You think she looks reasonable when she says "most research in the foundations of physics isn't based on sound scientific principles" with absolutely 0 meta-analyses presented as evidence? This is an extraordinary claim to ma

You are making her arguments for her. We should not "boil down" the arguments she makes. This is some of the arguments she makes. She does not ground it in particular, measured criticisms, aimed at particular researchers or depart

It's ok to have opinions. It's ok to have criticisms. Claiming that the whole of academia is failing is not a measured criticism. Claiming that the whole of physics academia is failing is not a measured criticism. Claiming that &q

The state of the art theoretical frameworks typically separates these into two distinct exploratory and discovery phases. The first phase, which is exploratory, is best conceptualized as utilizing an atmospheric dispersion device. An easily

No, I'm going to continue watching YouTube while also avoiding their ads. If they want to engage in an adversarial relationship then I will as well. Until there's another competitor in the space that provides the same value, I wil

Malicious AI seams are merely the tool wielded by the actual danger, which is the threat actors directing them towards a particular goal. I'm spreading the message because I want more socially conscious people to engage in this. Look i

Personally, for my own value system, I consider the gambling ads to be as bad as scam ads. I think we'll soon come to see the social harm of gambling ads to be as bad as tobacco ads. We should strive for a culture where people see an a

I'm not complaining that higher-quality advertisers aren't spending money trying to reach me. I'm saying the fact that the lowest common denominator ads are so hostile is reason enough to completely avoid them. This might be

I think this is a reasonable place to draw a bright, red line. It'll make us look unreasonable if we act unreasonably. What's really harming us is that we don't have a formalized value system from which to engage in rhetoric,

It's grim but understandable in a way. I was writing quickly but I can expound more on any point if you want. I don't think we're locked into it yet, but if you read into Curtis Yarvin then you will see he was extremely presc

If you're in America, there probably will not be a chill-out. Look into the philosophy of Curtis Yarvin, whom has been cited favorably by J.D. Vance and Peter Thiel. We are heading towards techno-fascism. The working population which w

I'm in America. I only see these scummy ads I talk about, and I assume it's because I'm extremely aggressive about preventing myself from being tracked and profiled. My friends made the horrible mistake of looking into crypto

I don't think it's a rationalization. I have two normie friends who were mostly fine seeing ads on the internet, until one night they saw one too many scum ads on YouTube. They asked me to help them install an adblocker. It was sp

I think wearing smart glasses from any ad-tech surveillance company ought to be considered anti-social, and we should normalize ostracizing people who wear these in public. Want to wear them in your own home? Fine. Don't record me. Thi

If they ran less hostile ads, people wouldn't be as hostile to watching their ads. Some of the ads they run are just ridiculous and awful. Ads for scams, soft-core porn ads, just the worst of the worst.

Logic is the study of what is true, and also what is provable. In the most ideal circumstances, these are the same. Logic has been decomposed into model theory (the study of what is true) and proof theory (the study of what is provable). So

Your initial rebuttal was "this is leftist piffle, conspiracy theory, and baseless accusations." It is not piffle. It is not a conspiracy theory, because no conspiracy was theorized about. It is not a baseless accusation, because

Which part, in particular, is nonsense? You consistently refuse to engage substantively, instead running away and offering insults. You said Christianity is a "very reasonable religion." I have made my argument for why this is not

It's cool that you saw it less as hyperbole and "more of a pedestrian inability to make a real case." I suppose it does take one to recognize one, your game is pretty similar to this description. It is not passive aggression.

I wasn't aware people could act so credulously in the face of obvious hyperbole. Do you really, truly, believe this poster to be making a positive claim about when Protestants did or did not exist? If so, I weep for your social compreh

Fact check: true. It's also completely up to the head of the NHS, who is currently noted drug enthusiast RFK Jr. Here's hoping he'll legalize LSD and mescaline! He's used enough mescaline and spiked enough people's
