> The Internet is changing that. Anyone can publish an essay on the Web, and it gets judged, as any writing should, by what it says, not who wrote it. Who are you to write about x? You are whatever you wrote.

That being said, I think the above has contributed a bunch to sensationalism. Unbundling of writing from magazines and newspapers into little articles incentivizes writing individual articles that stand out -- clickbait, shockers, and half-truths.

Good writing and crisp thinking definitely still rises to the top, but so does controversy and stirring up emotions. So yes, essays have won, but it's less clear the kind of essay that Paul mentions ("a few topics you've thought about a lot, and some ability to ferret out the unexpected") are the ones that have won

Texas? The only state in US that resembles what I mean by the right is New Hampshire.
I don't think this is a very good analysis. If Trump can be compared to a Roman figure, it is most likely Sulla. He (Trump) proved that a non-politician could rise to power on a populist program, but ultimately ended up having little actual influence himself. If we are in a similar scenario to the late Republic, we still have a few decades before a Caesar is to appear.

This is still a huge stretch and I don't think modern America is very comparable to Rome.
The problem is that there's no grand coalition of people who agree with you in all major aspects of what it means to be moral. (The war in Afghanistan helpfully illustrated this over the past month, with people who normally consider themselves to be "on the same team" adopting wildly different views of the withdrawal.) If we don't want to live in an infinitely factionalized society, there has to be some kind of limiting principle where we agree to do business with others who we find to be immoral.
> It already allowed citizens to sue each other going out in public without a mask? People can be sued by anyone in the state if they go to church and they're not vaccinated?

And I'd be surprised if some legislature hasn't already started the process on this. It's more reasonable than the abortion law, because it's about behavior that puts the person bringing the suit into some amount of danger. Any argument that would support the abortion law would support the mask/vaccination law.
I see a lot of people who are mad that they got picked up by Epik, and even as someone who thinks these sites are reprehensible, this is frankly the right course of action. If Epik wants to cater to that crowd, then they can continue to accumulate 'rejected actors' from other services until they fail to effectively moderate their community. It's only a matter of time until that ticking time bomb explodes, and it's a total "not my problem" moment for everyone involved.

You want to really hurt their site? Just furnish their database with randomly generated names and addresses. Data poisoning is one of the easiest, cleanest, and effective ways to ruin someone's crowdsourcing campaign if you pull it off properly. Getting angry at people on the internet for having a voice though, that's just a tad petty.
I was born in USSR, still live in Moscow and have a very good understanding of what "left" is.
Lockheed called that process "Spiral". (which DOES have some features of Agile; because development is iterative).

Now; aircraft are very different than software. You don't go and manufacture 1000 birds based on a partially completed design. So there's that.

The other important thing to note is the F-35 concept was meant to address the sharply rising costs of building warplanes. By taking advantage of "economies of scale" in manufacturing, to build a multi-purpose plane that all three services could use. (so instead of building say; 100 of one design for the USAF, 100 of a completely different design for the Navy, 100 of a third design for the Marines, they'd build 300 planes - but manufacture variants off the same assembly line.) Adding to that scale was the baked-in "deal" to get NATO partners to commit to buying these planes as well. In that regard, it was kind of a stunning success (that they're actually serviceable; even if all three variants have shortcomings due to engineering trade-offs made for this manufacturing flexibility). At the end of the day, there were flaws that arose in the concept; like, the main central titanium bulkhead, which turned out to be FAR more costly to manufacture than was revealed when they built the prototypes. They just kind of "hoped" that the process for that part would end up being cheaper when scaled. And it wasn't cheaper-enough.

This makes is sufficiently different to the software development process discussion, that I think it's really an apples-to-oranges comparison.

> . https://c19ivermectin.com says that are 113 studies of using 73 peer reviewed studies, and they all tend to show good results.

The problem is that studies that show bad results has a lower chance of been written and a lower chance of been published and a lower chance of been collected in the sites. So there is a lot of informal involuntary filtration, that hides the the bad result and collect only the good results.

Someone posted https://ivmmeta.com/#fig_fpr and https://hcqmeta.com/#fcite_rct . It's nice to be able to compare both.

Take a look at this paper: https://c19ivermectin.com/chowdhury.html

One interesting thing is that it compares Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine. It is listed as a success in the https://ivmmeta.com/#fig_fpr but it's not listed a failure in the https://hcqmeta.com/#fcite_rct site.

If it had the opposite result, would it be listed in ivmmeta or only in hcqmeta? If it has a null result would any of them had shown it? (Assuming that the doctors took the time to write a boring article about a null result, and the journal published a boring article about a null result.)
Wow this article has changed my life!
> If success to them looks like an equal number of white/black/asian/women it's an unreachable goal

It's not the goal. You've created a strawman and wasted your own time fighting it.

> In my mind it's equality of opportunity. I don't care what color your skin is

That doesn't magically erase that they grew in up in a racist society that does care what color their skin is.

It's insulting to many people of color to hear "I don't care what color your skin is". An appropriate and honest response from a person of color might be "Must be nice. I wouldn't know what that's like because I never had the privilage of not caring what color my skin is". Probably not the great start you were hoping for.

It sounds like you want imagine the starting line was in the same place for every person who arrives to you as a candidate. When in fact some people got to you with a head start. Ignoring the starting line does the opposite of creating equality of opportunity. But ignoring the starting line is far simpler. And even useful for those who benefit from maintaining the status quo.

