@jonathanstea Science is a process, not a being that cares and certainly not an authority. In fact, it is a process that starts with the premise that there is no final authority on any subject. There is no consensus. There is no “the science”. Doesn’t loving science mean embracing its essence?

Complex systems pop quiz: if nobody has been able to build a computer model that can reliably predict the outcome of the Super Bowl with its simple rules and tiny group of players, what are the chances that we can reliably model all of global society & the weather in 2030-2100?

A helpful reminder for us all, but directly openly at myself: I've never met anyone insulted into changing their mind. That doesn't mean that insults are never valuable. But it does mean that their value is very, very rarely about direct persuasion.

It’s almost impossible to be more wrong than this guy. I mean, every word coming out of his mouth is horseshit including “the” and “and”. It’s impressive. It’s also depressing that this kind of crank cult nonsense finds so many receptive ears.

Paying it forward for this molto fantastico film. As a proud American of Italian descent, whose family came here in Mother Cabrini’s time, this felt like a love letter. But not just to us… to all immigrants and to the best of America, warts and all.

Pay it Forward for Cabrini on Angel Studios

By Paying it Forward to Cabrini, you help audiences see this deeply moving and monumental movie for free. Help us get this movie to as many people as possible.

Question: for how many more years will it need to be the case that women outperform men in the aggregate on every metric they voluntarily choose to pursue before we end female status as a “protected class” in civil rights law. The case for maintaining that status is evaporating.

We are society bereft of adults. This is educational malpractice to the point of inducing mental illness. Literally. And yes, I mean LITERALLY. Social-justice-obsessed girls have seen the highest rates of mental health collapse. Social media + “social justice” = toxic.

@Noahpinion What has happened is the value proposition has utterly collapsed while the environment has become dramatically more hostile to at least half of the country’s beliefs. A majority of students feel they can’t speak their mind at “university”. What’s the point then?

“Of color” is a ridiculous, definitionally racist classification that belongs in the infantile taunts of children along with “I know you are but what am I”. Striving towards a colorblind ideal is enlightened. This however, is simply Stone Age barbarism with a smile.

What is the #1 lesson kids learn from group projects: 1. How to collaborate with others. 2. How to divide and conquer a problem. 3. Everyone's unique strengths and weaknesses. 4. All of you are lazy / stupid, so I guess I have to do this whole thing myself while you free-ride.

The “stop having kids” website is amazing. The grotesque narcissism. The zero-sum marxian nonsense. The AI-generated dystopian imagery. The kids in masks outside. Is it a psyop designed by clever right-wingers looking to eradicate wokism in a generation? Politics is hereditary.

Can someone remind me why "libertarians" are getting blamed for anything from both the left AND right!?! We have a wildly more regulated society today than in 1950, or 1920 economically. Talk about attacking straw men. So right-wingers think industrial policy is super cool now?
