I learned that 'dampening variable' is an analog for 'fudge factor'. Apparently Chenk Ugyur was red-pilled by the State of the Union address. The white boards explain why climate change is off the table. Peer review reduces the truth.

OTOH, clickbait -- he doesn't destory his new $500 printer.
The 7 Tells of Cognitive Dissonance are useful.

JBP has had several experts on recently to discuss climate catastrophism.

There's no political currency in a level-headed, rational, measured approach. You can't get people to quickly shovel their liberty into the hands of a Great Leader playing that game. You've got to be convinced that you're teetering on the edge of a cliff before you'll hand over the most important thing you've been endowed with.

Did you catch the part about POTUS saying the domestic fossil fuel industry needs to invest billions in infrastructure, because we're still going to need it for 10 more years? I guess we can't expect a career politician to understand how markets work, or incentives.

Scott's observation about time being too valuable as you get older to monkey with things seems mostly right. The other thing is I have less and less interest to figure extremely obscure things out just to solve a little issue. That said, it's foolish to take out frustration on the hardware when it's a software issue. Guess it isn't as satisfying to delete an application.

I'll have to listen to Chenk, because he doesn't seem like the type that would accept even what his own eyes were seeing given the depth of his ideological possession.

We've known the scholarly process has been broken for some time. Just look at the Peter Boghossian Grievance Study experiments where he exposes how corrupt the gatekeepers of knowledge have become ideologically possessed. Rather than thank him for finding a problem in need of solving, they turn to cancel him. Hey, the problem goes away by killing the messenger!
