My friend, what from “What are you responding to here?” is me “opening the door to insults?” The way you spoke to me right out of the gate indicates you probably don’t make friends very easily. That’s an observation, not an insult.

The topic here is the negative impact the Trump Admin is having on science in the US. To say you’ve strayed from it would imply you were ever near it

If you don’t think even the best science has inherent biases, I guess I don’t know what else there is to talk about, even though this is way off track from the conversation.

Do you disagree that Hitler and the Nazi party destroyed the scientific establishment in Germany? It sounds like you think since the concept of science exists independently of nations or politics that governmental control of scientific institutions is inconsequential, which I couldn’t disagree with more.

Calling people stupid and deriding them is also really not cool, fyi

Wow…you must have no problem making friends lol

I’m just really confused by the people responding “that’s not how science works, buddy!” when that’s not at all the point of what Hitler did or the Trump Admin is doing. This entire interview is about funding cuts and political censorship, because the entire point is the Trump Admin exerting political and social control over the scientific establishment in the US. You responding to all this with “that’s not how science works, buddy!” just misses the point.

In the global long run, yes, you’re right, however the point here is comparing what happened in Nazi Germany to what’s happening now in the US. It’s not about Trump’s America trying to get “the discoveries they want,” it’s about eliminating objectivity and punishing party-line dissenters. They don’t actually care about science at all one way or the other, they care about political control

What are you responding to here?

When he says “the scientific system,” he’s talking about the institutions we have in the US that educate, employ, conduct research, and/or fund people conducting science. I guess I thought it was obvious he’s not referencing the scientific method

If these are his bootlickers…how embarrassing. Why is that adult woman holding a little mermaid doll for the entire video

Google (Waymo) already has an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles available for hire in Austin and many other cities. Amazon (Zoox) has been testing on the roads in Austin for over a year now. Both have thus far seemed to be doing really well from a safety perspective. But then again, like VW, they’re using lidar and can see through rain, fog, and night.

From a business perspective, Google and Amazon have diverse revenue streams and the deepest pockets imaginable, and will crush Tesla, whose only other sources of revenue are actively drying up.

I watched a minute of that YouTube video and feel so sorry for those people

I think you misunderstood that guy

Among the empires you just cited, let’s consider the wars, atrocities, assassinations, crises, and plagues they perpetuated and endured

You’re not wrong about all the things that have happened, but there are lots of countries around the world over that same timeline who have had a much worse go of things. The US has been the most powerful country in the world, so what happens here has an outsized impact, however this seems like just another facet of “American exceptionalism,” that the bad things that the US has done or had happen are somehow more special than all the bad things that have happened everywhere else.

I like that he signs is own tweet like it gives it more import or something

I like beer and would definitely prefer my beer not contain microplastics

Looking forward to all his boasting about self driving Teslas being the best profit generator in the history of mankind falling flat on its face. Seems like this isn’t far behind

I…I thought that was satire created for this article. That’s from actual court documents

Tulsi Gabbard said she was a Democrat just like a year ago, but the entire time she’s just been beholden to Chris Butler and Science of Identity Cult.

It’s not much different from these:

All are visible indicators of culture and/or status

They largely remain in AIPAC’s pocket.

What in particular is bad about this bill?
