the funniest thing about these weird dudes that think COVID is mass hysteria is that they always have a quarter of their assets in bitcoin yeah so you spent two months salary on an NFT of a monkey cartoon and you're telling me that people have psychologically primed by mass media to believe stupid things?

tell me more

Republican conspiracy theories get dumber every day Image i think Republicans are excited about Omicron being weaker because they want to defeat the virus in the 'natural' extremely heterosexual way but a part of them also does not want to get sick or die

i haven't talked about this much because i know there is going to be a handful of people that are extremely upset but i think NFTs are a fucking scam and the majority of crypto in general is a scam NFTs and bitcoin are valuable just because there's such a huge fandom that believes they are valuable.

they are basically furry cosplay. you can't say the costumes aren't valuable as long as there exists 1 horny person that is ready to buy them

what is disappointing about Peter Thiel is that he has these Mark Zuckerberg aspie mannerisms and pedantic points to make but they are extremely derivative and he doesn't bother to follow up with the specificity I expect from a guy that literally owns companies like Palantir after watching that clip I understand how Eric Weinstein is able to blow so much smoke up Peter Thiel's dumb ass

i often get replies from people that think i'm undeniably on the left and it makes me die a little inside which is good because it reminds me that i have some more alive left i was shitposting while you were just a match based on a bottle of wine and a bunch of lies

while this is true, it's also true there are a lot of people that don't give a fuck about college sports generally. so why waste political capital on inclusion in an activity that doesn't matter in the first place? the argument seems circular it seems to me that aspects of transgender people in sports is a zero sum political game - people join competitive sports to win. Trans ppl want to win, and cis ppl want to win, and making the field of opponents smaller always makes winning more likely

it's important to remember just how immensely stupid the conservative mindset is Image fyi if you could go back in time centuries at a time and ask your ancestors for their wisdom, the wisest of them would be telling you how fucking stupid all the conservatives of their time are

Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray and Eric Weinstein are more mad about Rachel Maddow overselling the vaccines last March than they are about their buddy Bret Weinstein overselling ivermectin and Vitamin D every day since then Image Rachel Maddow, March 29 2021: (paraphrased) "Vaccines are a near-perfect COVID prophylactic."

Bret Weinstein, June 11 2021: "Ivermectin is a near-perfect COVID prophylactic."

All of Bret's pals now: "I can't believe how wrong & evil Rachel is"

is Lindsay Ellis the next Bari Weiss?

no disrespect but it feels like we go down this road frequently is it just me or is every Contrapoints and Lindsay Ellis video is just another revelation about just how much the theater kids bully each other?

has Conor Friedersdorf ever tweeted anything that wasn't some exhausting 'both sides are bad' dogshit nonsense? possibly the most draining goddamn political pundit of all time "if we had more extremely long YouTube videos, David Fuller articles, Quillette and Medium pieces about why people shouldn't shit their pants, then I wouldn't think shitting my pants might be a good idea!"

Painter paints so much that his brow is white.

Takes off his mask, wipes stache, finds tiny streak of white paint (that likely came off his fingers or ran down his face) and presents this as evidence that masks cannot protect you from snot for a few minutes at a grocery store 🙄 Image Dr Scott McLachlan (who is a "doctor" of statistical programming, he's useless) is a man that happens to believe this mask argument, and he's the guy that Bret Weinstein relies on for VAERS analysis

Eric Weinstein denounces Bret Weinstein's ivermectin bullshit Eric Weinstein is some version of neuroatypical so he needs to explain what should have been a basic point about masks (Masks aren't necessary = "Don't buy N95s right now please") or vaccines (Vaccines are safe = "Vaccines are statistically safer than covid") into a million words

Heather Heying fails at reading again. People are increasingly worried about the unvaccinated plague rats
& unmasked Delta transmission breeding more variants, and Heather Heying somehow interprets this as a victory for her being unvaccinated in Portland Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are perversely insisting that unnamed scientists advertised the vax as future proof (this never happened), while they keep refusing to elaborate on their prophylaxis protocol & their absurd interpretation of vaccine safety

it's funny how a lot of 'intellectual dark web' adjacent dingdongs keep telling us how to convince Trump supporters to switch & how to convince antivaxxers to not be antivaxxers and how to convince QAnon people to not be QAnon people.

it's all bullshit. i'll tell you why i used to be 1 of those people that often said "I'd be more woke if *this specific person* wasn't such a crazy idiot"

as long as I'd already made this bogeyman to oppose & put them on a fake pedestal (such as 'emperor of all public schools'), my mind was never going to change.

remember: on Monday, response from Bret Weinstein will be 3 weeks late.

We still don't know if he believes ivm is also a treatment, minimum prophylaxis dose he thinks effective, why he dismisses all the negative ivm meta-analyses & which interpretation of VAERS data he's using Bret Weinstein, please:

Is ivm a treatment? Phil Valentine is dying
Which ivm schedule is effective? we're still waiting
Which ivm studies are legit? Cochrane review is out & you said nothing
What VAERS signal are you talking about? hopefully not McLachlan & Seneff's rants

this tweet is so fucking funny, it is the ultimate "You don't need to buy me dinner but I do need to eat tonight" tweet You don’t need to persuade me that the earth isn't flat. I just need 3 things:

1. first class ticket to Australia
2. Postcards from every country
3. A flight on Jeff Bezos' rocketship

"Make sure you have your vitamin D3 level checked. [...] And then have a doctor on speed dial that will write you a prescription for ivermectin"

Phil Valentine is now on a ventilator, and has been in the hospital since July 16th. Phil Valentine's bro Mark: "97% of the people in hospital have not been vaccinated. That ends the discussion for me." & says Phil is most pro-vax person now.

Phil chose to take ivermectin instead, a snake-oil pushed by Bret Weinstein, Pierre Kory, Robert Malone & Tess Lawrie

recall after Elgazzar was retreated, Tess Lawrie's analysis of prophylaxis ivermectin used by Bret Weinstein relied on Chahla 2021 & Shoumann 2020

Cochrane Review included a Shoumann paper, but dumped Chahla as it was not RCT & used cocktail treatment

cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.10… Image for the hundredth time, it would be easier to evaluate @BretWeinstein's claims if he just bothered to write the article he promised to publish on July 12th.

to fans of 'intellectual dark web', this is Sam Harris asking challenging questions and demanding evidence.

to me, it's Sam showing that he's a dumb trust fund kid that clearly never learned how to look shit up. it now makes sense why he's constantly kissing Charles Murray's ass in the replies Sam Harris' fans are furiously linking to NPR, WaPo, BBC and NYT.

maybe Sam Harris just can't afford a WaPo subscription?

theory: @BretWeinstein & @HeatherEHeying have refused to complete the written response to @Quillette that they promised to produce in this episode because they are embarrassed to admit in writing that their rebuttal episode relied entirely on @Dr_ScottMc

Dr Scott McLachlan is a bad computer scientist and an all-round failure. And also a compulsive liar @Dr_ScottMc

never forget that Heather Heying sunk so low as to say that Scott McLachlan did an 'extraordinary job' on this preprint only because she very quickly wanted to make @ClaireBerlinski and @ydeigin look foolish. That was the only reason she opened the PDF

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying are failed biologists that are relying on the work of failed computer scientists to save their reputations. this has nothing to do with the pandemic anymore
