“Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.”

It would be interesting to see the actual distributions overplotted not just the averages. Wonder what the median scores would show. Is there a threshold score for admittance? What if all those “races” are above the threshold then does it matter if one race does ‘worse’ than the other? Is SAT...

That’s the wrong plot to address the point of likelihood of admittance. What is the fraction of students that apply who are admitted? swammerdami is suggesting that fraction is small irrespective of financial or scholastic status. Your plot just implies lower standards for the “colored folk”...

Depends what you think accountability looks like. I have yet to see much happen to Trump That looks like real accountability for his many discretions and crimes.

Similarly;

At the barest minimum we know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and human activity produces more CO2 than would be naturally produced in the current climate. That is evidence but not yet proof. That alone dispels your statement that there is “zero evidence”. If you really care, which I suspect you...

I’m not questioning that. Just the faulty logic presented by Derec. Whether there is or is not a famine is not going to be determined by the BMI of a single individual in a single photograph.

A review of the climate science literature, which I assume you have never done, shows your statement to be demonstrably false.

There are good scientific reasons to believe the current climate change discontent with historical natural changes. That we are directly influencing the climate through our actions and changes in our actions could alleviate the deleterious effects our actions are likely to cause. I don’t know...

The problem is that even the non-alarmists are ignored. Because the changes were slow and subtle to begin they could be ignored, starting decades ago. There’s just too much money to be made in the fossil fuel industry to give it up. So, if the science can be undermined it benefits those who...

An example would be if a non-scientist alarmist makes a prediction that doesn't come true and it leads to people dismissing the science because it predicted something wrong. And if those people support, or are themselves, anti-intellectual politicians that can result in the undermining of any...

One pudgy Palestinian nullifies any famine? Is this the same logic as how the pleasant temperatures of Santa Monica nullifies climate change?

Oh ye of little faith.

Gas prices are so historically volatile I question the validity of using them as a metric of overall economic health. If prices are definitely better than they were under Biden you assuredly can give another example. If it’s eggs though keep in mind the impact of the bird flu.

So nothing. I was just giving you information that it appeared from your response you might not have had.
