This seems to be an Appeal to Ethos. I don't think that would be justified. Additionally, making unsupported claims is just that. Anyone could anonymously claim anything, but we don't give the same credence to every claim. There&#

I see. For instance, it might not have been them who made it up, it could have been someone else. However, given all of the information known at the time, there's little evidence to suggest that anyone aside from them was responsible f

While I understand that you're not equivocally saying that their claims are true, but you are absolutely appealing to someone's reputation as an authority on the topic to suggest what they say is "worth paying attention to in

I would be incredulous of any author who doesn't provide evidence. Do you agree that the burden of proof should be applied equally to all authors regardless of reputation?

This looks like an Appeal to Authority.

I think there's a trivial semantic difference between the two terms. The assertion that someone made up a story is the logical conclusion to the assertion that there is no evidence to back up their claims.

>One thing to keep in mind is that counter assertions have been made without evidence. Are you familiar with Christopher Hitchens? That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Until the author provides

I get really upset when claims are made without evidence to support them. It might be a moral failing of mine, but for some reason I really loathe when assertions are made without evidence.

That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. Do you see any sources for their claims?

Is this about the quack doctor?

I wonder if there's a targeted misinformation campaign.

My point isn't that people forgo resources but better utilize the efficiency and technology we've developed. We can maintain and better the quality of life for everyone. For example, at one point the US was wasting 51% of fresh fo

Those are all great issues that definitely deserve attention. However, they're not problems that are caused by population. Everything you've listed are problems of the economic and cultural systems currently in place. None of thes

Shorts don't expire, but the short sellers can call in on that short and there's also interest at exceptionally high rates.

Noticed? Doesn't one need evidence to notice something or does imagination suffice?

Businesses are in no way obligated to not discriminate (so long as it's not a reason that's due to a protected class). It seems like you disagree.

Sounds like an explanation of why labor costs are a employer's largest expense.

Hours of asses in chairs isn't really a measurement of goals being meet. The quality of the time spent is what gets the goals met.

I think the term uncomfortable people is a flippant and trivial term when it comes to the details listed in that link.

A reduction of symptoms but not a statistical reduction in viral load? That's an odd combination of outcomes.

None of which invalidates the importance of peer review. If anything, it means that more should be taking place.

I'm not sure why you're commenting about locusts on a cicada thread.

My intention was to say that the exponent describes the characteristics of a change, not to imply that the effects are only positive.

by Haunted_Cabbage 6y ago
Given that a negative exponent makes a result smaller, I'd say that it describes rate at which it'll change.

That's a great question. While I'm not the person who you asked, I'd like to get some examples from you. Which other pandemic outbreak are you referring to? Or are you referring to some communicable disease which isn't a
