Exactly this. It's almost always self-interest.

Looking at the Arsenal score, and I feel like this is karma. What a wake-up call that we need to be more serious.

My coworker was really convinced they would make top 4 this season. I told him 12th was more realistic.

Setting aside the Arsenal vs Tottenham rivalry. I really want to see Tottenham do better than this. What an absolute disgrace so far this season. #TOTAVL

That's like the FA Cup in England. Imagine being a player that's levels below, and you get to face up to legends of the game.

"One more thing Miss Barlow... you were about 14 in 2001, and you grew up in the UK, so why did they dismiss your school at noon on 9/11, when the attacks would have happened around 2 pm your time? I just don't understand how the school knew the attacks would be happening later"

It's a lot of "obviously Celtic people have paler skin compared to Yoruba people, therefore white and black are valid biological races"

One of the biggest issues in discussions about race and genetics is how smoothly people shift between the concept of a genetic population...and the racial groups they were raised to believe are biologically real.

Unstated here is that Steven Pinker actually agrees with a lot of Cofnas' views, and has written similar hereditarian things, just more politely.
Steven Pinker calling for academics to support biological racist Nathan Cofnas, and pretending the reason for his suspension is because he's a "whistleblower"

Flashback to racial hereditarian Nathan Cofnas likening black and brown med students to Orangutans. Sad that this is the kind of "important" thought many think needs to have a prominent place in academia.

Populations, in a genetic sense, are not "races" in the racialist sense, no matter how much the new scientific racists try to elide the two. That's the most important thing to remember when they start in on the topic.

So to be clear, no open letters when academics were being fired for "DEI", but this situation is where you just have to stand up and say something. Do you think it's understandable that people would find that curious?

This is pretty accurate
"Race science," or scientific racism, is a thoroughly debunked and discredited pseudoscience. It uses flawed methods, biased research, and distorted data to claim that humanity is divided into distinct, hierarchical biological races, with the intent of justifying racial superiority, discrimination, or inequality.

The race pseudoscientists barely even make a pretence of attempting to do scientific research. They simple repeat the same positions in writing each time while dismissing or ignoring the mainstream scientific work that discredits their claims. Always another "race is like dog breeds 🤦🏿‍♂️"

A lot of people who barely complained, if at all, when colleges engaged in purging people they deemed "DEI", are suddenly finding their "academic freedom" voices again now that biological racist Nathan Cofnas needs their support.

That is still the only definition I recognize too. The bastardization of the concept has led to nothing good or useful.

I regularly tell my kids "thank you for choosing me to be your dad". I don't care much about the philosophical soundness of the idea. I just want them to know how blessed I feel to be their father.

"I think you can perform at a higher level" is very different from "I think you're incompetent". If I meant that last one I would've said so. Way too much of the corporate world is managing the feelings of people who refuse to listen to actual words.

I'm simultaneously told I'm too blunt with people, while also being regularly accused of *really wanting to say* all sorts of things I strongly reject.

A mother that gives everything for her child, deserves everything. This lady crossed a desert while pregnant to give her boy a chance, and it was his action that won Spain the World Cup.

Moral justice won today. Argentina didn't deserve to be in the finals, and they played like that today. Dirty team helped by the refs to get this far. Spain should've beaten them even more.

Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland really grew on me in this World Cup. They are fundamentally decent guys that don't get portrayed that way enough.

That England vs France game has to be one of the most epic football games I've watched. Easily a classic worth rewatching. Even the misses were worthy of a highlight reel.

We're miles behind on AI regulation for sure. I don't think the appetite is there to regulate it, and neither is the understanding of it. The people who really get it are currently hired or too in-demand for government to compete for them.

There are a lot of more use cases. A lot of projects that may have required months of work for teams of 10-12, with their footprint in commute and everything that. Now some of that can be done by a couple engineers with AI in a month or less. Overall less impact I think.

AI access inequality is already a major issue in terms of increased personal productivity. A person with a lot of access to AI tools can do so much more and more quickly, compared to a person with the free versions of things like Claude or ChstGPT.

I feel like this whole "have kids" thing is a scam. They just end up eating all your food and taking your stuff. They know they've already got you hooked from your memories of them as adorable little babies.
