I wonder how much it has to do with the aspect of literary critique and interpretation in many Universities becoming more radical. Eg. Many Universities support a practice of literary interpretation that encourages pretty wild takes and exp

Blue checks typically mean large (sometimes rabid) twitter followings. Sometimes that’s fine but often their engagement in a topic can really derail it. Blue checks in practice mean more than just “verified account”. Side note: anonymity ca

Could have been more clear on that. Some of the accounts I follow are blue checks. What I meant is blue checks that are using their popularity to critique/support another issue very far afield of why they are a blue check. Eg. Famous a

Agree, just tribal signaling, “thing I thoughtlessly think is bad is bad” I feel the same about every bad weather event being “caused” by climate change in the media. The models predictions are so vague people could blame anything on climat

Capitalism has taken more people out of poverty than anything else on planet earth and produced incredible abundance and flourishing in the past 200 years. Socialism has failed every time it has been tried. (Also stop describing everything

Profit just means your produce more things of value than you consume. It is the first part of true sustainability. If it hurts the bigger org it might be cut but if it’s sustainable it wont need the support of the bigger org.

So you’re in favor of mandates along the lines of “Get the vaccine or you are fired” for marginal benefits? Would you be ok if this precedent was extended to other prevention areas? Eg. Maintain social distancing or you are fired (protests

Again, Is it more complicated than: maintain caloric equilibrium? Or are you about to make a bunch of Socio-economic and cultural justifications for obesity that you will not extend to the unvaccinated?
