There's a massive category error problem where people expect the social sciences and humanities to work like the natural sciences, where being an expert means you are extremely unlikely to make terrible *practical* mistakes (unless due to carelessness).

One of the reasons I have disdain for the wrongest online leftists is they assume that it's just simple to throw a switch and make M4A happen. It is not. You don't change an $8T industry overnight. A lot of people would lose their jobs. A lot of people would be worse off. And you have to sell that.

The idea of AI curing all diseases is, IMO, silly. Biomedical research is mostly limited by data, not ideas. Imagine saying AI will build a world-champion basketball team by replacing basketball coaches with hyperintelligent AI. You see the problem. Someone still needs to dribble and make shots.

One reason you shouldn't get mad about big accounts blocking you is that the alternative is to engage with you, which then positions you for the receiving end of a dogpile. If you come into a big account's replies and act a fool, blocking is the *humane* option.

Correspondingly, the AI promoter's position should not be "use AI or get left behind," but rather "if I don't learn about other professions and how they work, I will get left behind by those promoters who do." So... that's where I am at present.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.
