Debating Antivaccine Cranks Debases Science and Harms the Public - Scientific American https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/debating-antivaccine-cranks-debases-science-and-harms-the-public/ “Of all the ways to discuss science, #debating debunked #antivaccine activists, historically speaking, is an awful idea. Having one moderated by a clueless contrarian, and buoyed by a loudmouthed billionaire, would be one surefire way to make it even worse.”

If you're debating something with me, do not start a comment with "maybe ..." It's pointless. I do not even listen to the rest of the sentence. My instant rebuttal is "maybe not"

"Jakie są zasady gry?
(English below)

Nasze media to nie internetowe kółko debatowe ani platforma dla wszelkiego rodzaju idiotów do głoszenia swoich poglądów.
Być może niektórzy zastanawiają się , dlaczego usuwamy niektóre komentarze i blokujemy niektóre osoby z naszych mediów. Sprawa jest prosta. Nasze profile służą do informowania o ważnych dla nas sprawach, toczących się walkach społecznych, przedstawianiu ciekawych analiz z pozycji anarchistycznych (choć nie tylko) i przypominaniu zapomnianych historii ruchu antyfaszystowskiego i antyautorytarnego.
Zdecydowanie NIE jest to miejsce dla wszelkiego rodzaju prawicowych czy skrajnie prawicowych pajaców. Macie swoje własne strony i grupy, gdzie możecie dzielić się swoimi „mądrościami” z dupy. Ani nas one nie interesują, ani nie zamierzamy dawać wam za darmo miejsca do szerzenia swoich głupot.
Zdecydowanie NIE jest to też miejsce dla różnego rodzaju idiotów z lewicy autorytarnej. Mamy dość wszelkiego rodzaju zachodnich „specjalistów” od spraw Europy Wschodniej, powielających kremlowską propagandę i operujących dwubiegunowym modelem świata (Ameryka- źle , wszystko co przeciwko Ameryce-dobrze). Nie mamy zamiaru udostępniać miejsca na wywody jakiś hiszpańskich komunistycznych kretynów czy amerykańskich dzieci z sierpami i młotami na swoich profilach. Wasze poglądy to trucizna, nie stoimy po tej samej stronie i nigdy nie będziemy stali. Nie spotka was tutaj żadne zrozumienie, nie będziemy marnować czasu na jałowe debaty z politycznymi płaskoziemcami. Nie zapraszamy do dyskusji.

Our social #media are not an #internet #debating #club, nor they are a #platform for all sorts of idiots to spread their #ideas.
Maybe some of you wondered why we delete some comments and ban some people from our media. Its very simple. Our profiles are here to inform about things important to us, about #social #struggles, to present interesting analysis from #anarchist (and not only) positions and to #remind forgotten #histories of #antifascist and #antiauthoritarian movement.
It is definitely NOT a place for all sorts of right wing and far right clowns. You have your own pages and #groups, where you can share your „wisdom” pulled out of your ass. We are neither interested, nor we are planning on giving you space to share them for free.
It is also definitely NOT a place for all sorts of authoritarian left idiots. We are fed up with all sorts of Western „specialists” of Eastern Europe, sharing Kremlin's propaganda and operating in two dimensional world (America-bad, everything against America-good). We are not planning on giving space to some Spanish communist idiots or American kids with hammers and sickles in their profiles. Your ideas are a poison, we are not on the same side and we will never be. You will not find any understanding here, we will not waste time on futile debates with political flat earthers. We do not invite you to the discussion."

Banning #TikTok
Congress is currently #debating #bills that would #ban TikTok in the United States.

We are here as technologists to tell you that this is a terrible idea and the side effects would be intolerable. Details matter.

There are several ways Congress might ban TikTok, each with different efficacies and side effects.

I've been #Debating #WhetherOrNot to #Update the #Artwork in #MyTruck...

I've been #MostlyVeryHappy with this:

#sdtps And one of the #Torah #scholars who had approached, after #listening to us #debating, recognized that the I had #answered them well.
He asked the me,
“#Teacher, out of all that is #written in the #sacred #scriptures, are there any wordings you particularly like?” #TIBTM142

#sdtps And as we were coming along, we saw a large #crowd, and some #Torah #scholars #debating with them. And all the crowd were overcome with #awe as soon as they saw the me, and they were running up to the me, #greeting the me. And the I asked them,
“What are you #debating with them?”
And one from the crowd #answered the me,
“#Teacher, I brought my son to the #Torah #scholars, for he is possessed of a #mind predator which causes him to be fanatical. #TIBTM101

#sdtps “You are freed to live the moral life in all its fullness.”
And some #Torah #scholars were sitting there, and #debating in their hearts,
“Why does this nobody talk like this? He is blaspheming! Who can #free to live a #moral life but the God?”
And the I, knowing immediately in my heart that they were debating like this inside themselves, says to them, #TIBTM18

Unity is a shackle that alienates you from your very sense of self, discourages you from discovering your own preference, and emboldens the worst forms of tyranny. -- Tobi Leung, Ateneo de Manila University Debate Team

“I am alone in the midst of these happy, reasonable voices. All these creatures spend their time explaining, realizing happily that they agree with each other. In Heaven's name, why is it so important to think the same things all together.”
