Here’s an example of a corporation demonstrating positive socio-economic change:

The Basque Country’s Mondragón Corporation is the globe’s largest industrial co-operative, with workers paying for the right to share in its profits – and its losses.

I grew up in Silicon Valley and I can testify what you already know: venture capitalists and tech CEOs are just dumb kids with a lot of money. Many of them landed in their positions by chance alone. We are not obliged to give them more credence than anybody else.

Probably stepping down to sit on the board instead.

Isn’t past perfect “it had been a tense gathering”?

When we realize that part of the solution is to kill the culprits.

There is plenty of historical precedent…

Lol. Religious adherents make up about 76% of the population of Florida. Unfortunately I can’t find exact statistics for Broward County.

Meanwhile, the school in question reports that 89.3% of their students are fully vaccinated. It is therefore highly probable that the majority of those fully vaccinated children have parents who are religious adherents.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization reports that Measles cases have been increasing across most regions mainly due to missed vaccinations during the COVID-19 years when health systems were overwhelmed and fell behind on routine vaccinations for preventable diseases.

The “anti-religion, pro-science” gang is surprisingly scared of statistical science…

With all due respect, my friend, you’ve given an unintentional answer to OP’s question. Americans have become so convinced that there are only two sides of every issue and all of life’s problems are caused by the people on the side opposite me. This is a false dillema and plays directly into the hands of people who are most powerful. “United we stand, divided we fall”, indeed…

In truth, there are many reasons why people don’t vaccinate their kids and I’d be willing to bet that religion isn’t at the top of the list. Many parents are simply negligent. Either they’re too busy or stressed or incompetent or so unaffected by the issue that they simply can’t make it a priority to commit to the regular procedure of vaccination. Or they simply don’t trust the government or institutional authorities who promote vaccination. I imagine a lot of people are simply “natural health” fanatics. At least that’s what I’ve seen in California.

Anyway, I think it’s not very helpful to reduce complex issues affecting the world’s largest diverse population to mere frustrated axiom.

Yeah, I figured as much. At least they can’t count me as a user when they go public.

I’ve just deleted my Reddit account. That’s the last straw for me.

I think they mean existential problems, like our belligerent lumbering towards the violent self-destruction of humanity.

This is why we need to keep science out of the classroom

So it’s OK to publish “research” that’s been generated by AI so long as there are no experiments involved? I’m sorry. I don’t understand what you’re getting at.

There has clearly been a massive decline in academic integrity lately, as evidenced by this ridiculous paper and so many others. Why should any of it be excusable?

Please read the Wikipedia article about the replication crisis that I’ve linked. This is a widespread problem. Even the most prestigious cancer research institute in the world, Dana-Farber, has admitted to egregious forgery and plagiarism of their formerly published research.

“Publish or perish” indeed…

“It’s unclear how such egregiously bad images made it through peer-review.”

That’s because the paper wasn’t peer-reviewed at all. In fact, the majority of published medical and psychological papers are never reviewed or replicated.

The scientific method has sold out to the profit incentive, at least in academia.

Path of Exile is like Diablo for adults. It’s much more dark and intense in my opinion. It’s worth checking out because the New Zealanders who make it are genuinely good guys.

I bought a Tesla in early 2020 and after four years I can say confidently that autonomous driving seems unlikely. The self driving feature feels like I’m in the car with my geriatric grandpa. It drives like a stoned teenager trying to protect the liability of his rich daddy.

The reason that humans are able to drive swiftly and efficiently is because we’re not thinking about every single thing that could go wrong at every single moment. The car is incapable of such blissful ignorance and therefore the autonomous driving experience is uncomfortable, to say the least.

Thank you for citing references.

Do you have any evidence of this, or is it anecdotal?

I don’t know why people are down voting you. This is exactly what Pew Research has said about religious “nones” in America. The number of dyed-in-the-wool atheists is still quite low and projected to decrease because birth rates.

That’s wild to me. I’d rather eat my own flesh than be subjected to forced ad viewing.

TVs are historically cheap. I’m not trying to dunk on the poor but I just can’t see how that invasion of privacy is worth $300.
