As far as I know Scott was the first person to suggest the "worm theory" (parasites) and no study has shown that to be the case. Unless some new body of Ivermectin research has come out that I'm unaware of, then you're m

Words and meanings change over time and depending on the context. Strangely you claim it's ignorance but then give supporting reasons why someone might label this "rationalism".

Musk has been described by his former partner as someone who lives "below the poverty line" - do you know musk better than his ex-girlfriend? He reportedly works 120h/wk regularly. Do you spend that many hours working? I cert

firstly musk doesn't live a lavish life (not that this really matters towards my original point that being a billionaire doesn't mean you suck) for the past couple of years he's been living in a ~50k house in south texas. Bac

The only tech advancement I can name off the top of my head from AWS is the dynamo paper in 2007, which to be fair has a substantial amount of influence. In terms of social impact I would say starlink alone will have more impact than any ad

> I get it, you're emotionally invested in Musk. It'll take time, but you'll also come around to understanding that he's become unhinged. Who can argue with an argument as richly substantiated as this one?

If we're not talking about hughes conquest to control the government then I'm at even more of a loss to how there's any comparison to Musk. Exactly how is Musk anything like the extremely OCD recluse? Musk who is notorious fo

That's a fair theory, but I would argue lenders like better.com are winning so much business is because they simplify the process. Their marketing is around that exact reason, as well. There's obviously competition in the space of

I think that point is about as fair as saying the only reason it got so complicated in the first place is because of federal consumer protection laws that enable banks/lenders to get away with such complex agreements to begin with. Oth

We might not even need cryptocurrency if we were capable of keeping the financial sector honest. Remind me again how many people went to prison after the market crash of 2008?
