I’m not drawing conclusions - you invented that claim. The data I’m referring to is available in several other studies, with regards to estimated myocarditis rates in young men. But if you agree with me that it’s not unreasonable to think t

Not for an emergency use drug that doesn’t maintain herd immunity for a disease that is minimally harmful to children and is under immense selective pressure to break out of the vaccine. Maybe you’ve got a bad mental model because of the wo

Depends on who and when. The idea of vaccinating my young kids in late 2022 is an absurd proposition to me personally - and if the state mandated it, we would leave. This will change once we understand what is happening with these fatalitie

For a long time this theory always made the most sense to me, and frankly I assume I must just be missing something since it’s so obviously criminal if there was a chance this was true that it wasn’t blasted from the rooftops from the CDC (

You’re just cherry picking - there have been plenty of people raising basic concerns about the bioethics of mandating an emergency use medicine using a new technology for a rapidly evolving respiratory virus. There have also been prominent

The data on myocarditis has been clear and significant for quite some time: 1 in approximately 5000 young men under 40 by shot two. Without a full understanding of the underlying mechanism of action, we can’t be that confident of number of

The US executive branch attempted to make it so that your unvaccinated friend had to choose between taking the vaccine or being able to work at most companies.

False, the idea that pure net deaths is the only way to think about all that happened is the common thread that people have been clinging to for far too long. It is time to wake up, and remember principles of bioethics, the risk of authorit

I agree with my sibling here is that your confidence is misplaced that we did not kill many teenagers unnecessarily.

The former group has been condemned, banned, ostracized, and dehumanized. To the degree any of them were acting on bad faith or in violation of their oaths, yes they should be condemned. But the deepest crimes lie elsewhere, by those in pow

I’m not jumping the gun - the net deaths can be negative yet it is still the case that what we witnessed was a massive, arguably unprecedented failure of medical ethics, the defense of body autonomy, the scientific process, the culture of h

The vaccines were and still are mandated for people not at risk of severe disease, and myocarditis has been framed as a side effect not worth worrying about despite the fact that it literally can kill you. Not to mention without understandi

The people who are pretending to care about free speech now by supporting doxxing efforts are way more hypocritical than anyone who supports free speech making an exception for doxxing efforts.

It’s funny how even despite the fact I didn’t address this situation here to try to speak generally people inevitably found there way back to Musk - but the entire point of doxxing is you take public information and repackage it and focus i

Correct I believe that’s literally where the term came from - it’s aggregating the full set of accessible information about a person into a document for sharing it and helping people locate them in meatspace.

by gfodor 4y ago
This is such a ridiculous take. It’s widely considered doxxing if you republish public information that makes it easy to find a person’s actual location. Without getting into the weeds on this specific issue, the idea that any public inform

Ah cool, I see now what was actually going on here - shame on me for responding on good faith.

Coming up with scenarios is just an invitation to get into the weeds. The situation to me reduces down not to the jet per se but the fact that it’s basically a way to know with high confidence exactly where he is located. It’s not hard to i

I was responding to what you wrote in your post. With regards to free speech principles, I think the question you are asking is if the rule against this kind of thing in the Twitter rules is in conflict with the principle of free speech. (S

The principle of free speech is about protecting the marketplace of ideas. Broadcasting a person’s whereabouts continuously in a subscription feed is legally protected speech obviously but it’s not obviously a violation of the motivation fo

Pull vs push. The model where a person’s jet is posted on Twitter is one where the information can go viral and get pushed to everyone. It is a hugely different situation in terms of distribution and expected impressions.

by gfodor 4y ago
Their def is a higher threat when the information about an individual’s jet is tweeted out continuously, each time subjecting it to risk of going viral. Distribution and risk are connected.

by gfodor 4y ago
Dozing a person’s whereabouts isn’t free speech - yes I know you can fish this information out but it’s obvious this is intended to make it easy to figure out where he is. I’m amazed at the replies to this thread arguing this is a speech is

Another good time to remind everyone that the inventor of the maser (which led to the laser), Charles Townes, was discouraged by his department chair (allegedly): "Look, you should stop the work you are doing. It isn't going to wo

Like he said that was just one technique - he was probably doing it to show viewers something they may not already know, like using a regex. The technique I would use for this is the one that requires the least thinking and the one I usuall

You are jumping to conclusions and it’s leaking into your framing like using the word “regurgitation”
