@dkupiecki@WiniAshby Exactly. And it illustrates the hypocrisy of the lab leak mob, who through out of context quotes coupled w/ mental gymnastics, have no problem attributing nefarious motives to Andersen and Garry, but ignore Bloom’s indisputable manipulation of data.
@CPyles8 In freestyle, which is the context, he lost his most recent match against all three. He’s a stud but it makes each of them look that much better.
@UKnowwho222@CrabP3rson@sjs856 You need to separate the economic cost of the pandemic from the lockdowns. Countries with fewer restrictions (e.g., lockdowns) did, at most, marginally better economically than those with more restrictive policies. The economic cost of lockdowns had been grossly exaggerated.
@zach_seyko If option 2, they should be confident Sealy can make 157 with no issues. With Kasak’s head issues, not having a solid backup ready to go is incredibly risky.
@avidseries@enzoreds@olivertraldi@shtuka70 If natural selection favored changes in cognitive abilities after leaving Africa, that was by definition driven by genetics. To accept point 2 but not 3 is to believe similar selective pressures arose throughout nearly all of Africa around the same time.
@ArtemisConsort The placebo effect can cause tangible changes in one’s lifestyle/behavior, which can then affect experimental outcomes, including physiological ones.
@Cornell_Kevins@JustinJBasch I don’t think that’s correct. He turned 19 right after the fall semester starts, so his eligibility would begin the following fall (the academic year immediately following the athlete’s 19th birthday).
@dcwuser@WKCosmo This certainly played a role, but a minor one compared to the well-organized misinformation movement designed to intentionally undermine trust in public health officials.
