The lunatic left that took over Twitter was Wormtongue to the World.
Firing @Jack was the final straw. He was the last bulwark.
Now Bret Taylor is chair of @OpenAI …

@C_3C_3 The graph of people, but especially kids, identifying as transgender literally nosedives as soon as Elon buys Twitter. Almost like it was a social contagion… …and people couldn’t talk about it because they were being censored Imagine that.

Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn.
So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works.
Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it?
Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them.
For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information.
Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible.
Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.

@maniaUFO Or perhaps you missed the point that South was to Egyptians what North is to us. The stars rose on the left/east (facing south) moved clockwise and set on the right/west. Even the picture provides the direction, characters face in the direction of the movement.

Rep. Mark Alford: "On the Bad Bunny bad performance at the Super Bowl -- we're still investigating this. There's a lot of information that has come out about the lyrics. I saw the halftime show -- we were switching back and forth with the TPUSA halftime show. The lyrics from what we've seen from Bad Bunny are very disturbing. And if it holds true -- I don't speak fluent Spanish, okay, I know how to ask where the bathroom is -- but if it's true what was said on national television, we have a lot of questions for the entities that broadcast this and we'll be talking with Brendan Carr from the FCC. This could be much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction."
