Like I get there's other models of causality but that's the normal one that most people mean

Ok yes even as a non philosopher this always bothers me lol

Seems like he does still do it, though the above photos do suggest it's way more inconsistent now bsky.app/profile/alex...

Hmm so he's lightened it and moved it back a bit? I guess that's plausible but it really doesn't show up as much in any of these as it does in every image about this from 2020

What?

Like look at the image in the thumbnail vs any of these. Idk it's weird to me that every article about this is from 2020 and nobody noticed this until now in the gubernatorial race, unless he's stopped doing it (and maybe swapped it out with something way more subtle)

Doesn't look like the weird nested cross, I just see a single + sign. Probably a normal cross?

Hmm maybe? It's not the very dark sudoku pattern you see in the older images

I see no evidence bsky.app/profile/kavi...

This somewhat implies that he's still wearing it, which I don't really see any evidence of? The article is from 2020 and here are some recent images including his left hand, none of which have a huge marking visible on them

And removing death of the author, chrichton was a prominent climate denier in the aughts

The thesis is that scientists were preoccupied with what they could do that they didn't stop to consider what they should. Obviously within the narrative this is reasonable but the real world analogies to this kind of research are like, mrna vaccines or the green revolution

I wonder if this is just to avoid getting into fights with porter supporters

It's interesting that they're framing this in terms of pragmatism given that Steyer is the leftmost candidate in the race of the top 5, by a fair shot, so it makes sense that they're supporting him over Porter (tax cuts orange county slopulist) or Becerra (establishment)

I'm pretty sure the latter is because they're big fans of oceangate 🌊

It's kinda interesting that white subcultures in the US used to have shared first names but subculture specific last names and now that it's reorganizing based on region rather than ethnic origin it's reversed

Carney (yeah not euro but close) and Starmer both had positions early in the war that were to the right *of the average American*. Truly just insane people

Yeah like the issue is it has to compete with "Fusion power but someone else made the reactor"

Genuinely why is Europe seemingly like 80% led by the leaders more useless than the most useless democrats? Consider: if the US is about to start the most obviously stupid war in recent history, start out with vocal opposition rather than tepid support?

I do not think that socialist and communist really have that much semantic distance between them except like, whether the person speaking is being somewhat provocative

Yeah, like the thing is that both of these are just things that aren't really unique to them within the lib/left coalition now. Like basically every faction is pro trade now, and basically every faction is divided on taxes (there's also a lot of neolibs for higher middle class taxes)

Like the average self-id communist is a liberal or socdem, maybe more libertarian than the average communist government, but the average self id neoliberal is someone who believes in the exact opposite directional policy wrt the relationship between the state and private sector as the 20thC neolibs

This phenomenon exists to some degree, but the average self-identified communist at least like, is broadly on the left, supports a larger welfare state and proletarian control over the commanding heights lol. bsky.app/profile/daph...

Nuclear power is so washed at this point lol. It's only marginal if you could turn new reactors on tomorrow, but absolutely washed when considering realistic timelines. Solar and storage has totally undermined its niche

"self-id neoliberal whose whole big thing is expanding state capacity" should not be a real thing

It's insane how every self identified neoliberal under 40 hates neoliberalism with a burning passion but doesn't realize it
