Reading this article is like walking through deep mud. This is largely due to the author‘s excessive and baffling use of commas. But also due to myriad grammatical errors and ambiguous sentence constructions. Parsing some of his sentences is like looking at an optical illusion or an ambiguous painting. All things considered, I had a bad time attempting to read this article. I do not look forward to reading more of this author‘s writing in the future.
Comparing states is fallacious because there are so many confounding factors. The lowest vaccinated states, in the Bible Belt, are highest for almost all health conditions. People in those states are less healthy period. One cannot draw conclusions that way.
In my view it should be decided by a class of philosophers. People who from an early age were possessed of a duty to the whole.
I prefer Hegel’s critique. In his Philosophy of Right. It’s a difficult read but very much worth it. This is from the Editor’s Introduction:
“Hegel's liberal critics are in the habit of saying that he does not believe in founding a social order on the conception of individual rights. The element of truth in this assertion is that Hegel thinks personal right, apart from a developed system of ethical life, is an empty abstraction; he believes that a social order founded (as in liberal political theory) on such abstractions will be unable even to protect individual rights, much less to actualize the whole of concrete freedom. In fact, Hegel thinks that the greatest enemy of personal and subjective freedom is a 'mechanistic' conception of the state, which views the state solely as an instrument for the enforcement of abstract rights; for this sets the state up as an abstraction in opposition to individuals. In Fichte's theory, for example, Hegel sees the state as a police power whose only function is to supervise and regulate the actions of individuals through coercive force. The only real guarantee of freedom is a well-constituted ethical life, which integrates the rights of persons and subjects into an organic system of customs and institutions providing individuals with concretely fulfilling lives.” (p. xvi)
This is the problem generally known as liberalism. Hobbes said the foundation of the state was the arbitrary Will of the individuals in the state. Modern states are thus founded on caprice. The solution is as JFK said: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
The graphic is misleading:
- You can easily do prerendering and asset packing in the frontend build step
- You don't need MVC on the backend
- You can use a third party for authorization
- Frontend can just be a React app
- VirtualDOM doesn't add any complexity in addition to the frontend View
- You don't need MVC on the frontend
- Frontend can fetch data from the API and cache it with cache-control header
The simplest setup is actually to host a React app from an S3 bucket and use Lambda / Cloud Functions to respond to network requests.
People simultaneously refuse to accept what they're really good at and attribute to them capabilities they don't really have.
That's called neurosis generally.

This doesn't make sense. If Twitter isn't politically biased, then why do they have elite progressive news agencies doing fact-checking? If Twitter "doesn't censor topics, only behavior" then why do they explicitly state that they censor misinformation?
Corporates, Business Rivals, Nation-States, and Criminal Organizations alike want to influence their target crowd in one way or another to achieve a diverse set of strategic objectives. And they absolutely do not hesitate to employ the means of Disinformation.
Be it the denigration of Covid vaccines or promotion of a particular election candidate, we have seen the usage of Disinformation time and time again...
Pretty ironic. Wouldn't business and government want to encourage people to get vaccines? It gives them an enormous amount of leverage over the herd. They'll use disinformation to make vaccines seem safer and more effective than they really are, in order to secure universal compliance from the masses. If you control people's immune systems, you win.

This supposes Hume was a great philosopher, and that skepticism is an admirable philosophical position. These are questionable suppositions.
Half of all people do not get jokes.
Because saying "I'll wait until the pandemic is over" is a reliable way of putting off doing something you're afraid of doing.
"When confronted by a fact that clearly goes against some deep conviction of ours, we can react to it in one of two basic ways: either simply and brutally rejecting it, or endorsing it in a “subl(im)ated” form, as something not to be taken literally, but rather as an expression of a deeper or higher truth. For example, we can either reject outright the idea of Hell (as a real place where sinners suffer endless pain as punishment for their deeds), or we can claim that Hell is a metaphor for the 'inner turmoil' we suffer when we do something wrong." (Zizek, Less Than Nothing)
Simply renaming the file extension won’t work, as the compiler stops completely at type errors.
Why did the author think that this would work exactly?
The comment you replied to is about right-wing response to the virus.
Still, barring the political stuff (supposing that's possible)—your comment implies that people who wear masks do so because they are educated. I'd suggest that it is far more likely that they do so because they are deferential to authority by default.
EDIT: s/smart/educated
It is indeed a Hegelian perspective shift. The prefix is 'auto,' though, which means 'self.'
Don't all currencies work that way?
Philosophy has been my main interest for many years now. I believe that I have one of the best active philosophy blogs on the web. Please take a look: https://hegelsbagels.net/
It only works for VSCode? This is so frustrating because this is exactly the kind of system I've been looking for.
The question is really do politicians in the US have the balls...
Exactly. Authoritarianism works really well during a pandemic. But it isn't the American "way," so we're stuck with coronavirus.
Obviously you can't do a true, 100%, lockdown like that
If you're willing to ration food and other resources, a lot of options open up. Nobody wants to rip the bandaid off, though, so we're stuck in limbo.
Bret Weinstein (the evolutionary biologist) has argued for a new, "brief but intense" lockdown. We know so much more about the virus now than we did back in March, we might yet be able to orchestrate a way to suffocate the virus completely.
Who gets to decide what counts as a "distortion" of the holocaust?
