I feel like the recent thread on Joe Rogan was a bit less "diversity of opinion" and more "a large crowd expressing fringe narratives".
While most people in other places were talking about Joe Rogan's support for ivermectin, telling people to avoid vaccines, or platforming the guy who calls pandemic response "mass psychosis", over here, the story was that Spotify was censoring him, and what an outrage that is.
- fallingknife 5y agoAt this point covid is endemic. This means that your probability of catching it is 1. "Mass psychosis" is a good term for continuing to impose restrictions on society which no medical experts think will halt the spread of the virus.
- asveikau 5y agoDespite good news lately I do not believe we're at endemicity quite, or that probably of catching is 1. It will probably take time for governments to discover and adjust to a changing situation. Aside from that, I have been close to people who suffer psychosis. I'd say you're pretty wrong on that too.
- fallingknife 5y agoI will concede that I'm using "psychosis" very casually here. It's absolutely compulsive, irrational behavior, though.
- MrMan 5y agothose HN-ers are just "curious" and "asking questions" just like the owners of this site like it.
