The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

This is what all teaching is supposed to be, foundationally
Media literacy should be taught in every single American school, full stop. You don't need to tell kids *what* to think, but teaching them *how* to think is now a civic duty.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

To say people make a rational assessment of the threat environment around Covid… is just not true.
Most people refuse to talk about or read anything about Covid.
Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common childhood illness, and it’s rarely spoken of.

If we had a proper *group* response (much better air quality indoors), masking wouldn't be as necessary.
Try to apply this to water: "if I don't filter my water, sometimes I'll get cholera" -- in the short-term, personal filtering makes sense; the real long-term solution is water treatment plants.

yeah, i think a commitment to public health obligates you to get vaccinated and, when you are sick, do what you can to avoid spreading that to other people. the demand that one mask at all times in public spaces is, i think, unreasonable.
