Please don’t flame me, this is an honest question. Why is this unethical and for whom? The vaccines work, so parents who choose to vaccinate their kids will be protected. Parents who don’t trust the vaccine for whatever reason, they feel st

I am surrounded by people in my daily life who are celebrating this change, I can tell you exactly why. The establishment has done very little to try and address concerns from vaccine skeptics. Their response is mostly one of condescension

Nuclear energy is the obvious solution to climate change. We have enough fuel to power all of humanity for thousands of years. The waste is not a problem due to recycling and new reactor designs. It was never really a problem in the first p

Israel is trending up, TFR of >3. They have actually turned their low birth rates around after a period of low rates. They are a sign that this trend of declining birth rates is not eternal and can be reversed.

Sounds like she’s a mean drunk? Or maybe she has her own trauma that you’re not aware of. Sort of a dehumanizing picture you paint. It sounds like your broader point is that conservatives are all stupid and motivated by hatred. I kind of fe

True, but also there is a commonly accepted rule in economics where taxing something disincentivizes consumption of that thing. Usually when you lift taxes on something you will see a rise in consumption on that thing. But it remains to be

The UK has people in prison for tweets and saying mean words. We do not have that; the first amendment is not a myth. You called me a dilettante, I claim that is hate speech. It meets all the (current) criteria for hate speech. Do you think

There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only speech. “Hate speech” can be (and usually is) applied to whatever type of speech the people in power want to silence.

The cost to have one child via surrogacy is about 200k right now. That is simply not an option for the vast majority of people. Some people go that much into debt just for the chance to have one child. There is massive upside here, people w

There are many places in the US where you can buy a house for less than 50k. If you want prices to drop in popular areas then we have to make it easy for people to actually build houses and increase supply in popular areas. Of course giving

Elon has stated that he wants Grok to be “maximally truth seeking”. But I don’t think he realizes how much trouble that is going to land him in with powerful people. This is a taboo topic which will land you in a lot of hot water if you spe

All corporate taxes are passed onto customers, you are just arguing against all corporate taxes. Taxes will fund the roads and Medicare/Medicaid. Don’t you want the ultra wealthy mega corps to pay their fair share?
