@ArtemisConsort Even if you believed in the importance of the intangible personality factors, you can’t implement a strategy to tap into that potential without actually being able to identify it and measure it. “There’s also unmeasurable stuff” isn’t a useful addition to the conversation.
@REGENETARIANISM@willchamberlain You are so bad at this. Honestly, I did a black and white copier picture of my head on Hulk Hogan’s body back in 1987 that was composed better. That thing is just utter shit on so many levels.
@fran_geleno@nebulacoffees@feelsdesperate It’s still a non sequitur. “Media” encompasses both broadcast and tech/social. Your reply was completely tangential, and the original assertion that it leans wildly leftward was 100% accurate. You’re most likely muddying the proverbial waters because you know that.
@asymmetricinfo My rational action is to assume the people calling for lockdown are not motivated by my well-being and that they would gladly lie to me in order to secure my compliance in reaching their ends. It’s bullshit until I can see the data. That could kill people. That’s where we are.
@wil_da_beast630 It’s almost like they’re trying to stretch their arguments to reach a chosen result, and it forces them to be wordy. Arguments can be pretty tight when you reduce them to “what does the constitution say” rather than, “what does it have to say in order to produce my outcome?”
