauge interest in any who proclaim themselves to be experts in any category to join a groupchat (on the dinosaur of a platform known as Facebook).

What im looking for and why:

My whole life ive been interested in different countries and cultures and the idea of having an 18+ groupchat in which many nations have a bit of representation its a dream come true. Id love to have people who are educated and capable of deep discussion about various topics.

Criteria

  1. Consider yourself an expert in any field politics, philosphy, history, heck even experts in film music or theatre.

  2. You can take a joke. Its a fairly on task group chat however id say the only stuff that is censored as far as words go is any words pertaining to race or explicitly sexual material.

  3. You are respectful of different religions. The group chat is very commonly excercising various different belief standpoints and jokes as long as they are in good taste are perfectly acceptable

What to expect:

  1. Debates: these can range in a variety of topics from politics to history to science. And they can border on "heated" but at the end we are all just trying to learn and any oversteps will result in bans after a warning if course

  2. Diverse religious backgrounds id say the group is about 65% Christian 35% atheist but everyone in there is comfortable with sharing details about their religion free of ridicule aside from the lighthearted jokes.

  3. The group right now is majorly american but there has been a fair bit of canadians that have joined and left over the three years the groupchat has been around.

  4. Right now we have experts in the following categories

Cryptocurrency TV Shows and Pop culture Philosophy American Law World History Military History Video Game History Meteorology

The group is probably like 45% autistic savants so we pride ourselves on knowing our craft.

  1. Each month I post news articles from every nation's internet news source in alphabetical order usually a letter a day. And we monitor and disccus the conflicts happening abroad

  2. The group is 100% male which wasnt even by design thats just how its gone so far but there isnt a gender requirement one way or the other

The donts:

No excessive meme spam. I tend to allow discussions with GIFS but depending on how many join the chat, theres no need for excessive memes

No posting sexual or graphic material some mems walk the line but never cross it.

No racial slurs

The creator of the GC is the final authority on everything

The point of the GC is to engage and have fun. If somebody is going a month without at least reading the posts then you shouldnt have joined in the first place silly! Inactives are often removed after one month.

As of right now im wanting natives to whatever nation I post this in (as I intend to copy and paste) and depending on traction Im going to try and invite either the first people who respond or the most educated.

What's a good way to gain a deeper understanding of Burkina Faso's culture, politics, laws, and more?

Google searches and YouTube is are only allowing me to scratch the surface, it seems. Are there good websites for this stuff. I'll even take those that are not mainly in English.

Neo colonialism

Hi, I’m from Sweden and I am writing a essay about Thomas Sankara in social studies. I have ran into a problem. The problem is that I can’t find any sources about the neo colonialism in Upper Volta. My question is, was Upper Volta a victim to neo colonialism and was Jean Baptiste Ouedrago a French puppet.

Please answer with more than a yes and no.

Thank you very much!

Dans quel domaine les Burkinabe excellent dans la sous-région ?

Les ivoiriens ont la musique pour eux, les Sénégalais ont la lutte, les maliens ont leurs basins et cultures, qu'est-ce qui distingue les Burkinabe des autres pays?

Survey about your political worldview (18+; 15-30 mins to complete)

Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if anyone from any background who is interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ years old only) about your views of politics, society, and more.

Fill out the survey here: https://universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ICkX7mBre5IGpM

We are posting here because we hope to collect responses from a wide range of political perspectives and backgrounds. Please let us know if you would like a summary of your responses in comparison to others once the data collection is complete.

The survey takes 15-30 minutes to complete, and we are happy to respond to any queries or questions. Please private message us to avoid giving away the point of the study to others.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thank you very much for your time, we will be sure to post the results up here when they're ready.

Looking Dioula or Bambara-fluent people for remote work

Hello! Nice to meet you all.

I'm posting here to see if you may be interested or know someone who might want to participate in our remote Audio Data Collector project. The main task is to record prompts on your mobile phone, and the pay is 30USD for the entire task.

Although our project is looking for Dioula/Juula/Dyula speakers, we are also opening this to Bambara/Bamana/Bamanankan speakers as well. The details are available in this link below, but if you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me as well: https://likhacareers.recruitee.com/o/dyula-audio-data-collector

I work for a small company in the Philippines and was tasked to hire remotely, but I have no idea where to start. Questions and feedback are welcome :)
