Hallo aus Deutschland. Ich bleibe zu Hause.

@Aella_Girl Don’t they also believe that since it’s an existential threat, on balance its ok to lie to the public whenever they deem in appropriate?

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@kirancodes Fortunately, it is and will remain a scientific discipline not a hobby.

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@carney Whatever your thoughts on whether math is “invented or discovered”, problems are 100% arbitrary human inventions. Setting research goals is a key element of scientific practice, they are designed and chosen for epistemic reasons. “solving” them should achieve epistemic purposes

@Lang__Leon The most successful athletes dont always make the best coaches bc superior talent made the difference. someone who fought like hell but didn’t “make it” bc they lacked top-level talent may be a better coach, as they’ve tried everything + can add value to a player with more talent

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@robinhanson Well, should we have specifically human epistemic authorities, or is it enough to let a computer program be our epistemic authority? Human experts need appropriate training and rewards for investing their time to develop expertise.

@pegobry_en Bc the research frontier is vast relative to the # of pure mathematicians, social norms have evolved very similarly to small town: high trust, pro-social/cooperation. It’s not hard to understand why people who (metaphorically) live w/ their doors unlocked will get angry.

@nihilunbounded Is this true? Sailors had a pretty good grasp of spherical geometry (and positive curvature) from navigating the Earth. Why wouldn’t someone have figured out curvature could be negative?

@ctjlewis @contrasortem You can post it on your personal website…

@joelwatsonfish Does AI even need theory-building, if it has superior capacity to do long technical arguments? Do humans build theories to help them decide where to expend their relatively scarce technical ability/energy?

@Steve_Sailer Rename it Jussie College, Cambridge

@joshshepperd @joelwatsonfish If a professor draws the ire of an AAUP-backed politician, will the AAUP risk that political relationship and stand up for their academic freedom? Or leave that academic out to dry?

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@joshshepperd @joelwatsonfish The AAUP’s Committee A came to the absurd conclusion that mandatory diversity statements are not a violation of academic freedom. It believes that if a majority of professors at an institution want to discriminate politically against a colleague, that’s ok.

@AaronBergman18 Are you amazed that when a rolling ball encounters a ramp, it goes up?

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@JacobAShell I dont understand your point. *you* made the church analogy

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@JacobAShell Of course, if your church has a huge gender gap, with way more women than men, *you* have to make hard choices instead of browbeating men to join your church

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@JacobAShell It’s a pretty reasonable dating preference to only pursue relationships with people who attend your specific church and to ask about this early on when initially dating.

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@JacobAShell GOP wants to complain that we are whores and also that we won’t sleep with them.

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

@jbarro @mattyglesias Do you think we could rebrand the status quo, by “permanently” moving ahead one hour but then introducing winter “sleep-in hours”?

[plcDeutsch @DeutschPlc]

I hope he got to Montana
