meme news man memeing about biocriminals going to trials and being hung.
yeah sure memey. keep the dream alive.
@icedquinn Does he believe in capital punishment or does he think biocrimes give you large penises?
@jautero he believes crimes against humanity have been committed and the people responsible should have to stand trial, and the standing / historic punishments for crimes against humanity is death.
@jautero i don't necessarily disagree with the crimes against humanity arguments but i have zero faith rich people are ever held accountable for things. on rare occasion they'll sacrifice a scapegoat like Epstein but that's about it.
@icedquinn You usually have to be on the wrong side of history to be punished. That often means also being on the losing side of a war.
@jautero It helps when you can casually suicide the witnesses, too.
@jautero i still *kind of* believe in innocent until proven guilty as a societal construct, but light reading on spooks and a couple years watching people playing deception games like SS13 and MUSH ... that's not at all how security apparati operate.
taleb made some interesting points about the current obsessions with empiricism and how negative empiricism has gone missing, which puts some perspectives on things.
more specifically, negative empiricism has the interesting effect of making you figure out how to disprove your own idea and it only takes ~1 data point to do this. contrast to normal empiricism which obsesses over finding supporting evidence (and thus leads to a lot of confirmation bias.)
medicine kinda casually asks these questions but its buried as sensitivity/specificity.
so basically, have to ask two questions
is there evidence bullshit happened
is there evidence bullshit did *not* happen
do the facilities even exist to have detected the bullshit in question

@jautero basically just forlorn rambling so probably don't have to worry about it much. 
@icedquinn @jautero still can’t believe the guy didn’t have a deadman’s switch
@icedquinn @jautero true. Can't say I haven't thought of that.
