Yeah that's an unacceptably low ROC curve for a medical usecase

Didn't know about that one, thanks!

The site Semantic Scholar and Perplexity AI do a good job of using ML to help with that but the problem with scientific publishing is fundamental to it's business model which needs to be uprooted to make modern science feasible

The first line in one of my campaigns from a player:

"It seems you have been given the test of race, and you have failed"

You've clearly never lived in Montréal. We have had a massive decrease in private lots over the years, massive expansion of bike lanes, expansion of car share programs, and newly built train lines. Every year we are less and less dependent on cars and the city has only gotten better from things like this.

You haven't been through border security?

I'm not an expert on the application of political philosophy for societal change. I'd say that is something you should look into from anarchist literature as many scholars have done deep into the application of left wing ideology without authoritarianism.

Though I'm also a bit confused on what you mean by "authoritarianism". From your examples the first is an interaction between two people about public health and the other is someone not following a rule about respecting protected characteristics and being punished by it. I don't think those would be classified as "authoritarian" unless the definition of authoritarian is "receiving backlash for my actions which can harm others"

I do agree that it ends up looking like a political compass, which for your average person makes it easier to understand. However this kind of discounts that to be authoritarian is also to give up many of the things that make left ideology left. Meanwhile libertarian ideology tends to naturally devolve back into feudalism.

Well yeah you aren't exactly wrong, but if we are talking about the very basic ideas of "progressive" and "conservative", Tankies are basically authoritarians with the vineer of being left wing. They in the end go against basically everything they think they stand for, but those are basically the people who are pointing to when people go "well the communist are just as bad!"

It's honestly rather stupid

"yeah I read theory" - worst person you'll ever meet

Well I think it's because we do have a concept of leftwing authoritarianism already, but it's not called progressivism, it's called being a Tankie. I see the similarities in that if fascist is the extreme of conservatism then Tankie is the extreme of progressivism but that isn't really the case seeing that extreme progressivism is most of the time Anarchism.

Yeah I feel that, I also think there are some books where the friction is there enough that audiobooks are perfectly fine as a substitute. I think for textbooks maybe it's more than I need a direct and tangible reason to use the knowledge but then it won't feel I'm reading to learn but reading to do something else. It ain't easy 😂
