Please go watch Twin Peaks. It’s one of the best TV shows ever!

Except the child slave labor part would go away.

That’s the neat part, the republicans are trying to repeal child labor laws.

The problem is that unorganized resistance is impossible. It will result in martyrs and nothing more. No one wants to be a martyr for a doomed cause except fanatics who aren’t much use to anyone. And most people are willing to endure extreme pains if it means they get to live. The tipping point comes when there is a plausible way out through resistance. That has not yet show itself.

Organizing is difficult because it must be secret. The US government is proficient in infiltrating and destroying organized resistance and countering the same. (See all the revolutions it has fucked over the years.) An open rebellion will be quashed immediately with the media demonizing any participants.

To the extent that there is a successful or potentially successful resistance, we will not hear about it until it makes a major move. It will then be destroyed or rallied behind depending on how it deals with propoganda and whether it can garner general public support.

A military coup by a high ranking officer who takes their oath to uphold the constitution seriously is more likely to succeed. But such a person is likely not to exist because of the right wing nature of the military in the US.

If things keep going how they are going the rest of the world will need to take military action to end it a la WW1 and 2.

Most foreigners are putting the blame on potential allies in the US for not acting fast enough thus helping to fracture any movement before it can begin.

It’s easier on your neck to look side to side than it is up and down. So to get more screen real estate it makes more sense to go horizontal. Anecdotally, I constantly have two documents or a document and a web page open next to each other on one monitor. The landscape framing works really well for that.

Agreed but Fox is always like this with their shows. Most of the good ones started on Comedy Central or Adult Swim.

No the point of science is to test theories. Data can confirm or de confirm a theory. So, part of science is data collection. In fact, the data colllection is the most important part, otherwise it’s just theory and philosophizing.

But the data will be the same regardless of who is conducting the experiment. Changing the population that you conduct the experiment on is changing variables. Interpretation of the data may change depending on whether the experimenter is athiest or Christian.

I already qualified that I meant objective in two different senses and conceded that pure logical objectivity is not attainable through the scientific method.

Objective in the second way means that people performing the same actions will get the same results regardless of cultural or personal biases.

Observer bias refers to the interpretation of the data, and the construction of a model using that data. Bias also exists in the formation of theories which determine which experiments will be done.

However, two people performing the double slit experiment, for example, will find the same results as long as they follow the same methodology. The idea of the double slit experiment and what the data mean are of course up to interpretation and that interpretation will have some amount of bias.

This is the same as saying basketball games have objective scores. The score is what it is regardless of who is reading the number on the scoreboard or who is playing the game. The rules of the game are arbitrary in the same way that an experimental hypothesis and methodology are arbitrary. What the score means is subjective to the fans in the same way that data interpretation is subjective to the observer.

This is true to the extent that science can only prove things through induction and induction is not as good as deduction for logical proofs. Which means that it is not “objective” in the logical senses as it relates to physical reality. But science is “objective” to the extent that experiments are repeatable by any any given person following the same methodology will be the same results.

However the meme image is about interpretation of glyphs used to represent numbers. And the left guy on the bottom is a dumb fuck for not using one of the possible agreed upon options for the interpretation of that glyph.

This is more about interpretation of language and communication than science. Which puts you somewhere between the “9” and “6” guys because you are at least keeping the conversation in the interpretation of data / epistemology arena.

The problem are the people who see this and call it woke or start rambling about a flat earth. Those are the real dumb fucks who aren’t talking about any reasonable interpretation of the thing that is clearly being discussed.
