Fair enough. I'd venture to say that a lot of what seems obvious is often mistaken. Or no one would ever be surprised by what statistical analysis really does show. As you said, you can't expect people to believe what is provable, nevermind what isn't. I bet whatever they believe in contrast is simply obvious to them.

I think if global police corruption is true, and we have no data so we need to just rely on me assertion, then it means that all politicians and members of the media are just as bad, just as complicit, or that would have brought this to light as well, as they may be the only ones able to. Give me a few minutes, maybe we can get all mastodon admins and users lumped in as well.. (my subtle humor, not going to link you on with police corruption. Yet.)

Off to play in magical fairly land. Have a great day.

The Mitsu has fled!

@realcaseyrollins @freemo
I'm not at this point arguing that you're wrong about corruption. Just about the basis for the claim. Maybe I'm misreading. I tend to believe that my personal experience and those of others I know is a very small sample size that I interpret largely through confirmation bias and the availability heuristic, so try to not make global truth claims based on it.

@realcaseyrollins
I'm not a statistician, but the argument seems odd to me. I'm normally quite impressed by freemo's statical perspective.

I can't think there's a lot of situations where would pass as a solid truth claim: I have personal experience and I heard others who agree with me, therefore the only only way I can be wrong is if there's a magical fairy land. Disagreement with my assertion is believing in magical fairly lands. *mic drop*

@freemo

@realcaseyrollins I did not know feddit was a thing, but I'm glad to know now. Though with a name like feddit, I would have expected more fedposting.

@realcaseyrollins I have no expectation of people believing things that are provable, let alone things that are not.

Most of the time I have no expectation people will even believe the earth is round at this point. so pretty sure I can give you a pass on this one too :)

As a scientist and teacher, I will not write or peer-review for any journal from these publishers, nor will I use their books in my classroom, because their emotionally immature stunt risks the collective memory of the Internet.

Whether or not the "National Emergency Library" is ultimately a reasonable idea, there are good ways and bad ways to approach the issue, and Hachette, HarperCollins, Wiley and Penguin Random House have chosen a bad one. For two decades, scholars have been asking, "What value do publishers actually add?" Answers vary, but a bitter "not bloody much" is prominent among them. Undermining our social and technical infrastructure in a time of global crisis only gives that view more weight.

Let's all hear it for our new supporting Patreon @GivMeCoffee ❤️ Thank you so much for the support!

Babies are perhaps the most attuned to their needs, knowing when something is off... they will cry in order to communicate this to those around them as they don't have another language to communicate.

A lot of adults mentally beat this attunement from children when they are old enough to learn to put the needs of the adults before their own so that they won't be neglected.

yes tears of joy, thats what they were :)
