New Coronavirus - COVID-19

[redpoint5]

I suggest this as your video background:



As an aside, current video tech doesn't require a green screen. That function is built into Zoom chat for instance. Your healthcare provider will probably utilize an inferior product since it was probably marketed as "HIPAA compliant".

...probably marketed as "HIPAA compliant"

Yes, that was the pitch when I asked "not-Facebook?"

Have you looked at the video compositing aspects of Blender 2.8x? Not an area of interest to me, but it's parsecs ahead of anything else I've seen.

I especially like CGMatter's productions. He uses the compositer making them.


video is 3D. not 2D

Scott Adams take is interesting. Trump intentionally lies to bring media attention and fact checking. That fact checking fails and people dont remember the fact checking they only remember his statement. Trump uses this to manipulate the news media and people and keep them both focused on what he wants them focused on.

Trump says everyone that wants a test can get a test. The news media focuses on that, fact checks it, finds it false. That turns into noise and all people remember is ¨Anyone that wants a test can get a test¨.


Again interesting take and that might explain the binary opinion on Trump. People that want to believe what he says are reinforced by all the media attention. Other people just see him as someone that lies all the time.

Those are factual statements. They cannot both be true. One man is telling the truth and one is lying.

[redpoint5]

Well, the way you determine if a politician is lying is to see if their lips are moving.

Episode 881

11:32
...suppose the government said that
11:35
just for the period of the crisis will
11:37
create a second currency and it will be
11:40
a crypto currency that's a relevant
11:42
crypto we'll just make something up or
11:45
they could use the one that exists and
11:47
just endorse it and and they would just
11:50
say we're gonna we're gonna assign these
11:53
crypto coins to everybody even though a
11:57
certain income or even just everybody
11:59
and they will expire at the end of three
12:04
months or six months whatever or they'll
12:07
be automatically converted to cash

16:05
....my
16:09
prediction is ridiculously optimistic in
16:13
that we will save a lot of lives from
16:16
just being shut down fewer car accidents
16:19
fewer just you know industrial accidents
16:21
fewer fewer ways to die in general and
16:25
that even though we will lose thousands
16:27
I've already lost thousands to the
16:29
coronavirus that I don't think will net
16:32
more than 5,000 now nobody else agrees
16:35
with me so if you're trying to place
16:37
your own bets be aware that nobody in
16:40
the world has my prediction it's the
16:41
dumbest most outlier prediction anybody
16:45
can make because the government is
16:46
thinking this even even if we do a good
16:49
job the government is saying even if you
16:52
do a really good job and do everything
16:53
right there is we're talking tens of
16:57
thousands hundreds of thousands it's
16:58
going to be a big number say the
17:00
government and I'm going full contrarian
17:03
on that but I'm not saying that they
17:07
were wrong about the potential problem
17:09
I'm saying that the experts were largely
17:11
right about how big issue it was you
17:15
know in a order of magnitude way but
17:18
that will be more successful than people
17:20
people imagined so that our innovation
17:24
will make a big difference now I think
17:26
that this is interesting but the the
17:31
prospect of the hydroxychloroquine
17:33
working well enough to at least keep
17:36
people from hospitalization which is the
17:38
whole game
17:39
to me the entire game comes down to does
17:43
the hydroxychloroquine if given early
17:46
and do we have enough supply that's a
17:48
big question if given early does it keep
17:51
people from being hospitalized
17:54
anecdotally that looks to be the case

[sorry for the formatting. Better with or without time stamps?]

edit: Sample:

strong decisions can be
right and they can be wrong but they
almost never are politically wrong so
long as they're also compatible with
what the experts are saying so Trump is
so politically right this and also
according to the experts right he's
about as right as you can get and you
could argue should have been there
sooner you know what was he talking
about yesterday those those are good
conversations but at the moment he's as
right as you can get all right so I
guess Joe Biden appeared on Meet the
depressed and he was not asked about the
accusations against him by by a woman

'Meet the depressed' Kek.

Are we really arguing "factiness" vs. "truthiness"?

I'm on team factiness.

[RedDevil]

There's no such thing as absolute truth, as everything depends on the perspective of the observer.

But wait, we know what is true, right?
Did your memory ever fail you?

There's no such thing as absolute truth, and one of the reasons is we're all fallible.
