@pureMetatron People have been talking about that since the sixties, at least

I wonder how long until we start talking about AI rights.

@pureMetatron When you say "We ... as a nation" are we talking America or Italy?

I'm gonna die on this hill. Charlie Kirk dies, people laugh and dance. Rob Reiner dies, people laugh and dance. Now Robert Muller died, Trump says he is glad he is dead. Trump will die, people will be dancing and celebrating. Biden will die, people will be dancing and celebrating. Can we make it a thing where it's just morally wrong to celebrate death? It's inappropriate, petty, vindictive and morally out of place. We need to be better than this as a nation and a people.

THE CULT. The great majority of scientists are part of a metaphysical cult where however much shit is happening in the "natural" world it occurs in another time/space to the "human" world. Here is a classic example: "The Arctic area is particularly vulnerable in terms of climate change, she says, because "the warming reported there is occurring about four times faster compared to the global average". Rising temperatures may be acting directly on marine organisms, the researcher says, but beyond that, "it is also causing cascading changes such as melting glaciers and sea ice, turbidity of waters associated with increasing suspended solids run-off from rivers and melting glaciers, desalination of surface waters and increasing acidification of waters resulting from increased dissolved CO2 concentrations in water”. - .... and so? - oh yes - sorry, forgot to mention it - yes, this will lead to several hundred million human deaths ... for starters. - no worries, just wanted to finish the causal chain - thanks. euronews.com/2026/02/22/exp…

There is a limit on how far we can let climate run away now, if we are to give the next generation an opportunity. See Runaway – mailchi.mp/caa/runaway-cl… Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/runaway-clim…

@EricRWeinstein You want to advocate to abolish snap/food stamps, social security, Medicare and medicaid while your at it?

UBI is for pussies and slaves. They are privatizing and repurposing all of human achievement for themselves and calling it training data or “The Corpus”. Get up. And fight. Dammit. Accept UBI and you enter that underclass, so grateful for the stolen morsel you were returned.

@DrRandomercam An idiot in any way in particular that you had in mind as you posted this?

Hi I’m an idiot. (I figured I’d skip the formalities of showing it. I’ll just tell you.)

@SydneyLWatson Warn about what?

I tried to warn everyone FOUR YEARS AGO, and you all called me a liar. And now y'all are in my DMs telling me I'm vindicated? Truly, fuck so many of you to the fucking moon.

@matthewgburgess Have you heard of the tragedy of the Commons

We have a new working paper out that tries to reconcile recent pessimistic studies of climate adaptation with broadly improving trends in human well-being. Abstract and link below. tl;dr: economic development is the most important determinant of climate-sensitive outcomes on policy-relevant space and time scales, and development-driven adaptation is underappreciated in climate change research and policy. This has important implications, we argue, for cost-benefit analysis of climate policies with economic downsides (they could actually harm *climate-sensitive outcomes*, not just the economy), interpreting the social cost of carbon in policy (it might be missing half the ledger), interpreting 'no-climate' counterfactuals in climate impact studies (they are usually misleading), and climate justice (for which economic development should be a top priority). Our paper puts some theory and numbers behind some of what we think @BillGates was trying to say in his fall memo (and more). In the big picture, both reducing GHG emissions (mitigation) and adaptation are key pieces of solving the climate problem. The global community should continue collaborating to reduce emissions. Economically beneficial mitigation (deploying cheap renewables, efficiency, etc.) is a win-win, and big investments in R&D are key to helping us find more win-wins. We shouldn't be retreating from these things. Because we can export new technologies to other countries, countries should have incentives to 'race to the top', chasing leadership in innovation and turning the commons problem on its head. So, while governments are right to be cautious about climate policies that could be economically damaging, we argue, they should be full-steam ahead on developing and deploying low-cost mitigation and adaptation solutions, lest they fall behind in the global tech race (not to mention hurting their economies). Because local mitigation has approximately zero short-term effect on local climate-sensitive outcomes, we (climate scientists, advocates, politicians, etc.) should stop telling people and communities that demonizing fossil fuel companies will save them from the next flood, storm or fire. It won't. E.g., we show that LA could have eliminated their GHG emissions after Katrina and done virtually nothing to reduce their near-term hurricane risk. If we want to make ourselves safer locally from floods, fires and storms, we should adapt--e.g., with fuel control, better levies, better infrastructure, etc. Growing our economies will naturally help with some of these things. Mitigation ultimately matters too, but it operates at much larger space and time scales. Those are some quick, non-exhaustive highlights from the paper. I'll have more to say about this paper later this week. @PatrickTBrown31 @mattkahn1966 @RogerPielkeJr

@MrStevenSteele @BriannaWu I believe she is distinguishing between SJW tactics and SJW goals. She approves of the goals, but she regards the tactics as ineffective.

@BriannaWu Wait why would it be great if “the SJW stuff” did work?

