However the policy of armed attacks against Israel polled at about 80% before Oct 7, regardless of govt. Gazans main critique of Hamas is the corruption, not the violence.
This is certainly true, but I don't think it's ever a good thing to throw a big swath of people under the bus. You could probably draw a straight line from the decline of manufacturing post NAFTA and the attempted fascist coup on Jan 6, for one small example.
The problem as I see it is you need everyone on board. Viruses can only be contained if you have a huge majority buying in. The anti-science crowd can incubate all kids of nastiness that could make a protected population vulnerable.
It would be interesting if another novel virus came along in the near distant future. How would that play out?
I think a lot of people miss how much worse covid could have been if a few things were different. For example, if a vaccine hadn't come along, or if people didn't restrict movements...
I guess I see using the best available data differently than admitting they were wrong. They also didn't expect it to mutate as fast as it did.
I agree as well that there were some pretty loose statements made by talking heads - I had my head buried in virology podcasts for most of it. They...
Some are, some are paid by universities, private industry, different govts…when the majority paint a similar picture, you can start to feel confidence in their data.
Scientists also tend to be more cooperative with their work than other institutions. The virologists I follow often talk about...
Pandemics have naturally occurred throughout history. If you are genuinely interested in this stuff, there is a lot of great information from the consensus of virologists and immunologists out there who discuss all this in great detail, with tons of scientific data to back them up.
I strongly...
I would recommend championing the cause of some super wealthy libertarian like Musk or Koch. Find out what they want deregulated so they can generate even more gobs of money. Get involved with their think tanks. You don't run on that cause however (that's your funding) - you find a cause that...
I just wanted to know what was going on there - it is probably a question of semantics. Lion IRC can chime in here....Is pood correct? Are you saying that man can only replicate God's creations? Therefore the word "create" can only apply to the original creation of everything?
Not really trying...
Ok, but also in your first post in this thread...
"Created.
Great.
Another win for Team Creationists"
it sure seems like you are implying that the word "created" indicates some sort of win for team creationists.
As a matter I don't argue with religious people these days...but this is an interesting one.
You seem hung up on the word "create" - as if that word can only mean something produced by your God.
Verb - Middle English createn, borrowed from Latin creātus, past participle of creāre "to bring...
On the wall of the holocaust museum, a quote from an imprisoned Lutheran pastor...
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came...
100% agree with the OP. If I was an interviewee and wanted to get my point across, I would most certainly want the interviewer to toss the main arguments against my position at me so I can point out their flaws.
Unless of course I was an idiot.
