I’m not shocked, he’s totally on the spectrum, almost off it in fact. It’s part of what makes him interesting.
Maybe there’s some ableist woke defense for the neuro-atypical professor.

He was the guy behind prediction markets, he even had a contract with the DoD to build one predicting terrorist events which was canceled once people framed it as ‘giving people the ability to profit off of death’ or whatever.
More recently he was the most prominent proponent of “variolation”, or intentional infection of volunteers with low levels of virus to move us to herd immunity.

You know the great conceling is upon us when GMU professors aren’t safe.

No thanks.
Twitter is what you get when you allow an infinite amount of comments on 'news items'.
Give me the non-commented news sites any day.

If for no other reason than the source seems better to understand that their job is to present the news and not solicit their readers' opinion of it.

He's brilliant but nowadays the narrative is his reality. He's as angry and righteous about white cops murdering black folk as anybody.
Education is extremely important.

I hadn't seen that - I know it's not something anybody here seems to want to accept, and feel free to write me off as a brain-dead liberal as you see fit, but maybe, just maybe, he has a point? Maybe there is actually some truth to the narrative.
I honestly don't know. I'm not black. I've lived a very privileged life. I've never been pulled over because I'm driving a car that doesn't seem to fit my demographic. What I do know is that when I hung out with a bunch of Pakistani kids for a few years in the UK, they frequently had to endure all kinds of shit that I'd never come across.

I watched his 26-minute open-air thing in Ohio several times now. He's got his own narrative about this. He's on the "police brutality" side of the argument to be sure, but his arguments are his own. It'd be dishonest to label him as a mouthpiece.
His point about Chris Dorner and the importance about how that drama ended was well-considered.

In England they've had these shows where a conservative spokesperson has to live on benefits for a month to prove how freaking easy it is, as the statistical analysis say that it's easily a living wage.
There are numerous examples of this not being nearly as easy as was thought. Apart from anything else, have you any idea how difficult it is to find smoked salmon and pate de foie gras at an affordable price?