I just literally don’t understand why I’m one of only a handful of Democrats willing to publicly say the 2014 SJW stuff doesn’t work. It would be great if it did work. I would love a society where women got a fairer shake and people had access to healthcare. But we’ve been trying this for 11 years. All it does is create organizations that destroy themselves internally. Everyone is so focused on being the victim the moral posturing becomes the point more than any political objective. It’s killing our party. The right wing has never been stronger and they are utterly corrupt and unworthy of power. Why can’t other people see this? Why won’t they say anything?

@BriannaWu Many people have said and saying such things. They generally get canceled for it. Ostracized by the left, then embraced by the right. And then often co-opted by the right, sadly.

@pureMetatron If an omnipotent God wanted to avoid his own death, the wiping out of any military presence or priests or guards would be unnecessary. The God could just choose to not die, and he wouldn't die, and no one else would have to die either. It'd be like trying to crucify Superman ...

I’m pro second amendment and understand what the message was here. With that being said, Jesus wasn’t murdered, He sacrificed Himself willingly. If He wanted to avoid His own death, the entirety of the Roman military presence in RomanJudea would have been wiped out, and the Jewish high priests and their guards with them. Matthew 26:53, telling Peter, "Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?" To remind bible believing Christians like me, biblical angels in the context of war are killing machines and did wipe out entire armies. He and Peter were both very familiar with the biblical reference here.

@Bijan_S @ClueCultComm @avidseries @kareem_carr Cone cells in our retinas are not social constructs

@ClueCultComm @avidseries @kareem_carr You are wrong because red and purple are, in fact, social constructs. The underlying reality is frequency of the magnetic spectrum. Colors are literally just socially constructed groupings, which are not even fully consistent between cultures

Reporter: "There's no scientific evidence to prove that a black woman and a white woman are genetically different." I cringed listening to this. The reporter is directionally right, but the explanation is so mangled that it's clear she doesn't know any biology. So the dude screams out, "They have genes that code for skin color," basically implying that black people have special black genes that code for black stuff. That's not how it works. FACT: As far as race is concerned, we all have the same genes. What differs is that we have different variants. And when I say "we," I mean human beings in general. You can have different gene variants than your parents or siblings, not just people of another race. FACT: There are no race-specific gene variants in the sense people mean. Virtually every common variant found in one population is found in others. Many of the same skin-color variants are shared across populations. Lighter variants are just less common in African populations, for example. We are all one human race. We all arise out of the same set of basic genetic building blocks. FACT: Frequencies differ between groups, but that would happen no matter what groups you picked geographically. Geographically close groups tend to be similar. The people we lump together as being the same race are usually physically close to each other, which is why it almost seems to make sense. But geography is the best way of thinking about human variation, not race. FACT: Because African populations contain the greatest genetic diversity, you can find two Black individuals who are more genetically different from each other than either is from a white individual. This isn’t just theory. You can literally demonstrate this with computational genetics. SUMMARY: It's not that groups don't differ. It's that the groupings themselves are statistical artifacts, crude social categories imposed on continuous geographic variation. This is why the overwhelming scientific consensus on race is that race is a social construct.

@pureMetatron Ad hominin attacks on political opponents. The bases eat it up. If you think it's demonic, don't get caught casting disparaging comments on the physical appearances of any leftists you might despise

They murdered her husband and father of her children you demonic soulless monster. If she smiles you guys say she is not grieving. If she is angry you guys say she is evil. YOU are evil. God be my witness until the day I die I will call you out one by one.

@MikeyTheGray @andrewklavan @benshapiro Hating jews does not a right winger make. What do you think Ben Shapiro is if not a right winger? Is he a progressive socialist leftist in your eyes?

@andrewklavan @benshapiro What the hell is she talking about? The Andrew Klavan and Ben Shapiro show have made it a staple of their content to profusely denounce right wing figures.

Um, I've denounced all this stuff repeatedly. So has @benshapiro. With respect, it's no fair not listening to us, then denouncing us for what you didn't hear!

@EricRWeinstein @grok , is medicine a science?

Fauci is akin to a jihadi. Lots of damage. Scientists are like Sikhs. Yes, jihadis make fools angry at people who wear turbans. And? So? Fauci wasn’t a scientist. He was a Government Czar in a lab coat. Public Health was never a science. Ever. Can I make this any clearer?

@triggerpod The inconvenient truth of global climate warming.

What’s a truth everyone should accept, even if it’s uncomfortable?

@BjornLomborg It is a shame and a disappointment that prominent popular skilled and talented science communicators have failed to adequately counter and dispute Bjorn Lomborg's false conclusions and his cataclysmically harmful lies.

I'm rich & this is a lie. When politicians lower my taxes, I don't create additional jobs (only demand does that). I simply save that money Trickle-down economics has been repeatedly debunked yet conservatives lie to you so they can give their wealthy overlords more tax cuts
