My friend, what from “What are you responding to here?” is me “opening the door to insults?” The way you spoke to me right out of the gate indicates you probably don’t make friends very easily. That’s an observation, not an insult.

The topic here is the negative impact the Trump Admin is having on science in the US. To say you’ve strayed from it would imply you were ever near it

If you don’t think even the best science has inherent biases, I guess I don’t know what else there is to talk about, even though this is way off track from the conversation.

Do you disagree that Hitler and the Nazi party destroyed the scientific establishment in Germany? It sounds like you think since the concept of science exists independently of nations or politics that governmental control of scientific institutions is inconsequential, which I couldn’t disagree with more.

Calling people stupid and deriding them is also really not cool, fyi

Wow…you must have no problem making friends lol

I’m just really confused by the people responding “that’s not how science works, buddy!” when that’s not at all the point of what Hitler did or the Trump Admin is doing. This entire interview is about funding cuts and political censorship, because the entire point is the Trump Admin exerting political and social control over the scientific establishment in the US. You responding to all this with “that’s not how science works, buddy!” just misses the point.

In the global long run, yes, you’re right, however the point here is comparing what happened in Nazi Germany to what’s happening now in the US. It’s not about Trump’s America trying to get “the discoveries they want,” it’s about eliminating objectivity and punishing party-line dissenters. They don’t actually care about science at all one way or the other, they care about political control

What are you responding to here?

When he says “the scientific system,” he’s talking about the institutions we have in the US that educate, employ, conduct research, and/or fund people conducting science. I guess I thought it was obvious he’s not referencing the scientific method

We still have all of July, August and September and most of October to go…

You do realize the people doing that in the US all came from Europe

(and only)

There seem to be quite a few already

It’ll work, you just have to make sure you don’t eat anything until after it rains again

If these are his bootlickers…how embarrassing. Why is that adult woman holding a little mermaid doll for the entire video

St. Louis doesn’t have anything else going for it. All their eggs are in the Cardinals basket

Totally this. No one cares. The few people who do care as adults typically have lots of interpersonal problems

Google (Waymo) already has an entire fleet of autonomous vehicles available for hire in Austin and many other cities. Amazon (Zoox) has been testing on the roads in Austin for over a year now. Both have thus far seemed to be doing really well from a safety perspective. But then again, like VW, they’re using lidar and can see through rain, fog, and night.

From a business perspective, Google and Amazon have diverse revenue streams and the deepest pockets imaginable, and will crush Tesla, whose only other sources of revenue are actively drying up.
