Im seeing people frame this as ignorance/arrogance. Understand that this man acts out of a genuine hate/disgust for disabled people--this is the root of his anti-vaccination policies and work, and his takes on autism.
We must acknowledge the intent.
And the hatred/ableism/eugenics.

It’s also the years of constant degrading of the arts, years of saying “it’s a lesser”. It’s infuriating

His statement disgusted me. So clueless and so greedy

RFK, Jr. is not a scientist or a medical professional He has no knowledge or understanding of the science of autism or how it affects the families that are affected. He should just STFU.

Universities in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union thought giving in to government demands would save their independence Before the Nazis, German universities were among the best in the world. Step by step, the universities gave up their independence until they were instruments of the state.

The Powers and Principalities Manipulating Columbia University As a professor at Columbia, I cannot remain silent about the crisis my university is facing.

“By choosing capital over conviction, self-preservation over truth, and the principalities and powers over the people it claims to serve, Columbia has betrayed the trust of its students and faculty.”

Yep yep yep. And the weird thing is that making 15 edits to the genome of a gray wolf is a huge accomplishment in itself.🧪

But that kind of intellectual honesty probably doesn’t motivate investors as much

Ash from the eruption of a volcano in Yellowstone preserved more than 100 specimens of a prehistoric rhino at Nebraska's Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park.

An entire super-herd of Teleoceras major fossils was recently discovered - preserved in the ash of a 12 million year old volcano! These ancient rhinos had limited mobility and thrived in wet habitats! 🧪

I saw someone break down DEI to the opposite; Diversity - opposite is uniformity; Equity - opposite is bias,discrimination, and injustice; Inclusion - opposite is exclusion So when you say you are against DEI then you are for uniformity, discrimination and exclusion. Hope that helps

Unfortunately too many behave the same way. I was reminded this morning that people are just mean

I was reminded again this morning that I put my foot in my mouth and am too stupid to remember not to comment cause it’s always taken wrong. Silence is better

Thank you for the reminder I’m stupid. Appreciate it. I shouldn’t talk it’s always taken the wrong way and fuck my life. I forget how much I should not be on this earth and internet

Fair

I didn’t mean to be insulting, but the only way to argue when someone looks down on others is to point out that it includes them. Like when I pointed out to a friend that she was a DEI hire when she got her job, her immediate reaction was “I was qualified” which highlighted her racism. “Came for me”

Everyone thinks “not me” till it’s them. It is a defense mechanism in some ways. It’s also from years of systematic victim blaming, “oh that happened because they…” when you constantly blame the victim then you can’t be a victim cause you “aren’t doing that”. In terms of countries it’s just bigger

Im so intrigued by the fact that even now the NYT cannot simply say "Trump lies" but instead "Trump uses lies" in the lede/text.

Writers know the difference, even if casual readers won't.

It is literally due to fear of retaliation because Trump said if you don’t accept my facts then you no longer get a seat at the table. AP is suing over that while the others give in

Spines spotted. Rare commodity in science these days.
