Ph.D. in biology. Struggling with depression. "Critical thinking involves much more than self-identifying as a critical thinker." Sometimes I do that.

Across issues like STEM visas, property taxes, public education, and even childhood vaccines, MAGA Republicans show the same pattern: their policy positions are driven not by data or empirical outcomes but by a rigid ideology that cherry-picks whatever scraps of information seem to support it. Instead of starting with evidence and drawing conclusions, they start with conclusions and then hunt for selective anecdotes that fit, ignoring the overwhelming data that contradicts them. When decisions are made this way, detached from labor-market realities, fiscal constraints, epidemiology, and the basic needs of communities, the consequences are predictable: weaker universities and tech sectors, gutted local services, declining educational outcomes, and the return of preventable diseases. Ideology may energize their base, but governing without respect for hard reality inevitably harms the public that depends on functioning systems.

@SashaGusevPosts I had to look it up, but here it is for others.

@estherzelda0514 If a couple of women come out and say Planter sexually assaulted them, he's finished.

@RonDeSantis If society as a whole will benefit from AI (and not just the stockholders in AI corporations), then it's not unreasonable to share in the electrical costs of data centers.

This is a really interesting result. I've taken semaglutide to counter the weight-inducing effects of my other medicines. Unfortunately, at higher doses, I've had side effects from it, but they didn't start right away. This way I possibly can lose weight on the higher dose, and then get to a maintenance dose to keep most of the weight off.

I wonder if the results translate to semaglutide.

@ianbremmer @ezraklein The lead power doesn't necessarily have to be declining. It's just that other countries are catching up. The Thucydides trap analogy is appropriate.

If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse.

@DylanByers The staff of 60 Minutes should walk out with him, go to another venue, and help start a show that's like the old 60 Minutes.

@JustEric Don't think taxes will be increased but concerned that local government will have less money to work with and services may get cut.

@ArcanesValor @SlavicWalrus @krichard121212 It’s just means that rare variants are relatively common at the very low end.

[Jewish Gentleman @JewishGentle7]

@ArcanesValor @SlavicWalrus @krichard121212 I mean, this doesn’t disprove that some people have rare variants at the highest values of fluid intellect, so you have to be careful when you generalize.

@academic_la Keeping the two state solution alive is the only choice we have at preventing further dehumanization of the other side by either side.

@ProfDBernstein Israel and the United States share intelligence extensively. The two nations maintain a deep covert partnership, exchanging satellite imagery, communications intercepts, and strategic analysis. Both sides have historically derived massive security benefits from this relationship.

@cremieuxrecueil I developed pain in my GI tract and had to stop it. I am trying it again. I will make sure that I don't get constipated.

@estherzelda0514 @Nikos_17 Really? Doesn't it depend on your field and the PI? I've never once had to mention my support of Israel, but I'm in STEM. Maybe in other fields and other places with other PIs, it unfortunately matters, which is ridiculous and antisemitic.

Yes, bad things have happened by Israelis onto others, but you don’t have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Most of what goes on in Israel is good. Israel, as the land of Jews exists and should have the right to continue to exist. Don’t let people be assholes and dissuade you from this.

@cremieuxrecueil This is undeniably false. I have collaborated with AI on research and find that AI has helped me flesh out good ideas, particularly because I am not a great writer.

@ProfDBernstein @malcolm_reavell Not to mention how much wealth he has created for others in general.
