Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
The conspiracy theorists got more things right than the experts.
They literally told people not to mask at the beginning
can you define experts, so we can go and check what they said?
because there was basically no consensus about anything related to COVID among experts defined as "people with a career in public health worldwide", except about the efficacy of the vaccine and the fact that COVID was more dangerous for elder people.
everything else you find very extreme disagreement among people who spent their entire life dedicated to public health, so how exactly are you personally using the label? experts in Japan gave very different advice than experts in some western countries for example (they didn't even advised in favor of closing down brothels, which were never locked down in Japan).
can we at least agree that if experts in different first world countries suggested different things then we are absolutely sure there was no consensus and anyone claiming otherwise has always been in complete bad faith?

They were wrong about the vaccine too Luciom. Sooner or later you are going to have to concede that.
The evidence is mounting by the day.

there was (and is) a consensus though, across countries.
which didn't exist for a lot of the rest.
some countries literally went with "masking toddlers would be criminal, we will never mandate that", including otherwise very strict ones (Spain and Italy).
the inhuman monsters on the left in anglo countries claimed there was a consensus favouring mandating masking toddlers, and I will never forgive that horrendous and devastating lie, among others.
UP brigade been going strong lately
Is your point that you shouldn't care about the spread of disease if you believe in evolution? That isn't exactly intuitive.
The point is that if Evolutionism is true, then it is utterly irrelevant what you care about since Evolution is gonna do it's thing either way.
The death of the old and the infirm is just part of the process.
One of Nietsche's critiques of Christianity was that it severly slowed man's evolution toward the Uberman. He thought that time, talent, treasure and resources on the old and infirm was crippling human progress.

Sounds like the entire field of medicine is oboslete then, might as well close all the clinics and hospitals, and tell all the doctors and nurses to start learning to code.
principles matter to me. thats why I am no longer a liberal nor do I invest in liberal projects.
objectively, they tried to take my money under false pretenses (bc liberals entire existence is an exercise in bad faith thievery with no principles) and I was able to fight them and win.
It's frustrating to watch people justify ignoring expert guidance by applying their own misguided idea of how the medical science works.
There's a reason you should listen to the experts.
I agree with the bolded. However, the pertinent question is who exactly are the experts?
I personally believe that the American Medical Association is the single most evil organization in the USA.
I made the terrible mistake of trusting "Health Care Professionals" who put me on psychotropics for 25+ years. Pretty much lost about 20 years of productive life thanks to my naive belief that they were helping me.

Come on. As you well know, Nietzche wasn't talking about Darwinian evolution.
And believing in evolution doesn't imply as a matter of logic that I should be indifferent to suffering in the here and now. That's just something you made up out of whole cloth.

I believe that some medications are helpful and in some cases even life-saving. Medical folks are really good at trauma care.
However, many of their practices and prescriptions are harmful, especially long-term use of psychotropics.

That wasn't what you said though. What you said is that if evolution is true then it renders medicine obsolete, as those who are not "fit enough" to survive should just die anyway.
Yes, I am aware this makes little sense. I didn't say it, you did.
