Right, the CCP committees are just there to organize picnics. Sure.

Look, I think anyone who has spent a significant amount of time in both places understands that there is a major difference in the way private companies relate to the government in China versus in the U.S. For example, it's far more common for U.S. companies to sue the government over laws or policies they disagree with, whereas in China it's just taken as given that officials have a lot of discretion.

You bring up Meta having US intelligence onboard - I assume you're referring to the Edward Snowden / PRISM revelations. Remember that this was a huge scandal precisely because the idea of American companies working with intelligence agencies to spy (even inadvertently) on Americans is considered so repugnant. Whereas in China it's just taken as given that the government can read your WeChat (or whatever) messages whenever they feel like it, and any encrypted messaging apps that gain a following are quickly removed from app stores.

This is not a distinction without a difference; China is a totalitarian state where you have essentially no right to speech or privacy. The U.S., for all its flaws, is not like that.

> Went to look up Ambien's company's stock.

Ambien has been generic for a very long time. It's not an expensive drug.

It's also not even indicated for long-term nightly use. You can find stories online of people who get continuous prescriptions from their doctor, but doing so is a rare practice. Most doctors are nervous to prescribe any drug of this class right now. When they do, it's only for short-term or occasional use.

I don't think this is really a pitchforks-out moment against drug companies.
As an oatmeal connoisseur, I'd be remiss not to point out that the two oatmeal products being compared there are not the same.

Idk I think there is a ton of overlap between industry and the highest levels of government.

I would like a study that presents all this graphs (separately) to people and have them choose the inflection point. They would not all be on 1971. Some are very clearly a different year or just a gradual change.

The adding of arrows biases people to say everything happened in 1971 exactly.

I think there was a shift in national priorities and attitudes - roughly late 60s to early 80s. But, this bias is tricking people into thinking that one particular event was the cause of this shift.
There is a very simple rebuttal to this: In almost every high $$ trial the defense and prosecution will both call expert witnesses. These experts will then directly contradict and disagree with each other. Which of these experts should be trusted? It was an expert who testified that cigarettes are good for you, an expert who testified that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and an expert who verified that Oxycontin is not addictive. Those are not the people you want to learn from, no.

We celebrate countless outsiders like Galileo and Darwin who have disrupted the consensus of "experts" and were considered highly political at the time. History simply does not defend the infallibility of "experts", and does support the idea that you should not blindly trust a person who claims expertise.

Everybody should look into the work of Philip Tetlock and consider reading his book Superforecasters. There is a mountain of scientific evidence to show that the more a person considers themselves an expert in a topic the more vulnerable they are to making assumptions and being proven wrong as time progresses.
I think the best way to defend against this type of abuse is to make it law that any assets collected by police are not allowed to directly benefit the police or the government they represent.

Now you can and absolutely should (IMO) make the argument that the fabs are far more important than the agricultural use in the area which is far more wasteful.

I haven't seen that many conversations on how this is ultimately benefiting the employee who is expected to fill that void by pulling in more from the queue. The general direction of conversation is how soon will the inevitable x==8 materialize eliminating the employee's employment.

1. Pull in more work from the queue.
2. Invest in picking up a new skill.
3. Leave work early to spend more time with loved ones.

While the US uses an inactivated polio vaccine, many countries still use a polio vaccine created using an attenuated virus. This virus can revert to a dangerous form. This happens if you have a partially vaccinated population.

This means that unvaccinated people can be infected with a strain of polio that can cause paralysis. This is extremely rare in the US (there was one case of one affected person in 2022).

Currently, the polio vaccine is recommended in the US, and vaccination rates in different US States are between 86% (Idaho) and 99% (Mississippi). If the vaccination rate decreases, it is possible that polio cases will become more common, or even that polio might become endemic again.

RFK has said conflicting things about the polio vaccine. Aaron Siri, a lawyer affiliated with Kennedy, petitioned the FDA to revoke polio vaccine's approval, but RFK said that he supports the polio vaccine in response. I think it's fair to be skeptical, though, given his general position on vaccines.

If RFK's actions cause polio vaccination rates to fall, there is a real reason to be concerned. I don't think this is scaremongering, this is a plausible possibility based on what we know about polio, and about RFK's position on vaccination.

> Kennedy has insisted that he is not anti-vaccine, saying he only wants vaccines to be rigorously tested, but he also has shown opposition to a wide range of immunizations. Kennedy said in a 2023 podcast interview that “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective” and told Fox News that he still believes in the long-ago debunked idea that vaccines can cause autism. In a 2021 podcast he urged people to “resist” CDC guidelines on when kids should get vaccines.

> “I see somebody on a hiking trail carrying a little baby and I say to him, better not get them vaccinated,” Kennedy said.

> That same year, in a video promoting an anti-vaccine sticker campaign by his nonprofit, Kennedy appeared onscreen next to one sticker that declared “IF YOU’RE NOT AN ANTI-VAXXER YOU AREN’T PAYING ATTENTION.”

What. This is personally mind-blowing if true.
We (humans) don't subsist on some Matrix-like slop that provides all of our nutrients for no pleasure. Eating is a weird combination of necessity and pleasure activity. You could ask: if there's even a slight chance it causes cancer, and it adds nothing to the food other than a slightly more appealing taste, why risk it? You'd ban most spices with this line of reasoning.

At the end of the day, the safest thing (in terms of avoiding cancer) is probably to plant some potatoes in your backyard and eat them unspiced and unbuttered for the rest of your life. Most of us prefer food that is a bit more appealing than that, however. Appealing in all aspects - taste, texture, and appearance.
Don't blame it on the people, correct.

I use chatGPT now for almost everything and when in the car have full back n forth conversations to get things done (or as a knowledge-base) there too. Recently i was discussing with it how do i properly get rid (junk) my old car in Pennsylvania. It provided all the steps and gave me local businesses. Though it didn't call them or interface with them to find their available times/costs, tell me such details & have me instruct it to schedule my preferred choice. Which i wish it did and prompted thoughts how it could do so, as technology that gets adopted mostly is tech that has simplified our lives.
