Drumdude, Your example of being a Harvard admissions officer (or maybe that is true?) is a fascinating area to step into when it comes to these types of discussions. My day job is dealing with large amounts of data and using it to tell stories, do deep analysis, etc. A few years ago I was supporting...

I for one hope my children learn from the past, that they understand that they do have advantages in life over others, and how they can help even the playing field. It is crazy to me for people, especially white males to get so defensive about the world that surrounds us. I can drive my car through ...

That published meta analysis, if I remember correctly, does not hold up to scrutiny due to issues with some of the data used. Here https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01535-y is a response with concerns about that study, and others. I think enough time has now passed that if ivermectin was a ...

(Note, Nelson never claimed it was a farmer's field, that was Sherri Dew) I understand what you are saying here, especially staying neutral, Dew got those details from someone, and...

this has been an interesting thread to follow over these months. A big thanks to all the research and expertise being shared. The one area that is triggering for me here and on the MDD board is due to the necessity concede soo many points to make it fit he narrative. a death spiral is more likely a ...

This has been an interesting thread and i believe exposes the value of dialogue and discussion around these topics. From my stand point, i am not a huge fan of utilizing Bayes in this way. The anachronisms, imho, cannot be ignored or reduced to a measure that only decreases the odds of authenticity....

Blue ANON, first time hearing that, thanks for the enlightenment. Are the libs saying, “no fraud, no need to investigate, clean election…”? I am of the mindset, if there is any proof of fraud, investigate. The only examples of fraud I have read about are actually votes for Trump. Because of the impr...
