Considering I’ve been screeching this to myself, I wonder how they heard.

science is principled on the concept of reproducibility.

If the information is behind a paywall, it’s inaccessible and therefore beyond critique, making it unscientific.

Stealing publications and releasing them open source brings rigor to science

at a typical temperature and pressure, sure.

vee, loop up.

Is anyone going to tell them?

that’s the trick. don’t start your PhD in acadamia

Guaranteed way to speed up climate change

bruh

I mean, I think not, having lived on them, and not wanting to go back.

Its about information density. The “things” we interact with, they almost never fit into an equal dimensional density across two dimensions. There is almost always more substantially more information in one dimension than the other.

A spread sheet you are interacting with is almost always either longer in one way, or wider in another. Even if it wasn’t, creating a manner in which it could be optimally viewed would make the content irrelevantly small.

We’re better off picking one of the two dimensions, committing to an orientation, and then rotating our monitor to fit that. If we do that, we’ll get more information per unit area on the screen.

We did that for decades. It was pretty miserable.

… you dont report your science this way?

See the cat is asking if it can have a haburger.

Meanwhile:

Yeah, I’ll pop in and watch one sometimes, but I was like, a shirt buying, subscribing, pod-cast listening fan. And I really enjoyed his show with Brady. But it felt like all Gray did was talk about productivity, and like… no content was coming out. Granted this was many, many years ago. It does look like the recipe is still working, but there were times where it would be… months, almost years between pieces of content. Which was at odds with the very early under-produced days. But I found the obviously scripted and overproduction involved the post, the forced-ness of it all very off putting. I would put the demarcation at pre and post “Humans need not apply”, which I still think is probably the best video they’ve done. And that video was 10 years ago.

Man… I was such a fan in the early days. And then they got all into “productivity culture” and… basically stopped producing content. And what they did produce was overproduced and insufferable.

It’s taking everything I have to not go in a diatribe about binomial nomenclature

if you want to keep losing elections, keep at it.

There are no mental gymnastics, and unless you’ve been absent in the debate since it began in 2023, it’s been one conversation regarding the direction of the Democratic party, with effectively two camps.

The first camp, effectively taking the party line and acting as cheerleaders of the DNC, have taken a “No critisism of the Democratic Party is acceptable; voters need to move to the positions of the DNC” approach.

The second camp took a “The DNC needs to be better and acknowledge it’s shortcomings, and make changes when necessary. The DNC needs to align itself with DNC voters and the party base.”

The first camp, for the first 8 months of 2024, insisted we had to run Joe Biden. That there were no other possibilities, options, or potential outcomes. They defended the approach the DNC took to the primary process, which was by any measure, the least democratic primary they party had ever held.

The second camp raged at the preposterous farce which was the DNC primary. They pointed out that Bidens poll numbers were so bad he basically had no chance of winning. That by insisting on this losing strategy we were losing critical time.

Bans were made, here, regarding this debate. And the first camp was wrong. There was another way possible.

After the candidates were swapped the first camp further insured that people just needed to move to where the DNC was, after taking effectively a pro genocide, Republican lite campaign philosophy as an outcome of the convention.

The second camp pointed out that this would lose the DNC the election, that we needed our focus to be on moving the candidate to a more popular, more electable position.

The first camp won the argument and lost us all the war, because their fundamental belief in what is being argued and whom they are arguing with is wrong. The first camp is responsible for the millions of votes difference between Kamala and Biden, because they insisted on this losing strategy.
