Tarski’s Theorem: Truth in the standard model of any sufficiently strong formal system cannot be defined within the terms of the system. Yglesias’s Theorem: No number of seminar-hours dedicated to a given Platonic dialogue will generate consensus as to what the point is. — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously the most practical field of study is philosophy where as undergrad you learn both formal mathematical logic and also stuff like “it’s hard to say exactly what Plato was trying to say here.” — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
People need to update their views on this, the much-called-for shift to practical fields of study is clearly under way. All the “learn to code” jokes worked. — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike a nuclear weapon, it's really hard to make a biological weapon *useful* unless you're a total nutjob who wants to kill tons of people at random. But people — including distinguished scientists — say crazy things about this! https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/mh1aah8izO — PolitiTweet.org

Worse than an accident is the threat of bioterrorism. These days, trained scientists can engineer pathogens with commercially available equipment inside lab spaces that are small enough to be easy to conceal. https://t.co/FYN5g8E1lj — PolitiTweet.org

Lab security is not great. When the FDA moved offices from Bethesda to White Oak they found a box full of lost viral samples in the back of a cold storage room. It had six vials of smallpox. Other countries have done much worse. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/X2uF5xXZRR — PolitiTweet.org

This is not coincidence, there are fundamental economic and ecological drivers of the worsening situation and they are all still in place. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X https://t.co/BqeNXeSeFV — PolitiTweet.org

As of 1980, the infectious disease situation had been getting better & better for decades. But since then we had HIV/AIDS, the SARS scare, the worst Ebola outbreaks ever, Covid, and monkeypox, all with antibiotic resistant bacteria in the background. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The Covid-19 pandemic was bad, but more importantly it would be wrong to think of it as a one-off — the overall pandemic threat environment is getting worse and we should expect more bad stuff to come. https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X — PolitiTweet.org
