Copy or mimic work of people you admire. Pick one thing and focus on that one thing. Take less time to make decisions. Be okay with not making the perfect decision or doing perfect work and detach yourself from the outcome. Just do it and m

I exercise care and critical judgement in choosing my sources of information, and do my best to be educated and aware. So no, I don’t prove your point. You just dislike the facts I state.

I think I'm confused, then. > If you want to drive a car, you have to proof you are able to do so. Why not demand the same if you want to vote? Not sure if you meant this as a rhetorical question, an ironic one, or a real suggestion

What if the President of the United States suddenly started supporting flat earthers? I think suddenly then they would be able to poison the well. Science is a bad example because the process of science can be quantified. We can argue abo

Good question and the answer is no one knows how to create rules about who is or isn’t fit to vote (beyond the most basic things like age, and even with that there’s an interesting history) without also giving so much power to whomever is a

You are trying to ignore facts. Fact: - He never shared his tax returns - He is a sexual predator - He supports white supremacy - He’s incredibly corrupt Let’s talk about facts.

tl;dr You assume both side argue in good faith. When one side doesn’t argue in good faith they can hack our classic understanding of freedom of speech. We need a word for flooding a space of discourse with so much noise that the truth is ob

The problem is in this case “reporting about it” literally means “spreading baseless lies”. Since as others have said we’ve now seen in court that the Trump administration and their cronies had shit. Furthermore, it’s “spreading baseless li

Facts are being discussed. They’re being discussed on CNN. The New York Times. Fox News. In courts of law. And actually, when the facts are discussed in courts of law what we find every time is that there is no evidence of fraud in any me

You’re missing my point. A Russian influence operation to support the Trump campaign actually happened. This is a fact supported by evidence which bears up under examination. There is no evidence of electoral fraud or whatever nonse

You're assuming equivalence between the two. What matters is evidence. Facts. Logic. Reason. The two simply are not equivalent. Check out what Wikipedia says about the Mueller Report: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

It's a tricky area. The challenge is how to deal with bad actors who use the rules of the game to undermine the game itself. We also have to acknowledge the context in which this is occurring; the people claiming fraud are also threate

Love it - only half-joking. Take advantage of a large population of healthy young men under close medical supervision and government access to good LSD in order to run a good experiment to see if micro dosing has positive cognitive effects.

“Based on science” means using science as a core part of the decision making process. It sounds like you actually agree with what I said, but also misunderstood.

If the effects are systemic it doesn’t matter if there is an “organized system”. In fact we have a word for that and that word is “culture”. No one explicitly organizes it. You use knowledge and reason, not to seek truth, but to occlude it
