Dinesh is one of the worst actors in modern politics. He fans the flames of the very polarization that is tearing us apart.

I'm not a fan of cancel culture, but I can't help wondering if the world would be a better place if we were to #CancelThePolarizers
At the very least, we should stop rewarding them with our attention (which, irony of ironies, I am doing right now).
And it's not just the polarizers on the Right. The polarizers on the Left are tearing us apart, too.

(THREAD) Three stages of ideological growth. The last stage can be fatal.

/1
The journey starts when you find an ideology that helps you interpret your experience and give meaning to your life. Often this is provided for you by parents and the communities of which they are a part. Sometimes you discover a compelling ideology later in life.

/2
You will spend a honeymoon period learning the language, mental models, and narratives of the ideology, marveling at how the ideology has an answer for everything.

1/ There are two main archetypes for reasoning in popular awareness. I wan't to make a case for a third.
2/ The first archetype is the Scientist. The archetypal scientist engages in argumentation in order to find more accurate models of the world.
3/ The second archetype is the Lawyer. And the archetypal lawyer engages in argumentation in order to win people over to her position.

1/ Common pattern in academic arguments:

"Your surface claim has some unsavory connotations/implications that you don't need to make. All the things you want can be had without making that claim. (unless you have some ulterior motives you haven't mentioned)."
2/ @danieldennett makes this move on the free will issue.
3/ Non-cognitivists make this move in meta-ethics.

Vedic science

Vedic mathematics were the first and foremost source of knowledge . Selflessly shared by #Hindus to all around the #world . Shame on those who later said and claimed it ax their invention. And shame on those who deny it .

@Aabhas24
Need open mind to know the reality. Even if western scientist's accept and applaud our Ancient Indian Science so called #Seculars will try to destroy it . We posted many articles on this very issue but now we can see many people coming out in public making these statement.
#India endorsed and will do in the future as well. As we say truth can be hidden but cannot be changed. We have decided to explain even further . Read and learn about our unbelievable history . It will blow your mind ! !

I'm not a fan of cancel culture. Of course you should follow the people you like and ignore the ones you don't. But I also believe people are redeemable, if they want to be and work for it.
During these last few months I was made to feel like I was tainted and unforgivable. That's one of the worst feelings in the world. I do not wish that on anyone, not even the people who hurt me
I know Jared has been hurting for a long time in ways I don't fully understand. I still empathize with him. He was my best friend for 7 years. I want to be the type of person who can still draw on compassion in spite of their own pain. I'm still working on that, but I want it.

In this tweet, @RSLNSW President @captainbrown & the RSL shred their little remaining integrity in relation to Australia's mefloquine & tafenoquine veterans. He has blocked most of us but you are welcome to read & RT this thread as to why & how.
#TafenoquineRC #OzVeteransVote
Mefloquine & tafenoquine have been given to around 5,000 ADF personnel, mainly during a series of unethical drug trials involving 2,850 ADF troops in Bougainville & East Timor from 1999 to 2002.
vimeo.com/239093288
Officials from @USArmy @wrair, developer of both drugs, admit 1000s of ADF troops were needed as guinea pigs for commercial purposes, i.e. to get tafenoquine registered by @US_FDA & @TGAgovau.

"We were completely naive, because we were desperate."

This thread is my Top 100 Board Games Of All Time At Least Right Now list of 2018. I'll be doing it in bursts over the next 3-4 days, should wrap up by the end of the week.
All these games are great, but if you have any questions about any one, respond to that particular tweet. I didn't do a blog article about each one this year because, well, work's been crazy, and it probably would have been stupid repetitive.
Anyway, high five to the other people doing these lists (such as @DiceTowerStaff and @BrothersMurph). Its a lot of work if you take it seriously. Let's begin.

We are hurdling towards a major crossroads in American history. It is vitally important to recognize the concept of Dual Realities and how we survive this ordeal together.

So let's sober up and take the plank out of our eye. Let's take an honest look at how bad it's gotten. 3/
