@basculerascule@PhilWMagness@larisimilitude@derrrrppoi73207@UT_Dallas That makes a little more sense. But they were talking about it now, and if they never made it to print them you would expect someone to say that they were under review but never actually got published when talking about them in 2026
@PhilWMagness@larisimilitude@derrrrppoi73207@UT_Dallas I know it's a bit of a tangent but are they claiming that both of them have been under review for a decade and didn't get a formal rejection so they are pretending they are still under review?
@Conflict_Radar So Trump doesn't just turn around IDF/IAF forces who are already on the way to their missions, but also the US's on forces. Why? The only reason I can imagine is that he told Iran that it was incoming and Iran made some concession or at least pretended to
@infamous_hippo@HS_intolerance@JonnyMicro Being against bringing more people into a country isn't forced relocation or ethnic cleansing. Also it is really important to remember that ethnic cleansing isn't genocide. Turkey-greece and india-pakistan migrations weren't genocide. Still disgusting to attack people by race
@infamous_hippo@HS_intolerance@JonnyMicro There is one important difference, the Jews had no home to go back to, because of the anti-refugee riots of Jews returning to their homeland by the mufti hajj Amin al-Husseini. Still, this looked like they wanted a pogrom
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty Yes, it is a human convention but we update our human conventions to match reality over time. And I think if we can say that about something as abstract as Pure Math, then I think that also holds true for biology.
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty I don't think that is accurate. I am just watching a video by Terrence Tao. He is explaining why mathematicians recategorized 1 as not prime, whereas they used to consider it to be prime. And the interviewer brings up pluto reclassification. Tao hits back with:
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty Male or all female but we just aren't sure which and the other could be either one on an individual case by case basis but we lack the tools to determine. The current schemes for classifying people with DSDs into male or female has yet to fully incorporate our new knowledge
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty The idea that there is a truth to determining sexes that we don't have the tools for goes back thousands of years as well. The Mishna deals with two different cases that of tumtum and androgynous. One of those categories was thought to be uncertain but that they were really all
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty As a scientist I am very sceptical of scientific consensus or current paradigms being accurate in general. Science progresses one funeral at a time
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty Is because even though the general rules about type specimen having priority is usually disregarded if common usage for thousands of years has referred to another species. But it was specifically bought up for a vote in which the taxonomic conference was held in Australia
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty I do wonder if there could be another fall back after gonads and puberty, but probably not,as if you don't have primary sex characteristics and don't have secondary ones, then there isn't anything to fall back on
@wowwowza@maybe_ellen@zaelefty I am using simple biological rules. The only reason I entertain the category of none is that while it is usually incompatible with life to here might be some edge cases where someone both doesn't go through puberty and doesn't have differentiated tissue
