I get you mentioned you don’t have disposable income to invest, but if you did, what about interest-based assets like treasury bonds, or even CDs or high-yield savings accounts? Would you be morally against those as well? Genuinely curious about your position here.

It’s…it’s just programming and statistics. That’s all it is. You’re fitting models to data and generating predictions and distributions. It’s not novel. AI is just scaling that up to very high-performance energy-sucking computing clusters to make cool little chatbots. What is with the hype??

“The People” have never been in power. We’ve always been a tyranny of landowners and shareholders operating under the guise of democracy. We haven’t quite figured how to build a truly democratic, self-governing society yet. That said, we should absolutely defund ICE.

Nope, the one making the positive claim has the burden of proof. Proving a negative isn’t typically something that should be expected in discourse.

Even if Hamas is in hospitals, you don't bomb hospitals. Even if Hamas steals aid, you don't stop or slow aid. Even if Hamas is evil, you don't punish Gazans. Even if October 7th was the worst moment for Jews since the Holocaust, you don't commit a genocide.

Slaughtering and starving an entire population of people as a form of collective punishment (which is a HUGE war crime) isn’t the answer either. And I’m sure you’ve gotten plenty of sound answers, you just personally don’t think any of them are viable, which is purely your own opinion.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s a really fucked up perspective.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Have you…have you actually convinced yourself that starving all of Gaza is the only way to achieve victory over Hamas?

Zionism didn’t exist in the 1600s. It’s a very modern movement/ideology dating back to the late 19th century. But no, Zionism is not synonymous with Judaism. There’s lots of non-Zionist and even anti-Zionist Jews around the world, or at the very least Jews that are heavily critical of Israel.

I am concerned about the harm that comes to innocent Jews because of rhetoric like this. As a Jew with a platform he should be more responsible than this.

Lmao I’m literally repeating what you said back to you. If you meant something different that’s on you. Communicate your points better and stop blaming others for your shortcomings.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you fucking joking? You literally told me to take my Israeli passport and go vote in Israeli elections. Your argument was that I *automatically have citizenship* just by being Jewish and that I *should already have a passport.* Step away from this, you’re embarrassing yourself.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
It sounds like I am though. Maybe he makes a more explicit distinction in the full video that’s not being shown here, but absolutely no where in this clip does he make any kind of distinction between Zionists and/or Israelis, and Jews in general. He only refers to Jews as a whole.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
About 46% of Jews in the world live in Israel. You could’ve easily googled that for yourself.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Most Jews living outside of Israel don’t have an Israeli passport dude. You are the ignorant one here.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Your reading comprehension sucks. This law doesn’t automatically grant Jews living abroad citizenship, it makes it easier for Jews who want to emigrate to Israel to acquire citizenship if they choose. I do not have an Israeli passport nor do most Jews that I know.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
WTF are you talking no I do not have automatic Israeli citizenship by being Jewish. That’s not the first time I’ve heard someone think that either, where are you getting this from??
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree with the sentiment here 100% but can we PLEASE stop generalizing Jewish people FOR ONCE in this discourse? Over half the world’s Jews do not live in Israel and have absolutely zero power over what Israel does. There is a significant amount of us who protest loudly against Israeli atrocities.

We don’t actually know the legal status of many of the individuals held in these prisons because they never received due process. And the conditions are so horrible that it’s almost guaranteed at least some will die.

If you genuinely believe in what ICE is doing…then that would be you. You would be the Nazi. People who support Nazis are also Nazis. And cops have always had to wear identification, so the fact that you think ICE should be exempt from that means you support a terroristic secret police force.

There’s no way you’re real lol
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Anti semites think all Jews are Zionists. Your post failed to distinguish between Zionist Jews and the rest of us. There’s lots of folks who literally think that Jewish orgs by default support Israel uncritically. I don’t think your intentions were bad at all, just take the critique in good faith.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Your post just says Jews/Jewish people. There was no specification beyond that.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Nope it’s pretty much just a broad generalization of Jews. My reading comprehension is just fine thank you very much.

