@KatjaGrace @RatOrthodox In the adaptive environment, in high food abundance contexts, presumably the first group planned coordinated hunting expeditions and the second group hunted and partially domesticated the first group. https://t.co/Amdp3hLc3e Is a recent example.

No matter how many times he says it, it still isn't true. Democrats passed Obamacare with zero Republican votes. Democrats expanded it and added a sunset provision with zero GOP votes. This is an entirely Democrat created fiasco.
Let’s be clear: this health care crisis didn’t show up out of nowhere. Trump and MAGA Republicans created it. Kicking people off of health care and eliminating affordable care credits to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy was their plan all along.

Incredibly bizarre and cruel story. Tatjana Vesiolko WANTS to be deported, but ICE is holding her in detention without a valid explanation. She's been incarcerated for 11 MONTHS. She was arrested while vacationing on Valentine's Day with her American boyfriend. Tatjana is a

Notice how the whole Brown thing has gone silent, even though the official coroner's report said the patsy died on the 16th, while the sworn affidavit from the car rental place says the patsy called to rent a car on the 18th.

In hindsight, I wonder if maybe allowing people to steal whatever they wanted might have been damaging to San Francisco's downtown economy. https://t.co/NUVAsHvES8

Interesting that the @ACLU is saying that kids need “gender-affirming to care” to “survive” after ACLU litigator Chase Strangio admitted before the Supreme Court that the suicide narrative is false.

In the 1800s, new railways would be considered by a committee of just five MPs - each forbidden from representing constituencies along the route. Then the whole House would vote on their recommendation, deferring to it by convention. That's it. Parliamentary sovereignty worked.
Why does nothing seem to happen anymore? 400+ quangos. Lawfare. Judicial activism. Britain has become ungovernable. Decline is a choice. Here’s how we fix it 👇

Something for the last night of Chanukah: When George Washington learned there were Jews in America, he wrote them a letter basically saying: 'Wow, this proves America really is the most based and liberal country around. Live long and prosper.'

Also, for that matter, we have no courses taught by a member of the department on the Reformation, the English civil war of the 17th c., or the Enlightenment.

I mean, you can just look to actual climate activists, who are crystal clear and explicit that saving the environment is only acceptable if it comes with solutions to a series of social justice issues. Even they don’t prioritize climate change.
The evidence that voters don’t prioritize climate change is actually quite strong. Take young people, whom advocates would have us believe are uniquely passionate about climate change: they rank it *27th* out of 30 issues.

Academia already did what you’re proposing. Universities are now run like businesses with professional administrators, branding strategies, risk management, consultants, and KPI dashboards. The result hasn’t been better research or teaching. It’s been the transformation of
@LocasaleLab Academic life would improve if universities would dispose the 19th century decorum and be run like a business with clear roles: pure administration, pure research, pure teaching. Administration needs actual MBAs not theoretical physics PhDs

Modal deflationary theory of causation: Physical facts and laws are given by a model of a modal S5 theory. A Kripke frame gives possible-world semantics. Causal claims are deflated to modal claims: local region at time t determines a shrunken subset of the region at time t+1.

This is what political courage looks like in 2025. Going to war against the comments section of your own side. Practically all Democrats failed during wokeness and almost all Republicans are refusing to speak up now. Vivek is the exception.
Vivek Ramaswamy: "The idea of a 'Heritage American' is about as loony as anything the Woke Left has put up. There is no American who is more American than somebody else. It's crazy talk. We believe in ideals. That is who we are."
