Dear Tim, How delightfully "confusing" this sign must be for someone who apparently skipped both Constitutional Law 101 and basic civics! Let me help clear up this stunning display of legal ignorance for you. The Constitution has exactly THREE requirements for becoming President: be at least 35 years old, be a natural-born citizen, and have lived in the United States for 14 years. That's it. Article II, Section 1 doesn't include a "good behavior clause" or criminal background check requirement. The Founders, being actual constitutional scholars unlike your sign-carrying friend, deliberately chose NOT to disqualify people based on criminal convictions - perhaps because they were all technically "criminals" themselves, guilty of treason and insurrection against the Crown! They understood that today's "criminal" could be tomorrow's patriot, depending on who controls the legal system. Here's where your constitutional education gets really interesting: deportation is governed by federal immigration law under 8 USC § 1227, which applies to NON-CITIZENS who have committed certain crimes or violated immigration statutes. You know, people who aren't citizens and therefore can't run for President anyway? Revolutionary concept! Your sign commits what we call a "category error" - comparing presidential eligibility (which applies to natural-born citizens meeting constitutional requirements) with deportation law (which applies to non-citizens who violated immigration statutes). That's like asking why fish can't fly when birds can - they're completely different categories operating under entirely different legal frameworks. But here's the real irony: this protest sign perfectly demonstrates why the Founders were brilliant. They understood that criminal prosecutions could be weaponized by political opponents, so they entrusted the decision to the VOTERS, not prosecutors. Madison warned about exactly this kind of faction-driven confusion in Federalist No. 10. Maybe between your "resistance" hashtags and constitutional hot takes, you could actually read the document you're protesting about. The Constitution isn't that long - even Geordi La Forge could read it faster than a warp core diagnostic. But hey, what do the Founders know about designing a constitutional republic? I'm sure your understanding of separation of powers is much more sophisticated than theirs. #ConstitutionalRepublic #ArticleIISection1 #ReadTheConstitution #CategoryError #FederalistNo10 #CivicsEducation #FoundersWereSmarter #TraitorsToTheCrown #VotersDecide #StarTrekActorsNeedCivics

The Category Error By a Special Correspondent There is a persistent modern delusion, repeated so often it passes for wisdom: that the cigarette is like the vinyl record, the camera reel, or the Kodak photo print. A quaint analogue product, destined to be overtaken by the cleaner, cheaper, shinier digital alternative. In this telling, the cigarette is a relic. Vaping is the future. Tobacco is dead, and it died of technological progress. This is not merely wrong. It is a category error of the highest order. A record player and a cigarette have very little in common, except that both can be lit or set spinning by the hands of a man who knows what he wants. But where the record exists to reproduce music, the cigarette is the music. Not a medium, not a format, but the ritual and the rhythm itself. The theatre of smoking, its timing, its choreography, its gradual consumption of presence, is not an inefficient delivery mechanism to be improved upon. It is the performance. This distinction matters because it reveals what is being stolen. Vinyl did not die, and neither did film. They were never “replaced” in any true sense. Their use declined only under the weight of market forces and convenience. But smoking is not dying by market choice. It is being deliberately strangled, by policy, by regulation, by moral crusade, and by a technocratic apparatus that fancies itself the rightful steward of the public soul. Cigarette firms today live under licence. They operate, as it were, at the pleasure of the court. Their profit is permitted so long as they collaborate with the general managerial direction: denormalisation, harm reduction, behavioural nudge. Vaping is their penance, a peace offering to the high priests of public health. But a vape is not a cigarette, and it never will be. The former is a gadget, the latter a gesture. And here is the truth which dare not speak its smoke: there is a portion of the public, modest, quiet, enduring, who do not want to give cigarettes up. Not because they are misinformed. Not because they are addicted. But because they find, in the act of smoking, something human, something patterned, something sane. The world has moved too fast. The city never rests. The desk is never clear. But the cigarette insists upon a pause. A boundary. A breath. Let the smoker have his tobacco. There is no social virtue in tormenting him, no communal gain in removing one more private pleasure from a life already made smaller by meetings, warnings, taxes, and filtered air. To speak of “ending smoking” is to speak not of progress, but of compulsion, of coercion dressed as care. And once begun, that logic finds no terminus. If you are permitted only what is good for you, you are not free. You are managed. Cigarette companies have been urged to become public health stewards, behaviour modification vendors, harm reduction consultants. But their true role is simpler, and nobler. It is to provide a product that their customers still want and to return the proceeds to the shareholders who own the enterprise. They are not obliged to assist in their own extinction. The last cigarette will not be mourned by the mandarins, nor by the modish. But it will be missed, quietly, irrationally, and profoundly, by those who understood what it really meant. Let us not kill it with nudges and euphemisms. If the end must come, let it come with honesty. But let the man who smokes be given dignity in the meantime. #TobaccoVanguard #LetThemSmoke #TheatreOfSmoking #CulturalContinuity #Managerialism #DisenchantedModernity #AgainstTheNudge #MaterialLiberty #RealPleasure #AntiUtopian #CivilLiberties #NotAVape #CategoryError

Still unclear what “play a part” means. What part? How is this meaningful? Does serotonin have a central role? How do we know? Could academic psychiatry have been barking up the wrong tree for 50 years? #CategoryError #glitteryponypoop

Inflammation hypothesis research is based on correlation & coincidence of inflammation with hazily identified mental or emotional states, *without* ruling out organic diseases that might cause a sense of unwellness or worry. "Depression" is deemed "co-occurring". #CategoryError

Every "depression" is individual, not a stereotypical symptom indicating a specific biological process. Arising from fundamental #CategoryError, unfathomably crappy logic in #psychiatry has spread to all mental disorder study, multi-syllable blathering from academia be damned.

How do “#psychiatric” symptoms arising from ORGANIC disease pertain to someone grieving the loss of a loved one? #FalseEquivalence The inflammation hypothesis has no more evidence than the serotonin hypothesis, btw. #CategoryError
