@tyDi I keep reminding myself: utility is more important than provability (and perfection / flawlessness).

As a thought experiment there are more good than bad aspects to entertaining the idea I am everyone.

It's okay to gloss over things. We're only human :)

[Justsee @justsee]

@tyDi This is of course a short-circuit on the whole idea to deal with the trauma of imagining I've actually done all the things.

But this links to another idea: on some level I'm not meant to understand certain aspects of universal reality right now, so it's okay to skip over things.

@DrNeilStone Deeply amusing that Mr Stone appears totally unaware that the dosage dictates underpinning this additive for over half a century were themselves based on the most absurd pseudoscience.

Quietly changed in 2015 because who wouldn’t be embarrassed by it?

Ivermectin can stop the Covid virus.

But only at doses toxic to humans.

Fluoride can be harmful at high doses.

But it's safe at the low levels found in drinking water.

Pseudoscience has a real problem with the concept of dosing.

@Prof_NickTalley Beyond the concerning details in the small case study series are these shocking quotes:

"To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of its kind worldwide."

"the long-term biodistribution and effects of XXXX XXXXXXXX remain underexplored"

Four years later.

@Prof_NickTalley A new paper by Ota et al in the latest Journal of Clinical Neuroscience finds it persists in the intima of cerebral arteries for up to 17 months in stroke victims, but only in females.

Other studies show it persists for months in both sexes.

The facts about mRNA vaccines. Amazing science. And life saving.

@bobjcarr It would be great if events like this upgraded the default ‘whodunnit’ assumptions in media newsrooms, political parties and general societal discourse.

How easily manipulated our media, politics and even law-making are.

The core unaddressed vulnerability: always a default assumption that the ‘obvious’ culprit is it, framing in any events of importance would never happen; a weird kind of lobotomised Sherlock Holmes sleuthing.

The most curious story ever: The Oz reports that police believe an “alleged criminal group” was behind almost all anti-Semitic attacks being investigated in NSW. Motive was to reveal the fake plot and get shorter sentences. Big apology due to Australian Islamic community and…

@douglasritz @JustinWolfers The more unequal the income distribution in a society, the more unequal the tax burden.

As this becomes more extreme, say top 0.01% capture 90% of income through AI, they take on an extreme amount of tax burden.

That signals dysfunction of a society, not heroism on their part.

[Justsee @justsee]

@rabois @JustinWolfers That’s just a signal of very uneven income distribution in a society.

Presenting it as evidence of the heroic contribution of the wealthy is lazy thinking easily dispatched by considering the extremes: totally equal distribution through to dictatorial capture of most income.

@TopherField Bandwidth needs are going to spike massively up in coming years and fibre to the home will be even more critical.

Ditching national infra for one foreign co’s orbiting satellites in a world of increased great power conflict is back-of-a-coaster-after-a-few-beers thinking.

[Justsee @justsee]

@TopherField A lot of words for such a simplistic and confidently wrong argument 😂

A national backbone of optic fibre is critical from an economic and nat sec perspective.

Yet you and Canavan spin a ‘Starlink for everyone’ comparison and want to be taken as serious commentators? 🙄

I have a story.
It's not about me, but about my fellow Canberrans.
I'm in it, but I'm only a bit part.
Like many of my colleagues, we all have good weeks, & bad weeks on The Paddock.
This week was fairly average.
I'd spent about 25 hours of my spare time preparing a lecture for
