Joseph Hamilton eschewed all safety practices (never wore ppe around cyclotrons, never wore gloves while handling, drank radioactive samples in his class) and overtly pushed for the tainting of public water supplies for mass human experimentation in radiation testing--he also went on to die at 50 from radiation-induced leukemia.

yeah, thanks for turning me into the freaking comedian.


it's only off topic if you think it's all just a wild coincidence that *deep breath* the topology of the anglo scientific belief network developed into a rhizome of the 'natural sciences' coupled to a social science sphere, which, also coincidentally, got shotgun blasted into a donut with a giant hole where material conditions should have been. as opposed to a merely historically coincident, material function of the post-ww2 social science funding environment, fed by the nascent mic responding to the soviets and chinese challenging western capital's unfettered ascent to global hegemony, ultimately leading to the present situation where scientists are forced to choose between the adopting the axiom of individualism, situating their theory in the mic machinery, or largely foregoing funding and institutional support for their research.

yea that’s some good poo poo and you see this same sort of paradigm supported everywhere in the very fabric of reality created by the west and you see it’s acceleration in transhumanisn or whatever it is now leaking into popular thought still with poo poo like Musk and other idiot futurists. like I was in an argument with a friend over some insanely cutting edge cancer research or something someone was supporting and he was aghast why I thought it was an enormous waste of money whose entire purpose is to just create fictitious capital for speculation and maybe have like a 1% chance to cure cancer for wealthy people in like 50 years.
whereas if those resources would instead be invested in improving the very basic material conditions of people it would save many many more lives from cancer.

the lib brain is so attached to the notion of Cutting Edge World Changing research that they fail to understand that basic systematic interventions can accomplish more for less money

but I guess funding asbestos removal in old buildings is less exciting than CRISPRing mice to teach them to breakdance or whatever


i recently crack pinged pretty hard when I realized the possibility of applying ecological / superorganism analysis to people. Do you know of any good stuff to read in that area? Besides, like, literally all Marxist writers I guess.

quote:

As far as the public could tell, Malibu was being terrorized by an elusive killer, the Canyon Shooter, who already had a string of victims. But law enforcement seemed, almost willfully, to resist that interpretation. Press releases from the sheriff’s department hewed to a strict narrative, which seemed to justify the decision not to warn the public before the murder: “Homicide detectives are advising, at this time there is no evidence to suggest the past shootings are related to the June 22, 2018 homicide.”

Inside Lost Hills Station, the faction that had long believed there was a sniper at large was frustrated. On the morning of the murder, Manwell reported to the campground. “When we found out that Mr. Beaudette was killed, I can tell you I was angry as hell,” he said. “My belief was, we should have warned the public, giving them a choice of whether they wanted to drive through the canyon, stay at the campground, or anything else.” He went on, “I felt very much like we had failed this family.”

The pressure intensified to come up with a suspect. Manwell told me, “It was focussed on a lone-wolf type of guy.”

quote:

According to his father, Oswald, Rauda had been a meticulous child, shy and gentle, who loved playing baseball. When he was young, the family lived in Highland Park, on the Eastside of Los Angeles, close to cousins and to the elementary school. After Oswald and Anthony’s mother divorced, he says, she and her new husband moved Anthony and his two older siblings to Tampa, and he lost touch with them. Anthony dropped out of high school, got a G.E.D., and briefly joined the Army, training in infantry. By the time he showed up back in L.A., Oswald felt that he’d changed.

quote:

In Malibu, those who felt that law enforcement had been hiding the existence of the Canyon Shooter are not entirely convinced that they arrested the right person. Karen and Arnold York, the publishers of the Malibu Times, a community newspaper, told me that they “take it with a grain of salt.” Karen said, “The fact that this guy was a homeless guy, it was so easy to say, ‘His fault.’ Who knows? It may be a perfectly preppy-looking guy, who’s got issues with guns, who did this, but we’re not going to look for him. We’re going to focus on somebody that threatens our vision of what Malibu should be.”

Even Sergeant Wright, who firmly believes the serial-shooter theory, admits that the Rauda story is a little neat. “I would think it would take some nerve to commit a burglary directly next door to the station,” he told me. “I mean . . . why would somebody commit a murder and then hold on to the same weapon? And then do burglaries on videotape, making very little effort to hide, other than putting a mask on part of your face? There’s an assumption that most criminals would think, if their picture was captured on camera with a weapon, that there’s going to be a heightened law-enforcement effort to engage them, and that’s exactly what happened.”

quote:

More than two years later, Rauda’s criminal trial has yet to begin, but he and his family continue to proclaim his innocence. Oswald told me that he doesn’t understand how Rauda got the carbine and can’t imagine him using it. “He doesn’t even hunt,” he said. “He eats from the dumpsters at the McDonald’s near the 101.” Rauda’s brother-in-law told me that he believes Anthony has been framed. Rauda, too, argues that the focus on him is misplaced. “The Beaudette family and friends can blame the sheriff’s department for his death,” he wrote. “That’s where the justice is at.”

Since this is now The Book Thread, A Theory of the Drone is an interesting read about the philosophy and ethics of drone warfare that touches on this.

The first section of the book covers a bit of history and discusses the impacts of drone use. This is followed by a relatively philosophical discussion of what warfare means to society and whether drones fit into that philosophical framework. The third section covers the ethics of drones and mostly challenges the idea that they are a "humane" weapon. The book then moves back into the legal framework of war and policing and makes the point that drones don't fit into either of those. It ends by discussing the political implications of being able to wage war without risking humans and why that's concerning.

drones are terror weapons for developed countries to use on lovely ones that can't control their airspace or whose governments are compromised enough that they let the USA fly drones around to rough up the locals

like white phosphorous doesn't really fill a justifiable "legal" role either but our troops need a little bit o "illumination" every now and then...

When 100% of the eight non-George Bush Sr people in a group have one experience, and George Bush Sr gets another totally different one, I dunno. God might roll dice, but that dude did not. Instead he engineered some history's most massive deceptions to shape the story his way.


The Amazon page for it is funny. Lots of disenchanted angry US patriots, US exceptionalists, and Christians in the reviews who came for a heroic story of our boys but got Rape of Nanking and toxicity of US influence instead.

And then there's this detail in the story that I hadn't read anywhere else:


Oh, come on, really???
