Science is not a "belief". It's a "deduction"
One is based on logic. The other is based on ~~gut feeling~~ emotion.
edited: I feel like emotion is a better contrast in my analogy.

"Facts" and "Beliefs" do not share equal weight in ANY policy discourse.

Whatever your religious beliefs (and you are welcome to them) stays at home when you are doing business or in any other way interacting with the public.
The answer is in the headline...
You are essentially my thesis statement. Lol.
How many millions did they pay to some yuppie marketing firm to come up with this jack-assery.
Kamala promised to explain how magnets work.
Awww shucks. Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.
thinks he’s being handed the power to write regulations for his own companies
As soon as Kamala said in the debate that Trump can be entirely coerced with flattery and fawning, I picture Elon watching that and jumping up shouting EUREKA!
I have a couple of 80s Rokkors that I use with a speedbooster on my lumix g9, a 50mm and a 35mm. Despite having to do some math in terms of converting things like focal length, etc... because of the adaptor, It's WELL worth it.
I made a Bluesky account and I'll generally try to post to it the same amount as my Mastodon account. But despite the so called "exodus" from Twitter, I don't find Bluesky to have any of the people I'm interested in following any more than Mastodon does. So it's a wash.
I'm keeping it around to see if more of my friends show up. But that's about all.
Oh man...I have an entire ten page paper on the go about this topic and it just keeps growing. One day I'll publish it in a blog or something, but for now it's just me vomiting up my thoughts about mass market manufacturing and the loss of zeitgeist.
The examples that I always use are a) Camera Lenses, b) Typewriters, and c) watches.
Mechanical things age individually, developing a sort of Kami, or personality of their own. Camera lenses wear out differently, develop lens bokehs that are unique. Their apertures breath differently as they age No two old mechanical camera lenses are quite the same. Similarly to typewriters; usage creates individual characteristics, so much so that law enforcement can pinpoint a particular typewriter used in a ransom note.
It's something that we've lost in a mass produced world. And to me, that's a loss of unimaginable proportions.
Consider a pocket watch from the civil war, passed down from generation to generation because it was special both in craftsmanship and in connotation. Who the hell is passing their Apple Watch down from generation to generation? No one....because it's just plastic and metal junk in two years. Or buying a table from Ikea versus buying one made bespoke by your neighbour down the street who wood works in his garage. Which of those is worthy of being an heirloom?
If our things are in part what informs the future of our role in the zeitgeist, what do we have except for mounds of plastic scrap.
No downvote. I 100% agree.
