Oh, you've identified a problem? Have you considered calling it an "emergency"? Have you considered throwing everything at it, no matter the cost? Have you considered destroying ppl's lives over it? Have you considered bombing it? No? Well then maybe you're 🫵 the problem.

Might it be that we ultimately find these narratives reassuring? After all, they turn one of life’s great cruelties—epidemics—into an essentially fixable problem. “If only we close the labs and prosecute the bad guys,” they seem to promise, “then we could avoid a Next Time.” 2/

Intriguing that many epidemics appear to be accompanied by some lab leak, or lab leak-style, narrative. While it doesn’t tell us much—or anything—about the truth or falsity of specific claims (e.g. that COVID leaked from the WIV), we should nonetheless ponder why that is. 1/

UK Meningitis B Outbreak Suspicious for Laboratory Derived, Highly Pathogenic Strain Emerging from National Meningococcus Bio-Lab Just a few hours away from Kent University work is being done on highly infectious and deadly stains of same bacteria.

How Covid fear shaped the meningitis response: “We’re still seeing reverberations from the pandemic,” Prof Robert Dingwall says, pointing to both “unreasonable expectations of public health” and the misplaced belief that medicine can eliminate all risk. newstatesman.com/politics/healt…

@ChMark161 This is fair, but also true most most social compacts. Everything is flux to some extent, after all. As such it may still be reasonable to aspire to a state broadly resembling, or inspired by, the one that you describe.

@MaxFromMax We 🇨🇦 GenX didn't grow up in a time of great economic prosperity relative to the boomers, but racial/cultural issues were a solved problem. The only argument against returning is that that state was somehow unstable, inevitably leading to now.

@MaxFromMax The first option, that it's not a prof's job to have an opinion on the question or care, is the "neither" case. In my GenX Toronto youth, we didn't care about race and made that attitude normative.

@MaxFromMax "Students are individuals and it's not my job to have an opinion on overall group differences" is fine. "All differences in racial outcomes are due to systemic discrimination and correctable with opposing discrimination" is not. Which do we see in academia today?

One must imagine Sisyphus (who wanders in a world of germs waiting to explode upwards and destroy him) happy (and mask- and other neurosis-free).

🚨 Iran is strategically holding back its doctors of philosophy. Larijani was a moderate Kantian. DC fears the escalation ladder: Hegelian → Schmittian → Heideggerian → post-structuralist At the final stage, the subject dissolves, the target disappears, power is everywhere

Secondhand embarrassment so potent it gives you a stomach ache.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard@DNIGabbard

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

I used to think it's wrong to massacre civilians and carpet bomb large cities but then a clever and insightful right winger informed me that if I was Iranian I'd be wearing a hijab so now I think it's good.
