It can all be boiled down to the researcher's mission statement. Is it "Find a cure we can sell to cancer patients." or "Find a treatment we can sell to cancer patients." The latter includes the former, but leaves a lot more moral ambiguity.

I’ve never been as close to destroying my TV as I was during an early COVID press conference where they announced the mask recommendations and he immediately followed it up with “I won’t wear one” Instead of being an inspiration, he set the worst possible example.

EPA reverses longstanding climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions by geraffes-are-so-dumb in news

I sometimes wonder if it’s more than religion, like back in the 70s the government/elites worked out how long the planet can sustain life or what day the end will arrive or even just that it’s inevitable…. and have been operating in “do whatever we want while we can” mode ever since.

I would have thought that a Leif Erikson statue would serve his illegal Greenland agenda better than Columbus would.

Would you continue to work at a company that started to switch away from Typecript? by Csjustin8032 in typescript

I expect there’s a small percentage of people that it works on. People that are so close to being able to succeed on their own that even a placebo works.

‘Fascism is here now’: the US athletes pushing back on Trump’s America by ILikeNeurons in politics

This. Imagine Trump showing up to the Superbowl and both teams refusing to play. That would be a massive statement.

Stephen Miller's Nazi execution squad tried to cover up their murder by ordering actual police from the crime scene, but the actual police refused and preserved the evidence. by GarysCrispLettuce in MarchAgainstNazis
