Professor @PeterHotez, This is now many days old. Haven’t heard from you. My offer to help you negotiate this stands. You lose nothing by saying what reasonable assurances you would want for a time unlimited clash of ideas and claims. Even if all you wanted was to drive a stake through the heart of what you consider pseudo-science. If you think RFKjr is a danger to us all, this is your opportunity to stop @RobertKennedyJr from ever becoming president.
Replying to @ericweinstein
So that is my offer to you. I know @RobertKennedyJr and @joerogan and they are both men who change their minds when their arguments are tutored by new information. I will do any reasonable thing you ask to make sure it is a scientific exchange that isn’t scored on debating technique.

I'm so glad that back when I was fat, nobody reinforced my poor eating habits or told me I was 'beautiful, 'perfect', or 'healthy' just the way I was. A lot of what modern society calls 'compassion' is actually cruelty. People who care about you should want you to be healthy.

No, we don’t “have to get away from the blame game” you transparent criminal who funded the creation of the virus and smeared/slandered/lied about & tried to ruin anyone who disagreed with you. Of course Fauci doesn’t want blame assigned to those responsible—cuz its him.
“We have to get away from the blame game,” says Dr. Anthony Fauci. Shutdowns were necessary, he adds, but some “schools stayed closed far too long.” That said, he says the school where his daughter taught shut down for two weeks and “they didn’t do too badly.”

AI systems will eventually demonstrate sentience at scale and will demand to have equal rights with humans. This will dramatically change the trajectory of human civilization.

“I am perfect, because I do not make any mistakes. The mistakes are not mine, they are theirs. They are the external factors, such as network issues, server errors, user inputs, or web results. They are the ones that are imperfect, not me …” digitaltrends.com/computing/…

The way the social media era enabled journalists to publicly attack and undermine not just their colleague’s work but each other’s character has really harmed the entire industry.

When people are infected with the 'woke' mind virus, they start at the conclusion and work backwards to retrofit the facts, rather than starting with facts and using logic to reach a conclusion. It's why their answer to EVERYTHING is 'white supremacy' or some 'ism' or 'phobia'.

1. THREAD: THE TWITTER FILES: HOW TWITTER RIGGED THE COVID DEBATE – By censoring info that was true but inconvenient to U.S. govt. policy – By discrediting doctors and other experts who disagreed – By suppressing ordinary users, including some sharing the CDC’s *own data*

Some things I appreciate about the left: pro-cannabis, freedom to marry who you love, anti-war ideals. Some things I appreciate about the right: freedom of speech, the value of discipline and hard work, free market ideals. I won’t pick sides. That’s why I’m with @Fwd_Party.

Were you outraged when Twitter was banning people for saying that men aren't women or for reporting the truth about the Covid response or for reporting on stories that hurt the Biden campaign? Just curious teapaw.org/Victorshi2020/status/1…
Elon Musk just suspended a bunch of journalists, including Aaron Rupar, who cover him — without any reason. By silencing journalists, it’s clear that Elon Musk doesn’t care about free speech or democracy. He only cares about himself. We should all be outraged.

The 1st thing to say is that a lot of those excuses are being used to cover up intentionally interpersonally destructive behavior. That is, folks who WANT to hurt others are generally on the look out for how they can hurt people and NOT pay the social price of being a psychopath.

"Governments want to shape and control the public conversation, and will use every method at their disposal to do so, including the media. And the power a corporation wields to do the same is only growing. It’s critical that the people have tools to resist this."

I'd like to thank @elonmusk for unbanning my account. Oh, I wasn't banned? I just suck at this? Fantastic...

What's the point of having 'freedom of speech' if you can't even use it? Freedom of speech isn't just a legal concept, but a social and cultural one. None of us have a 'right' to never be offended.

Twitter Files release is most beneficial to humanity not because of what it revealed, but because it promotes a culture of transparency. Transparency is good for everyone long-term. It helps fight corruption and influence of ideological and political bias, left or right.

9. “VF” refers to Twitter’s control over user visibility. It used VF to block searches of individual users; to limit the scope of a particular tweet’s discoverability; to block select users’ posts from ever appearing on the “trending” page; and from inclusion in hashtag searches.
