No it's not. Not at all. Everything risk is increasing exponentially. BSL-4 labs are expanding 1 per year, or around 2% extra risk. CRISPr and CRISPr cas9 are only 10 and 20 years old. How much added risk is that per year? 10,000%? The

Naw. Nobody wins from increased instability. Seems to me the playbook is obvious. You see in politics all the time. Everyone knows the truth but pretends otherwise until the proper time when things have settled down and the truth can be all

It's simpler. Tools x labs x pathogens and funding x risk of escape = risk. ALL categories are going up. Ergo, risk is going up exponentially. No need for conspiracies. Just a proper parsing of the words "lab leak"

Very astute! The First! Lab escape happened in 2021. CRISPr was invented in 2000-2005ish. CRISPr cas9 around 2014. BSL-4 labs have gone from 40 to 60ish in the last 25 years with another coming online almost every year. BSL-3 labs are virtu

Not sure where you have been. Transgender people are the most oppressed people on the planet. Even their body rejects them. If able bodied, cis hetero conformists don't understand this, they are bigots. If able bodied, cis hetero confo

Yes. Absolutely. Why not get it over with now and debate it now? That is the end result of where society is going, but "the powers that be" don't want it to happen to fast. Like right now. Or the plan might get ruined. Canada

Not sure what's being squabbles over here, but certainly whoever wrote this story doesn't deserve to get paid. (for failing to explain anything sufficiently) The definition of news has changed. Big organizations get big stories so

Except tesla is expecting and has been achieving 10% density increases in the last few years. Do this for 8 years, and you get double, same as the new battery tech that's gonna take 10 years. 1st gen: 276 Wh/kg (2022) 2nd gen: 305

Wow. I've gone what I thought was hardcore on carnivore. Beef is king, and I would ask for scrap fat every time I'm at the butcher or grocer. Would render down fat, and save the "cracklin" for burger toppings. One of my

So AI must now be fed racial information, and make race equalization it's prime objective. AI is evil, and the enemy of the people before its even here. As an aside, I'm going to start checking diversity boxes on government paperw

Interesting. I said covid overreach would be the the death of climate science as well. But not before the tools used during covid are brought to bear once again but on a far larger scale. Only the covid vaccine failure had the power to stop

If you can hold your breath and punch yourself in the balls, you can forget about the hiccups and they even seem to go away.

Kids use this trick to get high. Unfortunately if they are used to washed batches of poppies seeds and then get a poorly washed batch, it is often enough to kill them when consuming their normal quantity. The LD50 is only about 4x the recre

Dumb. The guy got an education for $5250 dollars and didn't make anything of his career. Also, it's considered good form to make the minimum payment on student debt as most all other debt is more expensive. Hell, you can put money

But economics Trump everything you just said in terms of living standards. And the issues she is talking about won't affect her children. Sea level rise is currently a foot per century. Rainfall patterns are not relevant. The rain fall

These transgressions didn't end in irreversible mutilation, increased racism, or astronomical depression and suicide rate increases. These new age woke transgressions have far far far worse outcomes than the pledge of allegiance, which

(fact checks appreciated. This is back of the napkin math that I've only spent an hour researching and putting together, and some of the terminology I may have wrong, like production VS capacity etc, leading to wrong conclusions.) Neat

I like your definition of woke. It should probably elaborate that being woke is generally something that is virtuous yet harmful. A self defeating, short term position. Equity = wealth destruction and no equity. Transgender = mutilation and

I would settle for even speech to text that stays local. Agree, an AI assistant that doesn't enrich google or whoever scoops my queries would be even better.

I understand why nature would ask these scientists these questions, but alas, it's a pretty vapid exercise that only outs the IPCC as a fully captured ideological organization rather than a scientific establishment. Take the first prof

So no one wants to put money in ESG. It auto-happens. And you've astutely noticed people are actively taking their money out of it. How is this not unethical? An investment banker is making low return investments that a high percentage

I think the idea is that when using ESG, the return WILL be less than it otherwise would be. Simply by having reduced options. Then because malfeasance is covered up with platitudes. No longer do companies have to try to be profitable, they

“The problem of saying ‘I’m gonna get infected to get immunity’ is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die,” Murray said. “Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?”
