Hypotheticaly As long as nobody gets hurt, that doesn't want to be and as long as you ain't stealing or polluting Then whatever happens beyond that, and whatever they believe or whatever they think is not anybodies business but their own .. All of life is just a suicide mission so who's route do you choose??? theirs way??? or your way ?? Who's remark is easier to bare???? yours or theirs??? who will have more mercy for you.???. .. you or them??? ... that's all gotta say about that this stuff is all just political theater aka manufactured drama

@ryancooper1144 I love when people are confronted by a relatively grounded statement or argument and they flinch up and reply with a cliché usually something along the lines of "What are you on " "what did you smoke ?," Aka That doesn't not compute because it breaks the way they were lead to belive things ought to be and crushes their narrow veiw of the world That vs. whatever argument they did not have to support their hypothesis with.. You know a person has given up when they resort to trying to insult your intelligence that is petty and niche and is not discreet try not to be so morbidly obtuse...

Pointy heads high intellect low wisdom

The X makes him look like hes wearing a dracula costume in the Thumbnail 😝

I like what he has to say. It makes complete sense. He is using his academic standing for a good purpose. I don't see anything wrong with his point. But I do think that professors tend to be so intelligent that these conspiracy theories tend to make sense to some of them. I believe in a couple of so-called conspiracy theories, such as that there is life somewhere else out there in the universe. Also, I think he talks like that because he was nervous, and he likely has a certain wave at which his lectures go, which I've always found so comforting to hear different professor's lecture cadence. Thank you.

If you ever see him doing that let me know. I would definitely be interested in learning the secrets of immortality, how to get a castle, run your own kingdom, and go down in history with one of the most fearsome reputations in history.

Although I get that there should be certain limits to freedom of speech, I don’t know if I particularly agree with this concept of “competency.” Competency is such a subjective measure that really seems to be better defined (as it’s being used in this case) as the adherence to a homogenization of ideas and beliefs. If you don’t share a common prejudice, does that immediately qualify you as incompetent? Who then also gets to determine what is considered “competent” and not “conspiracy?” It may seem “obvious” to us but, relative to the cultural context, “obvious” may be more of a byproduct of a wide constellation of factors. Analogous to the genetic benefits of diversity, so too are there benefits in diverse thoughts and ideologies. Using phrenology as an example adds to my very point. This was a common prejudice believed at the time because the technology and culture naturally precipitated into that belief. It was only through challenging ideas and the advancement of technology that led us to ultimately reject that idea by large. Framing this conversation with pandering comments and gestures towards those that are considered “flat-earthers” and conspiracy theorists also seems to be antagonistic and not the best environment to facilitate further discussion and reformation of ideas. I’m sort of disappointed by this one. :P

Michael and Jennifer's book is really good. I highly recommend it.

Thank you!

He's so exasperated 😂. Blessed are the truth tellers.

I hope he explains academic freedom.

basically this guy's entire point can be boiled down to an appeal to consensus-- it's a pretty good way to mitigate the damage disastrously misguided or malicious individuals can do, but it offers no hope against a corrupt consensus (like we have had with covid, climate change etc)

This is fascinating and a really interesting perspective. I’ve been thinking about how evolution was accepted, but how even today it’s controversial? Interesting.

Good job❤❤

To be fair about covid, they did suspiciously change the definition of the word "vaccine ". That alone set off my reluctance. I grew up knowing I didn't have to worry about getting some diseases ( polio, smallpox, etc.) because I had a real vaccine, not just a shot.

You are wrong. The covid vaccine saved millions of lives. Not every vaccine is the same. Covid is changing all the time like the flu. Some years flue vaccine s are 80% effective other years maybe only 60%. It does depend on how many people get the vaccine too.

Dracula is speaking. Be quiet.

Is he nervous?

So, Mr. Berube wants to avoid arguing logically with people he disagrees with. Even worse, he does not want university students to learn to recognize how facts can be manipulated to tell stories that the student may (or may not) disagree with. Then he dares to call Mr. Stein a troll as if he were not the same.