That’s…a really shitty, prejudiced argument and one that’s divorced from reality. There’s plenty of Jews speaking out loudly against what’s happening. Every pro-Palestinian protest happening today and recently has a Jewish contingent, not mention online activism from Jews.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
I get the joke/satire that’s being made here, but Jews aren’t slaughtering Palestinian children. Israeli soldiers and the Israeli government are. This would be funnier if that distinction was maintained.

I was responding to the other person and their remark that democratic socialism is not the same as socialism.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Democratic socialism is a very large tent that includes traditional (ie Marxist/Leninist or some derivation) socialists and more contemporary non-Marxist strains of socialist thought, including market socialists and social Dems.

Absolutely no vaccine has ever worked 100% of the time or in 100% of people. Or any drug for that matter. That doesn’t make getting vaccinated any less critical on both an individual and population level. You’re free to choose not to get vaccinated, but there may be certain consequences.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
See now if you started with that instead of the nonsense you originally posted things may have gone differently for you here. However, the CDC advisory panel is not talking about periodic reexamination, they’re talking about complete removal.

Phase-outs have been toyed around with but never stuck. There were thimersol-free formulations at one point but I’m not sure if there still are.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Removing thimersol from flu vaccine formulations only makes them harder to acquire for low income countries since multi-dose vials can’t be produced without it. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the real agenda here.

AIPAC certainly has influence, but they are not an Israeli organization. They are pro-Israel, but not Israeli. They are an explicitly American lobbying group.

I do as well, and they engage in the same kind of fallacious thinking as you are here. And yes, you very much implied that us not knowing what caused the Big Bang lends credibility to the idea of a god.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Why do you assume God is automatically the correct answer where no other cause has yet been identified? This is a textbook logical fallacy, and science has pretty excellent track record when it comes to producing explanations for natural phenomena previously attributed to deities.

2) Original developer to lower the price through competition. But it doesn’t always work out that way, and the original developer still often finds ways to charge significant markups for their drugs well beyond the cost of manufacturing. So I agree with you there it’s still a problem, just nuanced.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Even with academia/govt shouldering the cost of basic research, developing and testing a brand new drug can still often cost billions to the company itself. We don’t need to stretch out 30 years as patent exclusivity normally last 10, and then ideally the generics market steps in to force the 1)
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
For a new drug like this it’s unfortunately not just about the cost to the manufacturer, it’s about recouping the investments made in R&D and clinical trials. This will influence the pretty significantly for some time. Hopefully governments can strike some deals regardless.

The only people who I could say were genuine liars throughout the whole situation were Trump and his goons during the early days of the pandemic. Actual experts always remained consistent in the primary goals of vaccination being about reducing severe outcomes. You were never able to refute that.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
When I refer to who is telling me things, I am referring to experts. Not politicians. The primary goal was to always to use vaccination to reduce severe outcomes, not necessarily prevent infection. This rhetoric remained consistent *amongst experts* the entire time. Also, you speak like you’re 14.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Also didn’t say we should disregard what the president says. I rejected your claim that what he says supersedes scientific/medical expertise. You’re really getting lost in the sauce there.

Uhhh no. That’s not how any of this works lol.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Of course he had to retract, because the medical community called him out on it. How is that a bad thing? And how does any of this support your original claim?
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Lied or misspoke? Big difference. He was promptly corrected after he made his claim.

Sorry, is Biden an immunologist and/or a medical doctor? I’m confused why you’re citing him to support your argument here.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
He literally did not say anywhere in here that if you’re vaccinated you would not catch Covid at all. He said you wouldn’t be at risk, and meant that in the context of severe disease outcomes.

That’s…not how proving a fact works. Palestine was never its own sovereign territory, it was more of a colloquial descriptor of that general region. Palestinian nationalism wasn’t even a thing until the early 20th century. And none of this is evidence of my own beliefs, so stop making assumptions.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah that’s fair, I’ll concede that point.
scinet.bsky.social (@scinet.bsky.social) reply parent
There was never a “Palestine” per se, although obviously the ultimate goal is to establish it as a state, but at same time there is no denying that Israel’s establishment involved violent land displacement of the people that continues to drive the conflicts we’re seeing today.
