Hi. I study biophysics and quantum optics. My opinions are in a superposition of being both completely serious and entirely farcical.
The Jets were, unironically, the 2nd most successful AFC team *by an unimaginably enormous margin* during the Brady-Belichick tenure lol

Does this apply equally/similarly for specific market-sector indexes (eg EUAD as a EU Defense index), or are you mostly talking about extremely broad indexes?

If libs were engaging the behavior they're outlining in this video instead of mass political action, leftists would be chastising libs for engaging in conservative political cornerstones like communalism.

Their ideologies exiss to psychologically torment and demoralize liberals. No more, no less.

My PI got reprimanded in 2013 for going to a speaking engagement while representing himself as a Smithsonian employee during the shutdown.

Meanwhile, this guy is literally doing what he gets paid to do, and literally no one cares.

I think this is going to be one of the biggest challenges for waste reduction imaginable.

Having worked in academic and industrial biotech contexts, it absolutely is the case that plastic waste in biotech, while astounding, is not frivolous, as the aseptic value of nonresuable plastics is immense

I literally thought this might have been about the treatment of Korean immigrants in the 1910s, and didn't know for sure that it was about present-day events until "2025" was mentioned explicitly.

Also the very healthcare laws that Vought opposes, as the Vertex nebulizer solution used for CF has a sticker price of ~$2.1 million

Fallen reactionary sports blogger Ethan Strauss actually wrote an article about this a couple years ago. He called this phenomenon "criticism capture", and argued that its worldview-warping effects were stronger than audience capture:

Criticism Capture is More Dangerous Than Audience Capture
Nowadays, it's the unforced errors in response to criticism that kill you

Eh, they didn't give a shit about the Congressional Baseball Game shooting, either. Firearms Right Maximalism is basically a core tenet of the American Rightist Cult at this point.

There's also the fact that, by doing things so on-the-nose that it looks exactly like something out of Fascist Italy or Nazi Germany, ordinary people will reject straightforward news reports as fantastical.

When you say "Many of us even think that 'correlation is not causation' is still a thing", are you referring to the development of sats/ML methods to tease out causality, or to the development of methodologies like nat experiments, IVs, DiDs, etc?

The more severe issue is that voters hate all viable implementations of policy more than they like the theoretical outcome of said policy

Voting isn't protected under the first amendment. These aren't related.

Even if this was the case: if money is speech, why can't protestors be paid?

Aren't political TV ads a form of paid protest?
