@CyanS380923 @ChrisBrooks2401 @kevinnbass Imagine if there were a different time period where smoking actually cured lung cancer (the opposite of the statistical claim). That statistic opposite exists for the claim under discussion.

@MorrisMark41498 @kevinnbass Unless you think race morphs over centuries then you should include it all.

Your conclusion doesn’t follow from your statistics.

Even if the numbers are correct, they describe population-level rates, not the behavior of any individual person. Saying “a Black person is 50 times more likely…” is a statistical sleight of hand that takes a group average and applies it to individuals.

You also jump from modern crime statistics to a conclusion about racism. Those are different questions. Crime rates do not, by themselves, prove or disprove whether racism exists.

And if we’re discussing violence between groups, limiting the discussion to a single modern-year crime statistic while ignoring centuries of legally sanctioned slavery, segregation, and racial violence would seem incomplete.

@nicksortor Don’t stop at restricting single family home speculation.

What if part of annual money supply expansion flowed directly to citizens instead of Wall Street

America’s Drug and Crime Policies in 2024 & 2025 Are Saving Lives
Politics aside, something important appears to be happening in America.

Several of the country’s largest categories of preventable death: overdoses, homicides, and traffic fatalities have moved meaningfully downward over the last year and a half. Reasonable people can debate the causes, the timing, and the degree to which these trends began before Donald Trump returned to office. Attribution in complex societies is rarely simple.

But the direction of the numbers themselves is difficult to ignore. 🐙READ MORE AT THE OCTOPUS https://t.co/QeXQBtQ7WB

@DramaAlert Interesting article but there’s a scenario where both sides benefit from the lawsuit.
I laid out the “show trial” idea in this thread:

[Arrow Dot Press @arrowdotpress]

🔥 What if the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a show trial?
Everyone’s treating it like a fight.
But there’s another possibility:
• Musk gets positioned as an early investor
• OpenAI gets a cleaner path to go fully for-profit
• The nonprofit story quietly disappears
If that’s true… both sides win.
And the public?
Not so much.
