It would be like if there was a really cool and effective new kind of pen, and for some reason about 40% of the people involved in the pen making process went mad. 3859362

Chris @chrismumbeck.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I've believed some dumb stuff, but I didn't have the internet. And some ideas don't have much supporting evidence. But the hard part is reconciling that people who are quite smart believe really incredibly stupid things against the weight of evidence that is really quite easy to look up. 010
Chris @chrismumbeck.bsky.social · 01/10/2026We tend to be supportive of publicly harassing people we hate, and critical of it when it targets people we like. My view is that the punishment should be proportional to the crime, but I'm not sure what to think when the law fails to address the crime, so that there is no accountability. 100
