It's so impressive how this man has monetised whining about not being able to speak freely for more than ten years without ever actually saying anything of substance.

Oh cool, I see we casually have an "enemies of the administration" list for people in the media now, hosted using my taxpayer money on the White House website.
Looking forward to all of the libertarian and "free speech" types to take a strong position on this!
@dpakman, @EdKrassen and @briantylercohen are the first three listed.

I don’t think Cenk & Hasan should have had their ETA cancelled but the UK has a consistent habit of preventing entry/banning people under Tory and Labour administrations. Ben Gvir & Smotrich, for example, have an actual travel ban from Labour. There is rarely any transparency.

i’ve been fighting the far right for a decade plus. i never would’ve imagined a labor govt would ban me from entering the uk. dark times ahead for the west. liberalism is dead, maga fascism and it’s corrosive influence is felt everywhere.

The US far left has spent the last 2 months arguing that this Putin worshipping fascist has a more progressive foreign policy than AOC and Bernie Sanders.
Wonderful to see!
Thank you for sharing the truth for all to see.
We should be friends, allies, and trading partners with Russia and much friendlier to the rest of the world.
And keep our tax dollars at home to be spent for Americans and stay out of foreign wars.

Jordan Peterson and Konstantin Kisin both constantly sell victimhood to their audiences. They and their audience wallow in persecution narratives. Konstantin also became a culture war figure on the back of an invented controversy over a comedy contract made by a random student.

There is something darkly amusing about the fact that selling victimhood to the most privileged people in history has become such a lucrative and big business.
When I was on tour with @jordanbpeterson he talked about many things, but probably the most common recurring theme was the "Spirit of Cain". It seems our ancient and sacred texts tell these stories for a reason: victimhood is easy, seductive and addictive. And now profitable too.
We are living through a perpetual victimhood escalation battle where people (and groups) now compete not on merit, but on the supposed disadvantages they face. Which makes perfect sense since this is the incentive structure our societies have been encouraged and forced to adopt.

Currently, Jordan Peterson is out of commission, which Mikhaila claimed was due to spiritual attacks from demonic sources, possibly channelling toxic mould. Or wait, maybe she switched to blaming the medical establishment for another misdiagnosis? Or was it the licensing board?

I’ve decided to leave @AnthropicAI
Never thought I’d say this so soon. The pursuit of AGI has truly been my life’s work but something more important has emerged.
In 1942, hundreds of America’s best scientists made huge sacrifices and joined the Manhattan Project to protect this nation against immense evil.
Today, America faces a similar danger. Over the last few years sparks of AGI have been felt across the world.
In order to protect this great nation against the threat of AGI ending up in the hands of evil, I have decided to join the modern day Manhattan Project.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining (and moving into the office) @UseCorgi as a sales development representative!

Reminder: Noah thinks Sabine is ‘out-debating’ the ‘smartest theoretical physicists’ over multiple years…

If intelligence is all that matters, how come one cranky German blogger lady has been able to out-debate most of the smartest theoretical physicists in the world year after year after year

An impressive level of idiocy.
Ana Kasparian says she had a spiritual awakening that helped her recognize "the existence of evil" and "humanity."
She says she doesn't talk about it because people dunked on Tucker Carlson when he said he was attacked by demons. She's "embarrassed" she made fun of Tucker.

I am optimistic that we will one day make contact to extraterrestrials because I don't think that the speed of light is a fundamental limit. Here I explain why and I have a brief summary below.

The choice is not between p-values or effect sizes. They go hand in hand. The p-value is there to keep you from seeing effects where there are none. If that bar is passed, you can treat effects as non-zero, and start to reason about what they mean in practice or for a theory.

The "leftists" she's talking about who would vote for Tucker Carlson are Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Max Blumenthal, Cenk Uygur, and Ana Kasparian.
They are not actually leftists.

Gad is not a STEM professional; he is a pop psychologist who has published a handful of low-quality, non-replicable papers and spends most of his time pontificating with credulous podcasters about his culture war takes. He is the very thing he is complaining about.
May 15
.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here 👉l.prageru.com/49RBlY7
