This is a good example of incompetent nonsense we have to fight against.

This is all ignorant nonsense. No, science isn’t a democracy. Your uniformed opinion doesn’t have equal weight to a scientist who has spent their lifetime going to school, studying something, doing experiments, analyzing data, writing peer-reviewed papers. An anti-vax mom’s opinion doesn’t have the same weight as a…

Don’t have your kids watch this, which presents demonstrably false skeptical views as co-equal with the actual science. Journalism 101: if one person says it’s raining and the other says it’s dry, you don’t present both sides and throw up your hands, you open the window and see which is true.

Weird how you created your account just to comment on this topic. 🤔

It’s really weird how this HumanityHorror dude is always “worried” about “regressive leftists” ruining the left when all times he expresses opinions they’re the same right wing bullshit. Stuff like “I don’t like how Charlie Kirk carries on but...”  🤔

The Left: Hey, what if we knock off the racism and treat LGBTQ people as human beings too? Also, maybe Putin shouldn’t chose our presidents?

If you were in on the joke, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, but I’m feeling increasingly bad about how I’m treating you. I don’t want to crack someone’s personality into a thousand Dunning–Kruger shards. I won’t mock you anymore.

It’s funny, just not for the reason you think it is.

Smart people don’t overwrite. 

Fascinating. Not what you wrote, which is just pedantic, overwritten drivel, just that I’m not entirely sure if you’re doing this as a troll. You’re either doing a character performance piece worthy of Andy Kaufman, or you’re doing this all because you’re incredibly desperate to come off as smart. If it’s the former: I…

Some things I think are newsworthy:

The original list is using it as a “greater than” symbol rather than as an arrow.

It fascinates me that you clearly can’t admit how silly it is to claim definitively that “Smart people are not afraid to fail.” You can say you’re basing it on your gut, or can you caveat that it’s more of productivity porn “hang in there, kiddo!” mantra to remind people to not give up when they face failure, or you…

It’s not difficult to find arguments counter to your position. For example, here is an article by the author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 and founder of TalentSmart.com:

Smart people are not afraid to fail.

Last paragraph of the article.

Things like a vaccine for typhoid or Japanese encephalitis that aren’t part of the standard vaccine regimen. If you go to the CDC traveler website and put in your destination, it will list the recommended vaccines for you:

A finance guy ignorant that his cherry picked examples of Ireland and Hong Kong have universal health care? Oof.

That’s great that you feel that way—I don’t see why you think your feelings on the matter should be universally shared or used to extract money forcibly from others.

> not like Ireland or Hong Kong or places like that with consistently high ratings of economic freedom that seem to do fine
