I have family there. Yes they are Republicans, but not the anti-America, insurrectionist type, they can’t stand these fools . . . but then again we have some long time friends from further south that might be camping out. They do claim to do things together, lol!
As far as the media goes they gotta keep track of the insurrectionist wherever all ya all go!
I suppose someone has to keep tabs of those sneaky, intelligent, and resourceful "insurrectionist". Keeping everyone on their toes.
 
Your people are still waiting!

It seems like things are getting a bit more extreme on both sides… seriously, can neither side primary a reasonable candidate?

 
Some of that meritocratic resentment shining through I see

twitters just a tool. The internet is the great leveler of information. It’s why the meritocrats hate it— legal zoom, webmd and khan academy cutting into their business. That’s why the internet cos are trying to restrict the flow of info— so they can tame the tiger again. The ones that resent it the most are the legacy media: it’s cut into both their $ and influence.

Meritocratic resentment?
 
More prog rock. No thanks. Maybe a technically better drummer, too clinical whereas Moon had way more rock n roll soul, energy and charisma. (which unfortunately contributed to his demise).

Now that might make a fun off-topic (hopefully non-politics) discussion… music style/genre preferences compared to soccer style of play.

Not sure there’s a smooth transition to soccer for the *it’s to technical to be authentic* crowd.
 
Was thinking more of the do it yourself homeschoolers but fair point

There is an old PBS series named The Mechanical Universe that is a better class than my first- and second-year college physics classes (and I was a physics major at the time). The Feynman lectures on physics covered a similarly broad scale in the '60s, but it was published in classical textbook style without the benefits of modern graphical presentation. Another classic is Linus Pauling's The Nature of the Chemical Bond. If you master all of those and the math that goes with them, you deserve a seat in the meritocracy.

Brazil/Moon vs Germany/Peart doesnt exactly fit.

The extremist use to be left on an island all on their own.

Meritocracy requires merit. Twitter has no such requirement. The competent and the presumptuous post as equals.

If all you want is to find those who already agree with you, Twitter works.

To read the article, there is nothing wrong with Davidson other than a willingness to call herself a Republican.

Not the name I choose for myself these days, but hardly disqualifying.

Wow you just really proved my point didn’t you. The snobbery and meritocratic resentment just drips from your post. You sound just like my entitled high school honors class sneering at the presumptuous slacker that dared run for class president

yeah they are all equal. That’s the point. You never know where genius can come from.

and as for my reading materials, as stated (and as I’ve posted from) before, I read a broad gamut from the nation and guardian on one end, to the American greatness and Ben Shapiro on the other. I follow Scott Gottlieb and joe Rogan.

After all the bragging about your accomplishments, why do you still have an inferiority complex?

I feel no shame in believing in merit.

Besides, within science, you do know where genius can come from. It comes from the people who took the time to learn the prerequisites.

For example, next year’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry will go to a chemist. Or maybe a biochemist. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry will probably not go to some random guy on Twitter who never took a chemistry class.

Similarly, when I take pharmaceuticals, I take the ones whose safety and efficacy was tested by biostatisticians. Perhaps you like to roll the dice a little more, and choose to ingest chemicals based on the advice of Twitter.
