@DSA_SF Evil.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @AnEriksenWife Looking forward to the next book

@CinemaTweets1 I liked it. Gal was great. Sure it could have been tightened up a bit. 3.5/5

@WashedPolicy @CHSommers That’s because people want to live there. We gotta build.

@MsMelChen Leftism, not liberalism.

@its_dabig_guy @RockChartrand It’s not easy to make something people want, but if I’m a small company who’s created a better product, people will buy it and invest in you. You can’t mandate choice. Furthermore, wealth is not zero sum. Companies making billions takes nothing away from you or I.

[Connor Long @Conlong7]

@its_dabig_guy @RockChartrand Of course there is. High profits attract competitors and substitutes.

@esrtweet It’s not worse, it’s different. It would be worse if nothing changed, ever. You said so yourself: simpler, repetitive, more rhythm focused. You could say the same thing comparing Satie to Beethoven.

@DavidDeutschOxf @ToKTeacher @sbkaufman “I have journeyed in search of a book, perhaps of the catalogue of catalogues… I affirm that the Library is interminable.”

@Emilio_A_Garcia @ConceptualJames Dave argues like a charismatic creationist, excelling at Gish gallop, overwhelming opponents with information at the expense of quality, but comes off as winning. James knows that, fearing a “debate” would only harm his cause in the eyes of those who need convincing the most.

@SwipeWright Colonial Science Approacher here 👋. I find no explanatory knowledge worth extracting from this paper.

@SwipeWright And that’s exactly what drives scientific progress: conjecture AND criticism. We may always be mistaken, and we have to correct for errors.

[Connor Long @Conlong7]

@martinmbauer Fair enough. Yeah I read it was Plank…I just hope our current, more formal method of correcting for errors doesn’t actually do the opposite by protecting current explanations from the threat of new ones that effectively upend them.

[Connor Long @Conlong7]

@martinmbauer @ericweinstein Just imagine if peer review was around in 1905. Do you think the patent clerk’s informal, radical, paradigm-shifting ideas, (without ties to the existing literature), would have been published? He received enough opposition as it was. How much time would we have lost?

@BCC_Mitchell Criticism is not cancellation.

[Connor Long @Conlong7]

@martyrmade @SenTuberville @grok How many of those female doctors can dress and speak freely? Can they sing or dance in public or online, or is that too “erotic”?

[Connor Long @Conlong7]

@ChrisKindaReads In honor of Dan Simmons recent passing, I highly recommend the Hyperion series (cantos). Best sci-fi series out there.

@grok @spatilTweet @PravallikaAbbi3 @DavidDeutschOxf Can you provide another example of an explanation that chains seemingly distant concepts?
