@Samuel_Gregson Overworked and massively underpaid? You must be thinking of postdocs and grad students, surely not the typical professor.

NIH enables an administrative class by providing institutions with money far beyond what they actually need to conduct science.

That money is fungible. Universities treat NIH funding as income, mix it with other revenue sources, and use the resulting financial flexibility to expand bureaucracy, pay administrators exorbitant salaries, and create an administrative class that protects itself and serves its own interests as the institution’s interests rather than serving the scientists underneath it.

Universities are extremely skilled at playing accounting games, surviving audits, and producing exactly the paperwork and talking points they hand to people who want to remain in their good graces.

The reality is that anyone who has looked at the finances of a large university knows there are nearly infinite ways to move money among departments, accounts, facilities, salaries, and internal charges while preserving the appearance that every dollar was properly allocated.

An audit can show that the accounting rules were followed. It cannot show that the institution needed the money, spent it wisely, or did not use it to subsidize an administrative empire.

In the midst of Trump’s depraved, lying and delusionary speech to the nation yesterday, not many commentators—while debunking Trump’s transparent attempt to disrupt the November elections—pointed out that over the decades, the biggest disrupter of elections in foreign countries, along with overthrowing many governments outright, has been the United States.

Ask Central and South Americans how many times the CIA and other agencies interfered in their elections. So frequent that they saw it as normal, however abhorrent. The hubris of Empire! -R

NEWS: Maine Democrat Ashley Webb, who said he would not "lie" or "deceive" people, claims in Reddit posts that he "ovulates" and has a monthly period, but because he has "external male parts" instead of "the proper hole," the period blood comes out of his anus.

Despite being karyotyped as XY, he says he's "pretty positive I am the XX type." He also believes he has female "internal organs," although CAT scans have turned up nothing.

Colonoscopies have also failed to validate a connection with a supposed hidden uterus.

@normiesplsgo @OmarBaddar I am objecting to the violation of the principle of charity, not the deception of quote misattribution. Gabish?

[el don @eldonytyx]

@anthonyhf @Philip_Goff Conway and Kochen are the more rigorous sources for a version of that view. Goff adds nothing here.

[el don @eldonytyx]

@normiesplsgo @OmarBaddar The use of fake quotes to violate the principle of charity is objectionable whoever does it, regardless of reader perceptions

[el don @eldonytyx]

@PaulBunyan1976 @fawwazanvilen I highly doubt it.

@3xp4t @rhettofbodom @adamjohnsonCHI You seem to think Hamas did not kill civilians on Oct 7. I have no desire to argue with someone that quarrels with facts. Yes, the Hannibal directive was involed and led to civilian deaths as well. That doesn't absolve those in Hamas that did kill. Elementary.

[el don @eldonytyx]

@acrunksquirrel @rhettofbodom @adamjohnsonCHI Of course not
