Dear Mr. Ruffalo, My name is Dr. Gad Saad. I've been a professor for 25+ years, taught thousands of students offline, and millions of people online. I've published innumerable scientific papers and several books. I made less in my entire career than you do per film. Any chance
that you might share some of your "non-capitalist" wealth with this modest professor? My Patreon account is: patreon.com/GadSaad. Thank you for equalizing the playing field. Please live out your convictions by donating part of your income to me.
[I also posted this on his thread. Let's hope that he replies in the affirmative.]

Dear @SachaBaronCohen, I am a dogged defender of truth, an evolutionary behavioural scientist, and I happen to be Jewish. As such, Holocaust deniers and evolution deniers are not my favourite folks in the world. And yet, I support their right to spew their grotesque if not
imbecilic falsehoods. In a free society, we do not shut down people because they are wrong, idiotic, imbecilic, mean-spirited etc. The ONLY time that you should be condoning that social media companies intervene is for libel/defamation and a DIRECT incitement to violence.
Never should you be promoting the idea that entities should monitor the veracity of someone's speech. You defeat falsehoods with truths and not via censorship. Incidentally, for many statements, it is unclear what is true or not. Is Trump responsible for the low level of

At the risk of being repetitive, let me try to reiterate the following. I receive a bewildering number of messages from students and professors asking me how they can speak their minds and fight against the dreadful ideas without incurring ANY costs. This is like asking whether
there is a way to jump into the ocean whilst insuring that one does not get wet. Or perhaps whether it is possible to eat 30 buckets of chicken wings whilst not putting on any weight. Going against the totalitarian orthodoxy involves risks. This is a WAR of ideas. In a war,
it is impossible to fight whilst asking a guarantee that no ill consequences will befall you. Think back to the young men who stormed the beaches of Normandy. Hence, if you wish to fight against horrifying ideas, put on your big boy pants and fight. Or accept your cowardice

Do you remember the vile woman who was rejoicing about the attack on @MrAndyNgo last week and who advised me to "get f***ed" and wished a worst calamity on me (and tried to muster an e-mob against me). Well, I have contacted her university. It's in their hands. I have also
forwarded the hate email from the member of the Noble Religion to his university. I thought long and hard prior to doing so but clearly this is not akin to how SJWs try to harass you by contacting your employer (as a terror strategy). If people are going to
genuinely threaten you whilst condoning violence then it is incumbent on us to take action. If I hesitated to do so, it was my soft-hearted empathy (not wanting to get them into possible trouble).

A major mistake of the Trump era may prove to be repeatedly using political/legal processes to retroactively punish Trump for egregious/inhumane/illegal behaviors/actions, instead of using those behaviors to justify/compel mental health evaluations to pre-empt *future* harm. 1/
To be clear, this doesn’t necessary mean involuntary commitment, because as many mental health professionals have pointed out,….: 2/
However, after listening to impeachment testimony and watching Republican congressmen engage in political theatre/fiction, it is painfully obvious that, from a process/procedural standpoint, it is a mistake continue to look at Trump’s behavior (mental health)…. 3/

“Some mass cultural phenomena are so emotionally-charged, so febrile, and in retrospect so causally incomprehensible, that we feel compelled to move on silently and feign forgetfulness.”

Thanks for the link @PetuniaCatLand xx

@PetuniaCatLand What happened last time a pyrogenic mass hysteria was created/aided by psychiatry:
1. Emergence of a new psychogenic phenomenon as a metaphor for the times we live in
2. A few maverick psychiatrists emerging as “experts”, generating bogus studies.
3. Special comittee DSM revision
@PetuniaCatLand 4. Rapid growth of the new discipline, with:
a) proliferation of clinicians & centres
b) rapid increase in number of patients
c) more funding to study epidemic they created
d) carnivals of seminars, workshops, new community of varied professionals united around the new epidemic

Thread regarding the long-form interview with Dr. #GadSaad, by #GlennBeck. (1/) soundcloud.com/glennbeck/ep-2…
There seems to be a common thread with these #IntellectualDarkWeb types, something quite insidious. I'm speaking of folks like the aforementioned Dr. Saad, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Joe Rogan, to name a few. They simply can't hide their disdain for Christianity. (2/)
This disdain stands in stark contrast to their professed "free speech absolutism," yet they are all content with this cognitive dissonance. Allow me to demonstrate with Dr. Saad. At 48:39, he offers the following "olive branch": (3/)

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of #Curitiba, southern #Brazil!
This region is famous for being cold and cloudy (yes it can be cold in Brazil!).
It is also famous for its very endemic and beautiful #Araucaria pine trees. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network @500womensci /1
#Actions speak louder than words! I am thankful for my parents for being who they are. Both always showed love for Nature, different interests and #curiosity! So no wonder by observing them I grew up to be a very curious girl who really loved Nature. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network /2
During High School I became fascinated by the #mendelian #genetics classes and the work of #gregormendel! I also loved studying animals, ecosystems and climate so the obvious choice for me in University (@PUCPR_oficial ) was BIOLOGY!! @IWS_Network #womeninscience #voicesIWS /3

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
