Once, eccentric patrons funded wild dreams — radar in a mansion, secret codes in Shakespeare, scrolls from Vesuvius. Today, philanthropy feels safe and bureaucratic. What if wild giving could revive science, health and imagination?

I would never block you or Joe Bak-Coleman, because I am fine with (and even appreciate) being challenged. For me, blocking is only for people who are very disruptive or insulting. Not just because someone politely disagreed.

I basically agree, I guess, but I also think it's poor epistemics to block someone when the apparent reason is "they made an argument that I find inconvenient to answer." I hadn't said anything remotely disrespectful to him at that point.
PS: you're definitely debating (disagreeing) with me! :)

anyway, the only bad faith I see is the refusal to address an obvious counterpoint: are all people who work on a problem (reproducibility, anti-Semitism) to blame when a malignant politician weaponizes that issue? if not, why not?

When we funded Prasad, he was working on medical reversals and was writing stuff like this: www.statnews.com/2016/05/09/m...
I can't control what someone does 8-10 years in the future.

Don’t believe what you read on new report of medical error deaths
Take the "news" that medical errors are the third leading cause of death with a grain of salt. Medical errors are poorly defined, and that estimate has been around for awhile.

There ought to be a federal department exclusively focused on making government work better, that is, government efficiency.

Carl Bergstrom blocked me for this post! Didn't know he was like that.
Good point. In fact, one might as well denounce anyone who has ever criticized anti-Semitism because they are somehow responsible for Trump weaponizing that idea against Columbia and Harvard.

And how does each red light have a different area in which other lights could occur? The size of stoplights isn't standard any more?

How do these red lights make any sense? No source of support, no reason to exist in the first place, no reason to have multiple red lights.

Nothing about that makes sense.

But why are workers staying motionless the while time, and why are there red lights hanging in mid-air with no apparent support or reason for being there?
