I think you might be onto something. A research paper or thesis, when boiled down, is just a product. How the product is made is difficult to determine, and there's an inherent incentive to make it the best product by any and all means. But if it were instead a process that was facilitated and had to be done in-person, that can be controlled more tightly

That's exactly right. Even if we made an AI that could give us the perfect solution and had accurate projections to back up its assertions, inevitably we'd reject it because we wouldn't trust it fully. It cannot fix the often selfish nature of humans

Many Catholic priests are gay, and it's sort of incentivized. Their view is that being gay doesn't inherently mean you're a bad person or going to hell. However, acting on gay sexual urges is a sin. So becoming a priest and being celibate is a convenient out. Also there's a priest shortage, so turning a blind eye is likely common

For reference, Illinois is the place Missouri folks can go for proper treatment (including abortion access). It can be a 4-5 hour drive from the west side of the state though

Honestly can't believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an "open standard" and then turning around and doing this

ABC isn't perceived as a partisan network, is it?

In that video it sure sounds like he says "I love you Christians, I'm not Christian"

Well, sure, but I'm sure most coal miners don't feel super great about their specific job and profession generally. It's a waste of resources and capital generally, not at a zoomed in level
