  • He has achieved a bunch of academic larping. These aren’t suitable experiences qualifying for sudden leadership of a large organization. Experiential learning is deeply important for high level leadership positions. The nature of time and space mean he simply cannot have this quality yet. Digging your heels in otherwise is such a braindead position to take. Jfc




  • Interesting. So you might have some sort of adjudication function, and then a person advocating on behalf, and also a person advocating in opposition of the, let’s just call them “defending person,” and maybe you try to in that way recognize and account for the particularities of each individual’s circumstances and the thing that they’re accused of?






  • First, that article literally says the process engineering analysis that paints a very dire picture of the scalability of cultured meat is difficult to find, so maybe cool it on “you should have known better.” However, it also is clear that there are A LOT of technical hurdles to overcome for lab meat, but it’s no more dead end than fusion research. It’s an important, arguably vital, area of study and research that needs to be seriously invested in so that we can one day introduce it to the toolkit of sustainable support for human society and life. While your sources have convinced me that lab meat is currently nowhere near scalable and likely will take significant developments in the culture process and even meat cells, I think your aggressive and extremely skeptical take on its value at all is more than a bit silly.








  • No, the best choice would have been to empower the one party that actually has, albeit often ignored but nevertheless significant, pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist members as part of its membership. And then to focus on improving that party and/or breaking up the duopoly along the natural and clear lines of opportunity present in the sole big tent party that’s left in US politics.

    At the end of the day, there are no significant pro-Palestinian voices in the Republican party. There are in the Democratic party And that indisputable fact alone should inform a strategic vote.

    That said, people are stupid and I don’t really blame non- and 3rd party voters for Democrats losing and the resulting shit show-- blame and culpability falls squarely on the many people who actually specifically voted for this. But it would be nice if those people would try to learn from and admit their incredibly disastrous error in judgement.
