Konstantin asks Warren Smith (inveterate critical thinking expert) if he has a methodology for improving one's critical thinking.
Can someone watch this and tell me what the fuck Warren's answer was

@HankRashad @zaa_warudo_ @XiWellWisher Stop pretending that your kind gets anything but chicken wings a Chinese places.

I’m surprised people are so shocked about RF Kuang. She is a western arch-liberal who supports regime change in China. Of course she’s a liberal Zionist!
mar@viciousmarks
i think having an author like rfk mention israel is even more jarring considering what all her books have as central themes like this is just bonkers

@Honolulu_____ @s3x1919 I jerked off to a mainland girl i found on xhs yesterday. She has a really curvy body and big tits.

@s3x1919 i understand the thesis is extraordinary and outlandish, which is why I'm not asking you to accept it immediately, just spend some time
a. browse some HK and mainland bikini galleries
b. chat with AI about PCBs and facial symmetry

香港小姐-秘学专家@Honolulu_____
@hoeflatoor 4/ the HK PCBs levels (measured from breast milk samples) is almost 2x higher than the mainland average, but that includes polluted coastal regions; if you look at inland areas that's less industrialized and eat less seafood, it's 5x or more

When I tell them about how the CCP is evil they’ll try to change the topic to EVs, drones, public infrastructure, renewable energy or AI
their souls are at stake but glittery gadgets are in the way
香港小姐-秘学专家@Honolulu_____
I genuinely want mainland China to be as destitute and miserable as possible (while still having widespread internet access) so they’re more amendable to theories about why the CCP sucks ass the material prosperity is an impediment I want the US to (moderately) destroy China

@tombelaviv_ @SpaceCow1992 He just isn't in the position to fight right now. After more than a decade of civil war the country is very weak and he is having enough trouble just holding things together. He defiantly isn't a Israel proxy, meaning that Israel is telling him to do whatever they want. (cont)
English
@tombelaviv_ @SpaceCow1992 Israel did favor him over Assad in the civil war because Assad had planes and missiles that could threaten isreal.
But proxy implies more collaboration than really happened.
And as the other person said now that Assad is gone israel has no interest in helping them out.

@nic_carter @AndrewCurran_ Common sense. I would think you as a Catholic would understand that from a first principles, epistemological standpoint it just doesn't stand to reason.

New update from Scott Aaronson. He continues:
'And I’d say that that makes my own moral duty right now ironically simple and clear: namely, to use my unique soapbox, as the writer of The Internet’s Most Trusted Quantum Computing Blog Since 2005TM, to sound the alarm.
So, here it is: if quantum computers start breaking cryptography a few years from now, don’t you dare come to this blog and tell me that I failed to warn you. This post is your warning. Please start switching to quantum-resistant encryption, and urge your company or organization or blockchain or standards body to do the same.'
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_
Scott Aaronson on his blog talking about Shor's, quantum, and crypto: 'When I got an early heads-up about these results—especially the Google team’s choice to "publish" via a zero-knowledge proof—I thought of Frisch and Peierls, calculating how much U-235 was needed for a chain reaction in 1940, but not publishing it, even though the latest results on nuclear fission had been openly published just the year prior. Will we, in quantum computing, also soon cross that threshold? But I got strong pushback on that analogy from the cryptography and cybersecurity people who I most respect. They said: we have decades of experience with this, and the answer is that you publish. And, they said, if publishing causes people still using quantum-vulnerable systems to crap their pants … well, maybe that’s what needs to happen right now.'

@provisionalidea @SigmaMaleAnon Hmm, more ad hominems and zero arguments. I'm sensing a pattern here.
English
@gzman1248 @SigmaMaleAnon if “why don’t you read it yourself” (ie the work stands on its own merits) makes you react with “I’d rather trust the prefab opinion of the charlatan than read”, your brain is fucking cooked
English
I can't believe the AI hype people are trying to discredit one of the few good, impartial signals on market adoption, which is necessary for businesses to make informed decisions on how to go about improving adoption rates, just because they don't want the results to be true, and think people believing the data might negatively affect their valuations.
this is so fucking sleazy.
here's an idea -- why don't people actually listen to why barriers to adoption exist and do something about it, instead of plugging their ears and pretending all you need is hype?

