@zdeborova @eiszett Being banned is the kind option. I'd prefer you were stripped of all degrees and imprisoned. The societal harm caused by academic frauds like yourself is difficult to overstate.

@eiszett Have you read all the sources you ever cited? During my PhD we, along with dozens of other papers, cited a paper that I later found did not contain the result for which it was commonly cited. I should be banned I guess.

Occasional errors and oversights are part of science. If we lost our driver’s license for a year every time we exceeded the speed limit by 10 km/h, daily life would become unworkable. Many countries instead use point systems, where trust can be rebuilt through good behavior.

@whothehellsjack You could not pay me to post something this blatantly retarded online.

No I work in retail where I can quite literally see how much money I’m making the company. I’ll do anywhere between $600 and $2000 in a 5hr shift while only making $71. It’s more radicalizing to see the dramatic extent at which your surplus labor is being extracted

@Empty_America Yes, and that is a net good.

Guys complain about "feminized" society, but in a "masculinized" society you get hit a lot. Your dad whips you with a belt, the teachers at school can hit you, other males can hit you and nothing happens, the Sgt. at bootcamp can beat you, etc.

@TrumpTruthOnX Chinese students cheat at literally everything they can. The universities know this yet refuse to acknowledge it openly or do anything about it. I've seen this firsthand. They are not "good students."

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump: '500k Chinese students — good students, by the way If you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out'

@DefNotDarth You could not pay me to get online and broadcast this level of cowardice

For people who think “stand your ground” laws mean you can shoot people more liberally without repercussions, a word of advice. RUN! In front of you is a violent person you MIGHT be able to shoot. But sprint in the other direction and there’s a ZERO percent chance you catch a charge. Simple math. Don’t shoot people because you think you MIGHT be able to beat the case. That’s fucking retarded.

@SydSteyerhart Next century? yea probably Next decade? lol, lmao even

Human labor is simply being phased out over the next decade. The sooner we stop gaslighting ourselves about this and accept the inevitability, the sooner we can start planning for how to make UBI work.

The same people told you that NAFTA would replace all the manufacturing jobs. It's simply false. Even if there is a boom of "new job types" (there won't be), those jobs will also be done by artificial intelligences and robots.

@CALUSA18 @r0ck3t23 Misses point > easily dismissed strawman > appeal to emotion > shifting goalposts > name-calling. Lol yeah buddy, I'm the stupid one. Ya got me.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 You're both stupid and evil. No, the world doesn't like mass murder, and the end does not justify the means, and power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had. Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation. Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it. Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans. They conquered until they collapsed. America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined. And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Almost unprecedented? It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history. The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid. It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed. America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it. That’s not policy. That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything. You’re being told a story right now. That America is the villain of history. You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one. The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it. And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.” Probably right. China has historically built walls, not fleets. But the real question isn’t about borders anymore. We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet. AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint. If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be? The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to? Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy. Billions lifted out of poverty. All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before. And carries no guarantee of being repeated. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was what it didn’t do after.

@ScienceFocusonX How long until they’re able to 3D print entire new Koreans so they don’t go extinct?

They literally 3D-printed an eyeball. And the blind guy can see again. Not a chip. Not a sensor. A full living human eye — retina, cornea, lens, optic nerve — built layer by layer in a printer. Bioengineers at KAIST in South Korea pulled it off. The whole thing took 6 hours to print. Living retinal cells stacked in precise layers with their own blood vessels. A hydrogel lens that auto-focuses. Biocompatible polymers shaping the white of the eye. And an optic nerve scaffold designed to guide fresh nerve growth straight to the brain. Then they put it inside a 31-year-old man who lost his sight 7 years ago in an industrial accident. Three weeks later, his brain started decoding the signals. He's now seeing at 20/60. Reading. Recognising faces. Naming colours. This is the first time a complex organ made of multiple tissue types has been printed AND successfully wired into the human nervous system. Science fiction quietly clocked out. Science just clocked in.

@CALUSA18 @r0ck3t23 You've shifted your goal posts (common of the stupid) from "murder of civilians is bad" to "but the world wouldn't like it." Your first point was easily dismissed; your second is irrelevant.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 Beijing (then Peking) was the capital of our ally China. If we turned on Chiang & nuked his city, we'd have helped Mao win. In any case, the premise that the world will love an all-powerful dictator nation runs counter to the truism that power corrupts.

Since 1945, assuming we had to nuke Beijing and Moscow to gain control of the respective countries, would the net death of civilians have been greater or less under American rule than they actually were during the 20th century? The answer is obvious and is exactly why people like you can never be in control.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 Guilty as charged. People who object to mass murder of civilians just b/c we don't approve of their govt. are the real problem.

@CALUSA18 @r0ck3t23 Probably just their capitals tbh. If your primary concern is the fickle "morality" of the modern age, you are exactly the problem.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 Oh yes, that changes everything. We could have just turned every city in the USSR & China into another Hiroshima. That's the kind of morality I want my country to exhibit.

@SydSteyerhart Galaxy Balls > Galaxy Brain

Same with how Bukele solved crime in El Salvador, the vast majority of problems don't actually require a galaxy brain. Machiavelli was just autistic.

@Rooneyhimself @jk_rjfk @r0ck3t23 Your response to "the world would be better off conquered" guy is "b-but what about when Britain mismanaged the POOR COLONIES?" 😂

@Josephtennant @jk_rjfk @r0ck3t23 And how many colonies suffered from mismanagement under the crown?

@Rooneyhimself @jk_rjfk @r0ck3t23 Weird to respond to a post while intentionally avoiding its point. Did Britain conquer a huge empire? Did it collapse? Did it permanently spread their ideals and culture? Is the world better for it? Yes, to all.

@Josephtennant @jk_rjfk @r0ck3t23 Pride goeth before the fall. Can you even comprehend the logistics needed to support a one nation world? Read up on the management flaws of the British Empire, then get back to us.

@tomfs3 @r0ck3t23 Literally all of human history proves you wrong. And that was before an advantage like nukes.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 If the US had tried to take over the world they would have had to drop so many nukes half of the world would have been destroyed. People stand up to bullies even bullies with nukes.

@3rdElwood @r0ck3t23 Yes, bingo. That is exactly the problem. Nailed it.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 We had an unprecedented stretch of peace after WW eleven.

@petermx14 @r0ck3t23 Yea basically

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 She's a moron? You sound quite the intellectual.

Within the first year, disband the USSR and occupy Russia (if they resist at all, nuke Moscow and any amassment of Red Army troops). The rest of the world becomes a collection of vassal states. Resistance receives the nuclear treatment. Any research or development of nuclear tech by any non-American entity gets them nuked. Call it SAD (singularly assured destruction). All vassals pay tribute.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 What would you have done?

@petermx14 @r0ck3t23 Webb is a moron, and you apparently don't know what "conquer" means.

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 Why are there US bases all around the world? Whitney Webb effectively compiled all the information that was out there from various sources about how the US has always been very busy trying to conquer the world since Before World war 2.

@CALUSA18 @r0ck3t23 You apparently dont know what a nuke is

@Josephtennant @r0ck3t23 Yes, after 4 years of war & 400K dead Americans & millions around the world we should have continued the war, invaded Russia, taken out the Chinese Communist insurgents & ruled the world. Are you for real?
