@RhythmDoc01@CoffeeBlackMD Sorry for the shade @CoffeeBlackMD but I take it he’s somewhat conservative in his politics, at least in a few areas, and even the most scientifically minded conservatives have to shut off logic to arrive at certain conclusions. Reality has a liberal bias
@anniodarone3 Like everyone else, they’re propagandized. They’re not thinking through the economic effects. And, it’s anything but settled. The economic effects of wage increases vary, but most studies show (obviously) increased wages with neutral to modest negative employment effects !!!
@DavidADaoud@elissa_hachem My dream would be the IDF and LAF working hand in hand to dismantle Hezbollah factions within Lebanon. Perhaps it’s a pipe dream. Perhaps I’m misinformed. Any books you would recommend to learn more?
@DavidADaoud@elissa_hachem I’m not a bot and I’m actually honored by your response. I live in Oklahoma, born to proud, productive Lebanese-turned-American citizens.
I agree with you more than my own parents re:Lebanon/Israel. Hezbollah ought to be destroyed. And somehow, someway, I hope peace prevails.
@elissa_hachem@DavidADaoud Wonderfully said, although it’ll fall on deaf ears. It seems David’s raison d'être is solely to reinforce walls and to disincentivize productive engagement with statements similar to the above. It’s sad
@DavidADaoud It’s a party within the Lebanese government inexorably tied to Iran. What don’t you get David? Obviously some Lebanese people support them. I guess that means we should just give up all efforts at diplomacy? Do you hear yourself?
@Hstlinghosptlis@jasonryanmd Oh yeah I’m just engaging for the fun of it. I don’t really think we’ll be replaced anytime soon, not because the tech isn’t good or noninferior but because the regulatory barriers are too high. I also haven’t seen how a clinical LLM would handle lying or drug seeking behavior
@CoffeeBlackMD This fear is older than modern medicine. Many before you (Francis Galton, Herbert Spencer) predicted the “wrong people” would outbreed everyone else and bring collapse. Yet society proved far more resilient than they imagined. Collapse never happened. I’m not as pessimistic. 🤷🏻♂️
@Mitopapi Pretty crazy mitopapi. Terrible physician (if they even were one). If you came to my office I’d say holy shit let’s repeat that lab to confirm and go from there. Good, and i would argue most, doctors will refer if they don’t know what the best next step
The worst part of summer is watching a bunch of otherwise great parents spray chemicals on their children.
Don’t put anything but Zinc oxide on your children’s skin.
