@Ayishat_Akanbi Most rebellion is just conformity in a different direction, because people want the prestige of dissidence without the responsibility of thinking for themselves.

@clairlemon Feels like we're living in a state of epistemological Hobbesianism right now

@paulbloomatyale In psychology, Mill's definition of pleasure is definitely way too vague

But for utilitarianism it's important to define pleasure broadly, since pleasure is the end goal of everything

I.e. your anti-hedonism = Mill's hedonism. This is why I try to avoid isms altogether lol

@mikeymamba @CatholicCharm Holy shit this is the most pedantic thing I've ever read. "Gun violence" implies that it's unnecessary or illegal violence. When people say they want to end gun violence, do you really think they're talking about justified self-defense???

@felipecreate @leftylucieb @CatholicCharm The point of an analogy is to compare two different things. So long as the logic applies to both of them equally, then it doesn't matter that they're different

@AdamMB79 @Tweet4USA @VeraxDog @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD You honestly believe the majority of scientists who study these fields are siding with you here?

@21tri11ion @GianDulio @charlottemyford @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD 75 years? What are you talking about?

[Struan Taylor @StruanTaylor1]

@21tri11ion @GianDulio @charlottemyford @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD That absolutely happens. Fortunately, the scientific method is specifically designed to defend against those ulterior motives. E.g. you must declare conflicts of interest, papers get peer-reviewed, experiments are replicated multiple times, etc.

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD Of course they'd reverse a policy to avoid losing 70,000 workers! The NHS is notorious for being understaffed and overworked. They can't afford to lose 70,000 workers

[Struan Taylor @StruanTaylor1]

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD No, I explicitly told you I went through multiple studies that *all* showed the same results. If you have a bunch of studies that are more credible and have different findings, feel free to send them my way

[Struan Taylor @StruanTaylor1]

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD It took me a 10-second search to answer your question. You implied that the UK was ending its NHS vaccine mandate because the vaccine is ineffective, when in reality it's over fears that we would have to sack too many workers. You could have just googled it

[Struan Taylor @StruanTaylor1]

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD You're so right! I'm not an expert. I'm a big man bun dummie. That's why I defer to the experts who know what they're talking about, such as all the studies that show vaccines reduce transmission :)

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD Omicron transmissibility :) Feel free to share all the data you have that disproves me

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD You're babbling again. Every time you don't know what to say you just make some weird comment about heroin or man buns or gas stations

Every time you ask for data, I give it to you. Then you ignore it and start babbling

[Struan Taylor @StruanTaylor1]

@nowayjose54 @morlizzle @Michael44496310 @CorfmanTim @RupaliChadhaMD When did I ever mention a cure? What are you talking about?
