@ericweinstein You assume these are serious people. Imagine them as clout chasing influencers, then maybe the drivel becomes more understandable. Why would they be consulting scientists if the goal is clout?
@ThierryBreton@elonmusk@DigitalEU I wish you would have spent that time doing something useful instead of opting to treat Europeans as being so stupid that they need to be safeguarded by a Commission assigned strict diet of what information is good for their health. This is not what the EU was founded for.
@jordanbpeterson I have tried "dating" God. He has always been silent to my questions. My wife on the other hand, still has a lot to say about everything.
So even if we decide to conflate matters in that fashion, getting married is based on some evidence on which you can base your decision on.
@surfncruz @medicgordus@elonmusk Why would there be a need for spin? They are trying to solve an important technological problem for the human species. I am on board.
@ericweinstein I have idolized America for the greater part of my adult life. People like me that live in hellholes around the world need to believe that there is one sane, good, free place in the world. Having this ideal is crucial for our survival. I hope there is a way out of this tailspin.
@markomenzy @mjamesevans@calvinrobinson There are places in the world where these religions coexist peacefully. In all of those places the peaceful coexisting is based on respecting each other's boundaries.
@BretWeinstein Even heroes need to be allowed to retreat and rest. Especially when they are elderly and had fought for what is right for the great majority of their lives.
Sometimes soldiers that refuse to fight aren't cowards, they are just shellshocked.
@ConceptualJames Let's not get into the habit of not checking what we are actually seeing. They are both biological women. We don't want to get to the point where we call every flood a "climate emergency", so let's just slow down the reflexive retweeting.
@joseletemuniz They are both biological females. This just shows you why there are weight classes in sports.
And I agree that trans women have no place competing with biological women. You just need to think of a better image to demonstrate the point :P
@Dmg664music@Janetdennie1@RadioFreeTom I am saying the government can't be a part of curating/censoring the content outside of strict violations of law. And in the cases when law is violated every instance should result with a proper trial in court.
@Janetdennie1@RadioFreeTom Because we would have to be naive to think that the mechanisms in place to control the reach of stories and unruly journalists/individuals is limited only to Twitter.
@DrinkMo87129447 @NateSilver538 Dude. Face masks stop bacterial and viral spread from particulate (spit drops). They can't stop aerosols. COVID spreads through aerosols.

@AQuestionAgenda@lgmzp_@davidvance How do you not see that the cost of carbon tax will affect prices downstream and the ones actually paying higher prices will be the end users? So, it *really* matters if carbon taxes are based in reality or in scaremongering and manipulation.
@AQuestionAgenda@davidvance It really matters what the true extent of the danger is. Don't willingly let yourself be habituated to doom scaring. We all know the "don't cry wolf" parable.
