[HYPO ⚠️]
A meteor is hurtling rapidly towards impact with a particular city. In approximately 48 hours, impact is projected to wipe out most life in the city
48 hours isn't enough time to evacuate even 10% of the population. Should residents be warned anyway?
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If you knew 100% that no one aware of the impending incident would leak, then, No.
🔘 potential impacts are "near misses" far more often than actual impacts; "this will 100% hit at xyz" is almost impossible to call
🔘 ensuing panic over announcement would have a body count
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
If, however, you hypothetically had the tech to get the kinds of highly precise readings that give you 99.99999% "will hit at xyz", then you should advise - because "two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead". Someone will leak.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
You have to announce so that civil defense / government can coordinate against opportunistic attacks by adversaries, as well as evac as possible
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Depending on how precisely you can forecast impact, you can prioritise evacuation by air of the population at ground zero, and SIP for those increasingly at distance

Curtis Yarvin's only schtick is to say the opposite of whatever we collectively understand to be decent or good.
He's basically The Daily Stormer but cleaned up in a way that allows Marc Andreessen to talk about him at dinner parties.

The amazing part isn't just the wrong answer, but that the explanation it gives is accurate — and it simply doesn't know that 27 is a smaller number than 32.
Billions of dollars spent to make a black box machine that doesn't know something elementary school kids know.
Steve Watts (@sporkyreeve.bsky.social):
My going theory for this is that it's confusing the concepts of freezing point and boiling point. So it "thinks" that the number has to be above the freezing number, like boiling water, rather than below
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This explanation gives it too much credit. It can't be confused; it isn't capable of that level of sophistication. It smashed together English language sentences in a way that its n-dimensional pachinko machine matrix allowed, and spat out a grammatically valid but factually wrong sentence
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Even the "grammatically valid" part is mere coincidence.

For an acquaintance of mine who was born with ovaries and a uterus, it arose such that there was a medical necessity for the ovaries to be removed. The attending physician recommended a full hysterectomy. Because studies showed the slight increased likelihood of cancer after ovarectomy —
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Acquaintance was lifelong cancer-free, and moreover valued her sexual response, and nixed the hysterectomy.
There ensued a seven-month long battle with the attending and insurance companies, during which the condition with the ovaries necessitated two in-patient interventions.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Eventually she located another physician who, able to see reason and compassion (instead of treating "studies show" as absolute dogma), got the signoff on a mere ovarectomy, and has not had issues since.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
I'm also going to observe here at this juncture that physicians would often brandish a study / set of studies that showed a slight increased likelihood of deep vein thrombosis under the administration of feminising HRT, to refuse to prescribe such to AMAB trans people.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
There have been doctors who refused to diagnose clinical significance to gender dysphoria under a previous revision of the DSM because patient experienced no significant external factors / axes of dysphoria. Some refused because of too many external factors.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
We're talking about a discipline in which the Cass Review — a deeply flawed and garbage paper — is being enforced on the discipline by law in one country and was considered in legal arguments in another, and there was no organised motion to correct this miscarriage of practice from the discipline
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
A discipline which is happy to accept that the unlicensed government and unlicensed insurance industry can dictate practice in contravention of patient fiduciary duty & standards of care & medical science, and where patients must strenuously self-advocate
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Not merely in the scope of endocrine care but in all subdisciplines
So it is in fact "In my own practice I do not prescribe XYZ because of —", the chances are excellent that this is truthfully finished with "— the undue influence imposed by insurance and theocratic bigotry under the colour of law"

Here we see Bardo again speaking on a subject he knows little about. I don't purport to be a subject matter expert myself but I did work for over 10 years at one of the largest mutual life insurance companies in the US.
When he says "unlicensed" insurance industry thats simply wrong, full stop. I dont like the industry at all when it comes to medical/dental/vision. I feel they are a needless middleman between patient and provider. That said, these insurance companies are indeed licensed. These companies employ MDs of all stripes, dentists/oral surgeons/optometrists/opthalmologists and so on. Its called "Professional Review". Most of the day to day claims filed get paid out or partially paid. There does come a point though where you need an actual licensed doctor to sit down and review if the service was indeed necessary.
There is an appeals process, there is subrogation, there are ways to escalate it to the state's insurance commissioner (gubmint employee) to seek relief if you feel something should have been paid that wasn't. Its not a fun process and it can be a pain in the butt but these avenues exist. So when he is sperging about the govt and insurance like its the wild west and ur just fricked I'd say thats an uninformed take.
Bardy is also missing the elephant in the room here. If there is bank to made off of HRT and SRS you better believe insurance and providers are gonna be all over that shit because they are trying to make money. Not take some moral stance.
