Arguably Wrong

Theoretical population genetics and apparently now amateur epidemiology

Underappreciated thing about WBC is that it is primarily a grift. The founder was an ex-civil right lawyer who made money off riling up people to infringe his rights, then suing. The church is literally just his family, there are no other members.

The Westboro Baptist Church won. Everyone is a totally, unnecessarily incendiary idiot now, so embedded in hyperreal performance they've forgotten they were doing it for the clicks. The only saving grace is that AI will destroy the information environment by the end of the year



An interesting point here: Minnesota has a state False Claims Act, which allows individuals to file private lawsuits alleging fraud. Whistleblowers get a fraction of the treble damages + penalties. Could be quite profitable.

crazy stuff: government-subsidized businesses in Minnesota that apparently don’t actually exist, including daycares devoid of children there are going to be interesting layers to this, including people with multiple companies and/or commercial landlords renting to them, etc.



My favorite favorite part of this quote, which is rather emblematic of the whole mindset, is "sail the ships eastward [from America] into the Pacific Ocean"
