Given the proven anti-liberty behaviour of the Trump administration, including the views of his Attorney General Bondi, it is very likely that TikTok will now become the most censorious social media platform in the world. It was all great for @JDVance to preach to Europe but
THIS IS PURE FASCISM. "Public interest" and "community values" my foot. That's NOT basis for breaching the US Constitution. The government CANNOT stop speech, only courts can. @AjitPai @IlyaSomin - I truly look forward to your views on this obvious interference in free speech

I want to thank Nexstar for doing the right thing. Local broadcasters have an obligation to serve the public interest. While this may be an unprecedented decision, it is important for broadcasters to push back on Disney programming that they determine falls short of community

Next, a preliminary section on why RCTs are PSUEDO-SCIENCE in public health, unless they are used to inform a CBA. Real science in PH starts with multiple regression. Better than that is a CBA. And even better is a natural experiment. I'll now outline these three scientific
I've inserted the precautionary principle section after ethics since it based on "ethics" (pure irrationality). Epidemiological models now come after that. Next, I'll build a section to show that RCTs are NOT SCIENCE as far as public health is concerned. (It is shocking how

The public policy empiricist argues by showing all details of his work and letting the data speak. The public policy moralist argues by claiming "My morals are bigger than yours". Anytime people who comment on policy for an entire society cite "ethics" as proof, DISMISS IT

The FCC's involvement in this is a sinister issue. On what ground did FCC threaten to take away Disney/ABC's license? @AjitPai - would you please make a public comment as an expert on FCC laws. I don't know what your personal circumstances or limitations are (and so whether
🚨 Jimmy Kimmel Live pulled off air. Why? He joked Kirk’s killer might’ve been pro-Trump. Within 48 hrs, Trump’s FCC threatened Disney/ABC’s license and they caved. That’s not “cancel culture.” That’s state censorship in real time.

I've sketched an outline of the section that REJECTS OUTRIGHT epidemiological models as a scientific tool. Now to the precautionary principle and why it, too, is pure scientism. IT SHOULD NOT SHOCK US WHY PUBLIC HEALTH IS SUCH A DEADLY KILLER. It has abandoned all forms of

There are many renditions of Tagore's poem on YouTube, but I've picked this from Tanya Wells who sings Indian songs. Good to know that this GREATEST POEM OF ALL TIME is being spread beyond India's borders. https://t.co/1WXJL3xJw4 Search for Ekla Chalo Re on YT - there are many
I'm skimming through Wildavsky's 1995 book for any useful quotation for the PH textbook. But his last chapter starts off by talking about GROUP THINK IN THE BUREAUCRACY. I am reminded of my career, where I became a one-man opposition both in India and Australia. In India I

Wildavsky (the founding dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy, Berkeley ) was very good. I'll add this to the PH textbook (and to book 4, where I study the precautionary principle in much more detail). https://t.co/zAfzKBUpCt === The precautionary principle is a
Aaron Wildavsky (1930-1993), a professor at Berkeley, was one of the most vigorous opponents of the precautionary principle. The conclusion of his 570 page book (published posthumously in 1995), "But is it True?", was a summary of his arguments against the precautionary

Amazing chicanery. The perils of democracy are on display in the USA, an alleged constitutional republic where power was supposed to be strongly separated into different branches. The Republican Party is dead and Trump's party is quite different to Lincoln's. Fortunately, the
The framers designed the Constitution to check ambition against ambition. Unfortunately, the legislative branch is eager to cede its authority to the executive.

Vaccine mandates are irrational, unscientific policy. Mixing up with religion - another irrational, unscientific matter - is not a good idea. Let religion not be mixed with science. ALL VACCINE MANDATES MUST BE ABOLISHED. Period. Because vaccine mandates are unscientific.
March 2025: Charlie Kirk called on @SecKennedy and President Trump to RESTORE religious exemptions to vaccine mandates for all 50 states. “Something's not right, and our kids are sicker than ever.” “I want to try to work with Bobby Kennedy and President Trump to use some sort

EXAGGERATION DOESN'T HELP! "Waymo is now handling over 250,000 trips per week across 5 major cities" ( https://t.co/XUf98EMvjY) In comparison, "25 to 30 billion car trips per week in the United States" (google AI). In other words, Waymo coverage is 0.25/25000 = 1/100,000 of car

A look at the key stats and milestones from Waymo, Google’s former self-driving project and now an autonomous vehicle subsidiary under Alphabet
Waymo is so safe that if every car was driven like a Waymo, about 9% of America's life expectancy gap would disappear. 9 percent Americans die in car accidents *that often*.

Andrew, it is hard to understand how you are able to be wrong on so many things - eg covid, climate change. Visit your nearby limestone range. https://t.co/gF1gWgLYfU

Rocks tell us a story which most climate scientists seem to have ignored in their panic about a runaway greenhouse effect from CO2. Geologists, however, have long known the impossibility of such an...

Good to know that competition has arisen to Wikipedia. No idea how this project will fare. All of them start well, then become strongholds of censorship.
@lsanger Don't waste your time reading it on Wikipedia - we've got it on Justapedia. https://t.co/lGf6eNF0kY and this one, too: https://t.co/BrRMvku7SK and some of his books that are linked in his bio.
