TBF, I am critical of Luigi and find myself having to tread on thin ice with my opinons

TBF, there is a system in the US that tends to enforce mediocrity, spends a lot of money on bloated administration, and is both fearful of competition and willing to resort to politically dirty tricks to maintain their education monopoly.

I remember a Steve Jobs interview in Wired many years ago, he said his wish was for a group of energetic people graduating college to be able to start a school, just as readily as they could start a restaurant or a landscaping business -- both of which, it should be pointed out, are regulated industries with licensing and safety standards.

merciles ridicule

... only entrenches people in their positions

Especially for religious identity and other identity politics.

The way to flip such positions is to provide role models, people who are still clearly identified in the group, but who embrace -- to the degree possible -- tolerant liberal democratic evidence-based social structures.

I think this is a really important point.

We as a society, as a civilization, have to figure out free speech/unfettered inquiry versus disinformation/objectively falsified (or even weaponized) speech

Ditto. Use libreddit instances to read, but I do not feed the beast

... and how many, like myself, were permabanned with no warnings by overzealous lemmy.ml mods?

I want her on my team because everyone's productivity will go thru the roof. She's a master craftsman of programming.

Greene has introduced a bill to outlaw “weather modification and geoengineering”

Okay, so her reasons for putting this forward are because she is a grown woman with a Sky Daddy.

But she's right, in this case, for two reasons.

1. IMO as an engineer seeing how casually and quickly we are putting increasingly capable AI shit into fucking everything ... some regulations to control things like weather modification, geoengineering, and godlike intelligence are a pretty good idea.
2. She does not seem to realize that dumping gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere very much counts as "geoengineering"