The best candidate for the work might just be the person who arrives less qualified and slightly behind the winner. Someone who started from far behind and almost caught up. If racism exists outside your interview, then equal opportunity at your interview must take into consideration that someone's race might have put up many obstacles on the long journey that got them to your interview.

Let's do a thought experiment. You're in a room with 57 white people and 12 black people. Those are the numbers you used. 10% of people in the room are racist. Every racist in the room gets to insult every person of the other race one time. Do the math. How many times is each white person insulted? How many times is each black person insulted? Is there "equality of opportunity" for everyone to leave that room and head to a job interview with the same level of self esteem? Multiple that by a lifetime.

If US demographics were in fact 50% white, 50% black, it would make things far easier to understand. Living in a society where race matters and you are hugely outnumbered is something the majority will always have great difficulting in relating to.

By not caring what someone's skin color is, you're passing over candidates who worked far harder to get where they are compared to someone who had fewer obstacles. Of course not every obstacle in life comes from race and some people of color may have even experienced a life of privilage.

So let's take a deaf candidate applying to your job. Like skin color, it's not something they chose nor something they can change. It very likey created obstacles for them in life that you never experienced. Would you treat them the same as non-deaf candidates? Speak to them with your back turned perhaps? Or would you adapt to who they really are?

The website is not providing illegal abortions. Or else sadly goDaddy would probably be required by law to take it down.

Anyways, I've learned from other comments that these laws are so broad that even activism supporting the right to abortion can be deemed illegal. So inadvertently you might've made a point if that proves true.
You sound more like a fan of the mainstream narrative than science. The studies on ivermectin are ongoing. By just ignorantly saying "there is no evidence" as meaning that it's been proven to be ineffective, you show how scientifically illiterate you are. No evidence doesn't guarantee something isn't true.

In fact, if you had read the article you would have learned that they haven't ruled out ivermectin and are still researching it along with other treatments. If you want to take ivermectin they want you to be part of the study. This is how science works.

"The NIH is studying the drug in a large trial comparing a half-dozen established drugs to see if they have some effect against COVID-19.

Experts say those interested in ivermectin should ask about enrolling in such studies."

Maybe you should spend some time away from the news media and consider how we're all being bamboozled by the both parties, "right" and "left". Consider reading freely available "The Three Languages of politics" (summary here: https://quillette.com/2018/08/08/the-three-languages-of-poli... and enlighten yourself as to why the conservatives and progressives can never agree - because they're not talking about the same things.

The democratic and republican parties take advantage of this because once you're talking their language, you'll never be convinced to switch sides. If anything can bring this country down it's both of these parties tearing us apart.

I'm an independent and I've voted for both parties over the years. Don't be a lemming - these two parties are just vying for power, anything the 'little people' like us get is just a side-effect.
First, no, I didn't cherry-pick anything, it was literally the first video I saw when I searched on YouTube. I certainly didn't even recall your video.

Second, if you're going to accuse cherry-picking, look at the very crucial quotes you omitted from your own clip:

- Right before your quote he had added very critical qualifiers that you skipped: He specifically said, "Right now, in the United States, there's no reason to be walking around with a mask." Mind you, this was on March 8, pre-lockdown. He explicitly made it clear this guidance could change as the situation evolves (or, as you wrote, "change his mind" should he get more data or see circumstances change... how horrifying!), and he specifically said in the United States, likely because the epidemic was much less severe than it became in the following weeks (it wasn't even declared a pandemic yet!), so they thought it could be better handled without telling everyone to wear masks. He clearly genuinely believed at the time that the protection they would be likely to provide would be small compared to the benefits of saving them for hospitals.

- Also note that he continued to provide context: "When you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them, and people who are ill." Again, he's explaining his concerns. You can't ignore that.

- Also note that he even specifically explained: "When you look at the films of foreign countries and you see 85% of people wearing masks, that's fine, that's fine. I'm not against it. But that's when it can lead to a shortage of masks for people who need it." i.e.: If he wasn't worried about a shortage, he wouldn't be telling people not to wear masks.

You can't honestly hear all that and accuse him (or me...) of dishonesty with that clip.
So this is what confuses me. I understand why some people might have started to lose trust in the CDC because they thought they were intentionally lying because they didn't trust people to do the right thing. Or as you say, they start to see the CDC as "salesmen."

But why do they therefore inherently trust the other people saying to take hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and these other solutions? Aren't these people also salesmen?

I doubt they identified as a racial category invented centuries later. They probably thought of themselves as Romans, as opposed to Greeks, Persians, Egyptians or Jews. Skin color wasn't a deciding factor. Regionality and culture were what mattered.
Perhaps it might be worth examining your views on animals some more, while your perspective isn't uncommon, it might be worth analyzing it somewhat, as there are also a lot of people who look at a pig or a wolf and have a very different experience. It's always good to understand yourself more, and hallucinogens are a heck of a tool to do that, if you can sort out the root of the issue. I suspect you might have stopped a bit short of the root cause (fear/uncertainty towards non-humans)

Could be wrong, but that's what jumped out at me.

Even in a singular instance, if you are willing to help a customer after seeing their shirt, but wait until discovering their orientation to refuse helping them, that makes a pretty strong argument it's about the latter and not the former.
charcoal can be good or bad from a forestation perspective. Good is a healthy cycle and removal of trees as a contributor to that process.

Forests should not envelope all of the world, as that would kill of a number of other ecosystems.

The idea that forest should dominate everywhere is actually anti-ecological, in that it disrupts that natural balance.

We have in many cases, localized growth of forest, and regional deforestation [1]. Because the trees making up these ecological systems are local/regional also, we should seek to undo that damage where possible.
