I can be very incendiary just to get arguments started. Other than that I am very reasonable. After all, I am Thanos.

Socialist who has no self awareness says concentrating power is bad, but apparently not when it comes to concentrating it to government, but when talking about more people being able to build more homes, which would be a diffusion of power.
Rigel@RigelOrionBeta

@Lormif1 @neilblock @mattyglesias Who do you think is going to build more houses: the guy with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, or the guys will millions? Who do you think will win land bidding? Who do you think will win contracts from the government? Power concentration is inherently bad!

@Timpossible_21 @martinmbauer Taking pictures of a black hole is not new physics, neither is sending a probe to Pluto. I know about the Higgs that's why I said *almost* no new physics

@alcibiades5410 @Hassaan_PHY Psychology doesn't have US security services classifying discoveries for multiple decades. Physics does, as per the Biden administration telling Marc Andreesen that they were going to do to AI what they did to physics.

1. Everyone else doesn't agree that physicists have lost the plot. There is a significant number of people who think this (often lay audience led astray by people like yourself), but certainly not everyone. Whoever is under the impression that everyone thinks this way is stuck in an echo chamber. 2. If a large number of people believe something, that doesn't make it true. It is more about public perception, which is clearly not dictated by facts (especially today). Large numbers of people have had many other erroneous beliefs in the past (a long list can be provided here) 3. Theoretical Physics isn't as successful in the 21st century as it was, say, in the first quarter of the 20th century. However, the reasons for this fact don't include the talking points that you have helped spread, e.g., "Physicists are lying for grant money". #physics #scicomm
Sabine Hossenfelder@skdh

he's entirely right of course. even if you think he is wrong, at the very least physicists should think about why everyone else agrees they've lost the plot.

> Who cares what the idiot masses think? There's the elitism, folks. Free marketeers will repeat "people know what's best for themselves" ad nauseum, but they'll scream when people don't prefer the free market.

@kevinxu Personally think you should use college as a time to expand your mind and make friends, not maximize your market value. Major in something that you're passionate about.

@bl0rq You bring up school vouchers as of that means that your ideas are winning. It doesn't. They're offered alongside public education.

@SamsonCorwell We are talking aboug government education in a democratic system. Therefor, government education is democracy-driven education. It is the core reason it is a bad idea.

@SamsonCorwell You are not using logic at all. And 30 states have SOME form of voucher system, 18 of which are universal. And that number is increasing.

@SamsonCorwell No, its because democracy doesn’t work. The people are too easily lead around by propaganda. The whole concept of “everyone gets a vote” democracy needs to end too.

@SamsonCorwell The entire story of the progress of our species has been making steps away from the kings and emperors towards freedom. We will keep making steps that direction.
