1. If you claim "no vaccine in history was developed/approved as rapidly as the Covid vaccines" without having examined the timeline for the Salk polio vaccine, nor the technological advances that made rollout so speedy, you might be a #covidiot . nature.com/articles/d4158…

@Andreas65920876 As I said, the experiments are numerous and clear and convincing, even overwhelmingly so, for reasonable people. Not for unreasonable people. Get help.

@shallit43 The classic escape of a failed dogma. Real science doesn't hide behind "reasonable/unreasonable" labels. It delivers: proper isolation, purification, controlled experiments proving a virus exists and causes disease. Virology has none. The burden remains on you.

Der ganze Virus-Glaube ist ein gigantisches wissenschaftliches Luftschloss. Keine Beweise, nur Modelle, Computer-Sequenzen und Angst-Propaganda. Wir fordern echte Wissenschaft statt Dogma. Die Beweislast liegt bei den Virologen. Bis heute: Nicht erbracht.

@RFKJr_Official Your daily reminder that RFK Jr. is a pathological liar, who has lied about vaccines and profited from his lies for decades. Literally nothing he says can be believed.

There's inverse relationship between cholesterol and mortality. The real killer is inflammation, NOT cholesterol. Complete fabrication by big pharma to get the entire country on statins

@WillRicci Every time some far-Right nutcase tells a story like this, people investigate it and find out it's not true. Your twitter bio says that your expertise is "story telling", and that's what this is.

I had a professor at Cal State Long Beach who constantly trashed America as racist, oppressive, and irredeemable. He mocked the Constitution, capitalism, and virtually every American institution. At the end of the semester, he gave an emotional story about how his mother crawled through sewer pipes to reach America. So I raised my hand and asked: if America is this irredeemable, oppressive country, why did she risk everything to come here? And why are neither of you interested in going back? He didn’t answer the question. Instead he called me disrespectful. That’s because much of this ideology is not rooted in reality testing. It’s institutional theater rewarded by academia, media, and activism. The system incentivizes moral denunciation of America while simultaneously depending on the opportunities America uniquely provides.

@DHSgov @ICEgov If DHS doesn't want the truth told about ICE, maybe they should prevent ICE from assaulting and killing more American citizens.

While the rest of America was honoring our fallen heroes, New Jersey sanctuary politicians spent Memorial Day weekend smearing @ICEgov law enforcement and fighting for criminals. These are some of the HEINOUS criminals New Jersey sanctuary politicians want to be YOUR neighbor:

@iPaulRob @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Triggered!

@shallit43 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Says the man with the Nazi flag..

In my @DailyMail essay on the @theCCCuk's new report, I point out that they have a vested interest in exaggeration. "Between the moment when these climatecrats wake in the morning and the moment they lay their overworked brains to rest on feather pillows at night, they have one all-consuming ambition: to maximise their own budget. They achieve this goal by being as alarmist as possible. Imagine if they found evidence that climate change was no big deal or even good news: would they want to publish this? Of course not. It would be disastrous for their (taxpayer-funded) income. The committee has never produced a report on global greening: the remarkable 15-20 per cent increase in green vegetation on the planet over the past four decades, caused mostly by carbon dioxide emissions. Nor do its members talk about falling deaths from cold weather anywhere near as much as they do about the smaller number of deaths from hot weather. Good news for us, in short, is no news for them.

@jcech344 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Maybe you missed the part where it was Ridley who first said "they have a vested interest in exaggeration". So dumb

@shallit43 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Pointing out what you consider a conflict as some equivalency is so typical of the alarmists. Unfortunately it doesn't address the very valid and extensive points he raised about the severely flawed model used by alarmists.

@ltg1810 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Another person who missed the point badly.

@shallit43 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk What did Matt Ridley say that was incorrect?

@SClively @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk You missed the point entirely.

@shallit43 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Ridley has declared his interests in interviews many times over the years.

@StronsayConsult @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk Clauser has zero expertise in climatology. Try again

@shallit43 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk What type of computers did you do your science on Jeff? You might want to ask for your money back. Here is some free eduction from a genuine scientist . A Nobel Laureate no less... youtube.com/watch?v=8-Woob…

@DOJRR47 Just like Stalin

Nothing “quiet” about it. We are proud to reverse the DOJ’s weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ’s website of partisan propaganda.

@GeoDev1962 @mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk This must have sounded better in the original Russian.

@mattwridley @DailyMail @theCCCuk The climate change alarmists and their imaginary crisis, has always been a Crisis and Leviathan power grab play. If you read the book, you start seeing the pattern regularly. The globalist, socialist, authoritarians are moving on to new imaginary crises. They're despicable liars.

@DHSgov People would give you more respect if you would own up to your own misconduct. That's what a normal, ethical DHS would do. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrati…

Honor the lions who defend our homeland. Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend, patriots.

@AlanLevinovitz When people suffering from Morgellons insist that their symptoms are caused by parasites, or that they are growing cotton, silk, or synthetic fibers inside their bodies, it's important to help them understand this is not the case.

@AlanLevinovitz Now you're using a different word--"fake"--whereas before you objected to "real". I am talking about what people mean when they say "it's not real". I hope your book takes a nuanced approach to what that might mean.

My entire forthcoming book is about this question: "But is the illness real?" The answer — spoiler alert — is that unless the person is lying about their suffering, asking whether the illness is real makes no sense.

@BishopBlougram @anderssandberg You don't even understand that there are different LLM's and you are comparing apples to oranges. I'm muting you now because you have literally nothing of interest to say, you don't understand how to evaluate claims,and you won't take responsibility for your own exaggerations.

@shallit43 @anderssandberg So, we have models that can solve so open math problems but are infinitely (literally; they did not pick up the rules despite being fed with 1,000 times more examples ) worse than your average 6-year-old. Is that AGI or savantism?

This is impressive: it is a problem I had actually heard of. It looks like the solution approach is surprising to mathematicians. It was a general reasoning model rather than a specialized one: bitter lesson time. I think the stochastic parrot is now nuked from orbit.

@kareem_carr But not if you're a journal editor who has to deal with all the LLM-written submissions from people who do math as a hobby

my gut reaction to ai in math is i'm excited about getting access to an infinitely patient teacher that's near expert in every area of math. this is possibly the best time in history to be doing math as a hobby.

@BishopBlougram @anderssandberg Yes, we should definitely accept everything that anyone says in an autobiography as gospel. You are SO SMART

@shallit43 @anderssandberg My 2023 piece has the quote from Capablanca's autobiography. And yes, he is an anomaly. My daughter, who I don't think is a chess prodigy, picked up how pieces move after watching perhaps ten games. SOTA: 10,000+ games, do not understand the rules. @Blougram/check-mate-gpt-the-dangers-of-mistaking-reasoning-for-pattern-recognition-221824e4dc6a" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@Blougram/chec…
