So you're telling me this guy isn't commutative? Platonists in SHAMBLES!

Honestly I could see a possible loss for Farage here. Even if he wins, I hope to God that the standards committee investigation is just waiting ready for as soon as he is in. This, and we're going to win the world cup

No m8. We're gonna win the World Cup. National Unity. Burnham Comes In. Farage Destroyed by Count Binface in By-Election. New Golden Age. 13 Colonies re-join the commonwealth. The world is healing.

I've been a critic of Nigel Farage but he makes a good point. Listening to this 30min rant, I've now realised Nigel is literally the most persecuted guy to ever live. Such a hero putting up with everything he's put up with. #SorryNige

Woke 2.0 is caring about Affordability ( this is a direct entailment of William of Ockham's nominalism, a doctrine responsible for 75 billion deaths ) / sarcasm

My favourite saying of Jesus: ( If you needed more evidence these "Christians" are just cosplaying in Temu outfits )

Starmer hate is unjustified. He had a very difficult job, he navigated several complex issues without making things much worse - which could easily have happened - in very difficult circumstances. I hope what comes next is better. I am grateful for his service to the country.

The kind of company Robinson keeps includes another transparent religious Grifter, Ceiron Dewar who turns up at Tommy Robinson Rallies wearing a Temu Bishop costume, despite most of his life before religion involving... scamming people. web.archive.org/web/20221001...

Robinson came to see the U.S. audience as less savvy with suckers for religious nut-jobbery and a posh British accent with a dog collar so he branched out... American Media lapped it up. He eventually ended up doing a Nazi (eugenicists) Salute, ironically at a pro-life event.

He THEN started getting into grifting in the UK's conspiracy scene by LARPing as a Christian. Eventually becoming a "priest" in various heterodox sects. In the UK though, the Church is establishment, and if you're outside the CofE or Catholic Church it smells very fishy when you're wearing robes etc

Conspirituality pod mentioned the "Friar" Calvin Robinson the other day. What you missed is that these people are TRANSPARENTLY grifters. Robinson seems to have first tried a career as a substitute teacher, which he failed at. He THEN got into media by promoting Crypto Scams...

It's because they took it over in subtle ways. They've always maintained plausible deniability. There are swathes of people without a clue what's going on. But if you do know, you consistently see we have fascist street action trying to create a climate of violence to bring about a race war

And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountain green? Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light! Rule, Britannia! rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves! And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Still think it's not a problem cc @kazself.bsky.social @zackpolanski.bsky.social - this is **directly** relevant to UK politics. MP's who cannot put this together are not fit to govern in the modern world.

Mohammed Ziauddin Yusuf says that we need to "Remoralise the young not to hate our country". Jesus Christ says "if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." Maybe the young wouldn't hate our country if Reform, Farage and Aleksandr Dugin weren't constantly telling them to hate it?

bsky.app/profile/nath... Watch the video. Here is a message from my friend who lives in that neighbourhood. You only say it is not political because you are choosing artificial party division over what is right. You want Jo Cox's murderers dressed in ICE uniforms on our streets?

Part of an email from my friend in Minnesota. "Our neighbors... reported experiencing symptoms related to the tear gas... that had been used hours earlier to disperse the crowd that quickly met the...federal agents...so threatened by a single woman seeking to evade them in her mid-size SUV."

My friend [ @lanceindependent.bsky.social ] pointed this out in his PhD in moral psychology ( philarchive.org/archive/BUSMMD ). We believe the problem extends to much more of psychology than only this sub-domain.

Most provocatively, I was recently reading this book & thought the methodological issues (comparing the inference schema phrenology) is fairly on the mark. HOWEVER, I think the inferential and methodological mistakes can be put much more carefully in PhilSci/MetaSci @lakens.bsky.social

Italy, Spain. UK as an internationally collaborating moral authority on the world stage when? Imagine what it would do for our soft power and vision of British impact in the world to middle eastern and African nations to see us do what is right.

As @jdportes.bsky.social points out, Farage is using false statistics as the foundation for his single issue policy. Its a complete house of cards!

The UK economy would collapse without immigration. Universities would close, we would stop innovating, tax revenues would massively reduce and we wouldnt be able to pay for the NHS, state pension and schools. We depend on migrants and should welcome them

In particular, Ive been reflecting on metaphors like "mirror of the nation". What are these sorts of metaphors good for and why should they do so much work in an argument for a system so impactful. -- Definitely leaning towards more direct processes

IMO if we could get "post-analytic" and just do Philosophy, then there wouldn't be a need for all of this taxonomy ism-ist-ism. Many people practise Philosophy as simply a series of taxonomic allegiances! I think PMS Hacker also gets this right in Solving Resolving and Dissolving Philosophical Pr

I think both academic fields were captured by myopic, math-mongering, overly theoretical viewpoints. Economics has managed to shrug off a lot of its pseudo-scientific law-seeking math-aesthetic. I believe Philosophy is still deeply captured.

R has some cool Bayesian / Machine Learning model fitting tools. R is also THE SLOWEST language in the world. Which is also kind of crazy given it's mostly written in C/Fortran. It's also SO goddamn inefficient at memory management too. It performs like Flashplayer malware
