@TrinityMustache @grok can you find the source

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@ZyMazza See Dostoevsky, The Grand Inquisitor

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@dwaldenwrites Also there are undergraduate math curricula designed specifically for this type of student...Math 55 for example.

@IanPitchford @aswren did he consider the ways that writing about it and campaigning as a political candidate could force his victims to relive that trauma? To see your rapist on the NYT Best Books list, turning your rape into a story about their personal journey?

@MarkersinWI @PotatoMcWhiskey I've said he should have stayed home three times now. The fact that he made a dumb decision doesn't oblige him to let others assault him.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@MarkersinWI @PotatoMcWhiskey yes, I already said that. But what happens once he is there?

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@MarkersinWI @PotatoMcWhiskey should never have been there. But once he was there, what was he supposed to do? Get murdered?

@Blarg08125613 @PhilKlay It is different, I grant you that. I'm not convinced indexing on the rate of change rather than absolute status is the right frame here, but I see where you are coming from.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@Blarg08125613 @PhilKlay one liberal argument might go "it is precisely illiberal movements on the left which raised the salience of race that caused the current racist backlash". E.g., EO 11246 withstood Nixon, Reagan, both Bush admins. Only post 2020 did Trump axe it.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@Blarg08125613 @PhilKlay Which period are you thinking of re: "the social liberalism that preceded it"? FDR? LBJ? I think it is quite hard to make the argument that open racism is worse now than in the 60s, even more so the 30s.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@Blarg08125613 @PhilKlay That idea is unobjectionable. What I don't see is a mechanism between Hayek's blind spot in that regard and the current admin. It is more of a family resemblance: "Hayek is racist and the admin is racist". Ok--but if Sunstein read more Hayek, we'd have a different admin?

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@Blarg08125613 @PhilKlay no. care to make that an argument rather than a wink?

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@AnneMarieFlynn2 @radleftie @kristoph @nickmmark which hospital is closing down?

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@radleftie @AnneMarieFlynn2 @kristoph @nickmmark correct...the previous posts note this, so I'm not sure why you think mentioning it again does anything for you.

When you account for foreign grads, there are not enough slots. Have to expand residencies or limit foreign grads.

@AnneMarieFlynn2 @radleftie @kristoph @nickmmark I didn't say they were taking in unqualified students. Everyone they take in is qualified. But they are also turning away many qualified students. They don't have the capacity and are concerned about expanding because of the lack of residency slots.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@radleftie @kristoph @AnneMarieFlynn2 @nickmmark That's a silly strawman. Not every candidate is qualified. But I know *many* candidates who were qualified and did not make it. They could have been great doctors.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@donpark @kristoph @nickmmark The post is referring to med school acceptance rates. If you know people in this area, you know strong students who would make great doctors but never got accepted.

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@BooksofHate @FuckKoroks @grok who is this referring to?

[Lawrence the Owl @OwlLawrence]

@WB_Baskerville my read: the murderer was a repeat offender and murder wouldn't have happened if he was imprisoned. Therefore, more prison time for repeat offenders.
