What are some examples of marvellous projects human beings have undertaken that took ~ a century or more?

Steven Strogatz is such a fun interviewer and Leslie Vosshall, what a badass! Great episode. #downwiththedudewall twitter.com/quantamagazine…

Experts are not convinced; they’ve found major flaws in these papers.

About #MeenaBot data (asked by @GaryMarcus & others):
1. Only one occurrence of "Hayvard" in the training data.
2. The sentence that contains "Hayvard" has meaning similar to "Guess what, I obtained my bachelor from Hayvard."
3. No occurrence of "cow*" in the same conversation. twitter.com/quocleix/statu…

Well what do you think? Why is it harmful?
The women who buy the goops and go to the orgasm workshops probably 1) think they like them. 2) have doctors for their actual problems. 3) would have bought some other crap that didn’t have empowerment messages attached, if not Goop.

A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

"Just because she doeant directly put people in a dangerous situation doesnt make her (or Goop) any less insidious."
You sure about that?

Totally. As a curmudgeon who sees much that disgusts me at every turn, I'm with you. But I also agree with the NYT piece that scientific hubris and sexism are major drivers of the criticism of Goop, and that disgusts me even more.

Both American capitalism and American feminism are in shambles, no doubt about that. I guess GP & Goop are just really far down on my personal list of who or what is to blame.

A lot of companies sell a lot of crap to people that they don’t need, just like a lot of doctors put people on a lot of drugs they don’t need.

Most bridges work. But there are a lot of Tacoma Narrows Bridges in medical science and it's hubris to pretend otherwise.

What if she's neither a feminist hero nor a grifter with that aim? The ratio of the harm she has done to the harm that e.g. the Sacklers have done is approximately zero, yet people can't shut up about Goop. Why?

Haha the replies to my tweet certainly don't suggest so! But in any case, Science Bros (like Bernie Bros) can have any gender, as long as they lack humility and focus their ire on the wrong people.

In defense of Goop. Please read if you might be a Science Bro: nytimes.com/2020/02/03/opi…
