How does the World view America these days?
EdamAnchorman replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter

These vaccines will likely be a stopgap so that we can avoid overloading healthcare systems and minimize variants until we can get to a point where we can have highly effective vaccines that may last years or more. But if we do nothing, it's almost guaranteed that variants will continue to emerge and we'll need to make more "quick" vaccines and boosters to deal with each one. So if you're concerned about having to take a booster every six months, do your part to help get this thing under control and get vaccinated so that the scientists can have less of a moving target to shoot at.

I feel like DeSantis is just trying his damnedest to appeal to the Trump base across the country so that he can make a run for the R pres. nomination. It's sickening that the way he is choosing to get attention for this, by so publicly defying reasonable COVID mitigation measures, is going to flat out kill people.

Oh you're probably right, but since they have no sense of history they're gonna get behind it being un-American like they invented it. -

Just heard about this study today. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2018/dec/radicals-arent-good-knowing-when-theyre-wrong It seems these people who hold these radical beliefs are "metacognitively impaired" (my made-up description), which means it's innate and very difficult for them to realize and admit when they're wrong about anything. Basically, they'll always be fucking it up for the rest of us with COVID and there's little we can do about it outside of mandating vaccines or providing much greater invectives (my take, not the authors').

I blame the internet and social media. In the past, these yahoos were not able to organize and connect enough to cause any appreciable damage.

I have a feeling that this is a grift to keep those donations rolling in and to try and stay relevant. I'm guessing he's already strategizing on how to eventually avoid running but make it seem like he's being held out against his will.

I discovered SFA on the Rings USA tour, a friend dragged me to the show and it was one of the best shows I've been to. Show was amazing, then we hung around after the show and the band invited me and some of my friends backstage where we hung out while they smoked some weed and spun some records. Really nice dudes. Got a tour poster signed and it's one of my prized possessions. Because of this experience, this album will always have a special place in my life, not to mention it's also awesome.

I do it for the rush, the adaptation, and the general backwardness of the act.

I work in a relatively narrow field of research that almost nobody has heard of (rheology). Been studying and working in that field for 16 years. I go to the annual conference every year and there's still tons of shit that I don't understand. My colleagues at work call me the rheology "expert". Sure, to them I am an expert but even in this narrow field, it takes a lifetime to become a true expert, and even then the expertise may only be in 2 - 3 subsections of the field. This is precisely why we can't just listen to one or two sources of information and form a rigid opinion, especially about something as serious as covid. You will have to trust the network of scientists and peer reviewers who have put huge amounts of human-hours into this problem.

IMO the most important thing that is learned from a post-secondary education (primarily Ph.D.) is that you learn very quickly that you're absolutely clueless. You're forced to read mountains and mountains of publications from researchers who have made both large and incremental steps before you; and this mountain of papers is just in your own narrow area of research! You know when a Ph.D. student is ready to defend their dissertation when you ask them a tough question about their own area of research, and their response is that they don't know (and that it's OK to not know), but they do know where to go look for it and how to piece together different pieces of research to get the answer. It really causes you to think differently and more critically about things, and to have a more well-adjusted perspective on things like COVID research, even if it's far from your area of research.
