@C_Kavanagh@michaelshermer When it comes to telling the truth and character assessment, absolutely! Grok tells me I'm amazing and correct all the time so it must be right. It's my favourite SI...
@DHughesy He never called people who work hard, pay off a home, and leave it to their kids โintergenerational inequality.โ He talks about young people being locked out of home ownership. Reforms target investor tax breaks not family homes or inheritance which he said remain unchanged
@ArthurCDent@LeonHewer AIMS https://t.co/93UKirMu9s is worth a look. It's Govt funded-like CSIRO and reliable. The main story is the reef has improved in certain areas after years of degradation via cyclones, heat waves and crown-of-thorns. Reef is resilient but under threat. Lomborg cherry picks data.
@LoanArrangerTX@DrSusanOliver1 The immune system has the capacity to process tens of thousands of different antigens at the same time. The 9 shots is only a tiny fraction of what the immune system encounters every day.
We return to the never ending lab leak discourse with four actual virologists. Something you might imagine would be more common but sadly is not. Out now on podcast, out soon on YouTube.
@BenMazer Trusting Doc recommendations along with informed parents and easy access means a near universal uptake in non-mandate (or limited-mandate) European countries. They have extremely high vax rates.
@MaryBowdenMD Once COVID mRNA vaccines were proven effective, giving a placebo to high-risk HIV patients became unethical. The trial design fixed this: giving a standard 2 doses, then one group got a 3rd dose while the other got placebo. It tests whether HIV patients need a 3rd boost.
@cremieuxrecueil This is old news, the replication crisis was known from 2010. Science has been working on solving these issues ever since with open science, pre registration etc
@wakenminds Nicolaus Steno had the same thought and solved this in the 17th century...Read "The Seashell on the Mountaintop" by Alan Cutler. Steno was also made a Saint by the Catholic Church.
@FischerKing64 Meanwhile Trump (โthe bullet was aimed at all of usโ) + Musk (โthe left is the party of murderโ) wield the presidency + Xโs algorithm to frame it as existential war. In 2025 the right has 100ร the megaphone and real power to inflame. Thatโs the actual asymmetry.
@ArthurCDent@joshzepps latest "dissecting" episode (definitely not decoding) was a good insight into his Oz tour. Still baffled how anyone takes Tucker Carlson seriously.
