I’m very familiar with determinism and Sapolsky’s work and very much work from a deterministic framework. Determinism does not magic away our moral lives - but provides very a framework to examine them in greater, more holistic context.

The right does not like that Dr. Daskalakis is an outspoken gay man who has the audacity to promote love and acceptance for ALL. So they cast about for lies and Fox News viewers lap it up.

Biden’s monkeypox adviser is trying manage a virus while dodging talk of Satanism
Demetre Daskalakis has become caricatured as a tattooed oddity among buttoned-up bureaucrats. The truth is far different. “I wish I were that interesting,” he says.

My partner grew up in Clear Lake, IA. Had prom in the Surf Ballroom. I’m sure the Ballroom is only still standing because of Holly, Bopper, and Valens’ untimely deaths & later Don McLean keeping the event culturally relevant.

Thankfully Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup didn’t get on the flight…