'MIT Study Shows 95% of AI Projects Lose Money' was the #1 AI meme for the public (and politicians) last year. So I looked into this 'study'. It was… much worse than I would have guessed. And I suspect not by mistake. The authors had a hidden agenda from the start. I explain:

@iron_redux He tries way too hard to sound smart. Also "more complex than mechanical systems" niggas have never seen an automatic trans valve body
English
I like this guy but it's just so obvious when someone has absolutely no clue what they're talking about.
English
@provisionalidea @SigmaMaleAnon Rob made a lot of precise points using the text of the study. You don't, but instead question his motives. This makes me trust Rob.
English
@SigmaMaleAnon no.
Strongly recommend just reading the report yourself rather than Rob's video, in the ten minutes it would take to watch that shlock you could actually evaluate the data, learn something, and make up your own mind instead of adopting a premade opinion.

@glm_mike @teortaxesTex Is the ruling class the rich? And are they uniquely invested in Atlanticism because the us has a lot of wealth?
English
@gzman1248 @teortaxesTex becoz Atlanticism suit the interest of the current ruling class, and there is no alternative.
English
If they did this, Europeans would notice weakness, feel emboldened and sanction China to hell and back. The faction of Estonia, Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, the Netherlands and other leading states will never suffer Communism and chinx to prevail. Russia is just in the way.
English
@glm_mike @teortaxesTex Why does EU need to adopt a different political system to give up Atlanticism.
English
@teortaxesTex Unless European countries adopt a different political system, they won't give up Atlanticism.
Also consider what RU & EU can offer to China, Russia is just much more existential.
EU has geopolictial issue with Russia, but China also trade with NK & SK. Where is the problem?

@NotWoofers Face saving seems to be their #1 priority. Explains a lot of their behavior.
English
I don’t understand why the Russians won’t evacuate the population from Tuapse. It’s an environmental disaster and no one - human or animal - should be there. Is it a face-saving thing? Like they don’t want the PR hit that comes from evacuating?
Everyone should leave the city.
Woofers@NotWoofers
Russia has finally announced evacuations in Tuapse…. From houses around the refinery…. To a school in Tuapse.

@JamesMason61702 @Bluebearmonkey This would have been funny if you made the head purple

It’s more because wypipos are too stoopid to get past rudimentary Mandarin than anything else.

I remember 15 or so years ago there were countless Chinese emersion programs being started in schools and a bunch of white guys on the internet learning Chinese because it was supposed to become the business language of the future and that shit ever happened.

@iron_redux @BeekeeperFinale Maybe it is different in other areas but all but one of the irish americans i know are mixed with something else and only vaguely care about Ireland.
English
@BeekeeperFinale you think Somali-Americans and Irish-Americans assimilated into the culture and identity of the majority?

Which immigrants actually assimilated to the American identity? Germans no? But did anyone else??

@LooshGenerator @MickWest 2 instances of "trained observers" getting things completely wrong. Good evidence that pilot testimony shouldn't overpower common sense.

@MickWest How fucking dumb are you to think this works?
Who do you really think falls for this?
You look like a fucking tool ass bitch just constantly posting “nothing to see here totally not a thing” over and over and over on every imaginable instance

Sean Kirkpatrick reveals what was shot down after the Chinese Spy balloon.
More balloons, one from a Boy Scout troop, and the other a Happy Birthday balloon. Both shot down with $500K missiles.

Interesting that Russia's Africa ventures started collapsing after the state took over from Wagner. Prigozhin was quite smart and passionate about his interests. I doubt much of the Wagner culture, demented yes but somewhat competent, survived in the Africa Corps.
