Capitalism is a death cult
He/Him
This world was full of heretics (tcg players) so the imperium of man, in a rare moment of restraint, tried to bring us back to the fold

"I've never physically hurt anyone" Meanwhile his actions during the last 3 months will result in hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths.
He is a mass murderer and a net negative to the progress of our species. End of

The meaning is obvious if subjective. One who will form the habit of reading higher literature and learn to engage critically and deeply with the texts. Contrast this with the millions that exclusively read trashy YA. How to generalise this into criteria for reproducible academic publishing is not.

No but I am also aware of a billion dollar industry producing nothing but YA trash that is dominating publishing.
Also, how does one quantify what a "good" reader is in order to do reproducible research?

Yes. And feeding children slop will not create a " reader " it will most likely create young adults with no taste who will spend their lives reading bad books

Harold Bloom criticised this exact line of thinking when talking about Harry Potter. He says that reading slop will not make you a good reader, it will just create a habit of seeking out slop and that reading extraordinarily bad books is not necessarily better than not reading at all

Aaaah yes, the historic case D.J Trump vs "the media", where a demented president sued all existing media in the universe (including those hidden ones in Atlantis) except Fox news and those owned be billionaires whose names appear on a pre-approved list for media ownership

Just a few mins ago I finished your pieces on the death drive and US public health.I am early in my psychoanalytic training journey so I'm having some trouble fitting all the pieces together and combining them with previous knowledge but both were really enlightening.Will be soon to tune in tomorrow

Even if CCS had decent chances of succeeding, chasing it would still be an extremely bad strategy. Can you imagine if decent funding ended up yielding nothing? I can already see a faux Trump GOP puppet campaigning on "the crazies who wasted your money on these climate change fads"

Manufacturers will probably just use the WHO recommendations. They will be suboptimal for usa specific use and unfortunately 2 out of 10 seats at the WHO meeting will probably be help by RFK jr lackeys. I doubt there will be no vaccines tho
