My summary: in social science, measurements are coarse which means the statistics cannot evaluate subtle changes. In math, logic is very precise so subtle changes can be measured. The author makes a point that both social science people and

Sounds great. I'm sure there's checks in place to ensure the smart contract can't have different logic for small amounts and large amounts. Right?

Newton and Einstein both seem to be on the side of hidden variables, so I'm not sure if it's unpopular among the elites. I have a lot of trouble imagining any experiment which could completely rule out every other influencing fact

I object to the term "supernatural". It means more like "supermaterial" or "super-harnessable-in-an-experiment-by-humans". It has well known limitations. Regarding speculation, that assumes there isn't ste

Physics is based on what can be measured objectively. In other words the probability could be an approximate description of a real (and perhaps knowable) yet un-objectively-measurable process. The idea "everything that is natural can o

Cool. This makes sense as a confounding factor. For what it's worth, Itajai in southeastern region Brazil has the lowest rate of parasitic infections among the regions at 37%. (your [1]) Probably can't be equated this easily, but

I would like to know whether the people took ivermectin or not maybe via survey. The drug was very popular in Brazil, I don't imagine people would be absolutely required to go to the certain place to pick it up.

I read the city had high mortality from the beginning of the pandemic[0]. Would it be a bad case if the population happens to be more aged etc? Is the falsified data just the off by one in deaths among the under 30 cohort or is there more?[

Thanks. Not sure if this critique counts as shredding. It's mostly A) needs to meet XYZ higher quality bar B) small mistakes in computations. In this world anything can be put to a higher bar and small mistakes are expected.. etc Is an

I read this. I am no epidemiologist but it does seem like a pretty weak critique. The core of this critique is that ivermectin may not have been used consistently among the treatment group, therefore negative results may be masked, or confo

My favourite part of this is accounting for some fake grids. Kudos! I have been so curious lately as to whether this was possible. EDIT: The next question is which (if any) of these signals can be removed and still get it in 1 guess. Or if

I'm in Canada where the mandates are quite extensive but also change frequently. I'd like to think the govt is hoping that each time restrictions are loosed, some type of immunity has developed and restrictionz can be loosed more.

Why doesn't someone make the point that 95%+ (or 98%+ etc) of Americans are protected via natural immunity or vaccines and back it up with data? Once that point is made, the discouraging natural immunity argument can stop because hospi

Encouraging natural immunity is asking for hospitals to get filled up by people giving themselves covid on purpose. This affects non covid patients too. I suspect that's why the media doesn't do it.

Some macro systems can create variables in a loop for you. You could make this macro, (define-all i 5 0) ;; creates i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 initialized to 0 That's somewhat impossible with functions. The closest you get is either
