Censorship is the new book burning.
Freedom and the Republic dies to thunderous applause from the hive-mind.
hive mind
noun
a notional entity consisting of a large number of people who share their knowledge or opinions with one another, regarded as producing either uncritical conformity or collective intelligence.
"he has become one of those celebrities whose online presence has made him a favorite of the Internet hive mind"
This is a community of like minded people... What do you expect? We should all agree on everything? Every group here is a hive mind, more so for others...
Did you read the definition you posted? It does not say what you just said.
@SCal explain please...
First, that was a great retort on your part. But it was two definitions mixed into one.
"regarded as producing ... uncritical conformity."
There are like two or three of us who typically go against the grain.
You do mostly all agree on almost everything.
@SCal yes, it has "two" definitions as you pointed out.. I posted that definition in its entirety..
"comparable to a single mind controlling the behavior of an individual organism."
What single mind controls the thoughts of a community of free thinkers?
And thanks for the compliment.
Im thinking them thoughts not so free.
@SCal English is such a crappy language :
So, a guy using the name "Sarong" is some sort of authority? I've seen this goof before and have been embarrassed for some local Wisconsin freethinking types who felt a need to engage in "debate" with him.
I have lost track of the hydroxychloroquine efficacy debates. It is disturbing that one group was found to have applied poor technique in their studies which had determined that hydroxy was ineffective and dangerous. But it was clear that some of the early studies were not valid. I think we still need data.
The use of macrolides such as azithromycin is often used in respiratory illness to prevent exacerbation of effects of the infection. Doesn't seem far fetched to think it does the same in covid. Not a cure, but a standard treatment for lower respiratory infections.
Want to know REAL Covid censorship - how about states not getting medical info and forced to deal directly with the tRump admin to squash death numbers. 165k And counting. The U.S. is 4% of the world population and has 25% of the deaths; how is that, in any brain, a good response?
Instead of distributing our stockpile of PPE to the states like it was stockpiled for, the feds actually sold it to private companies who sold it to the states at a profit. So we paid for it twice and there still isn't enough because the companies the feds paid to produce it never came through. So we actually paid for a shortage of PPE three times.
No plan, insufficient PPE, no vaccine, >150,000 and counting dead. Worst government malfeasance in American history.
Tds. Dsm,djt ?? Wtf
Tds. Trump derangement syndrome
Dsm, diagnostic and statistical Manual
djt ?? Donald j. Trump
Wtf. What the fuck
@Cutiebeauty Thanks. I know what the last one means
TDS is not defined by the DSM and is therefore a fake not a legitimate mental illness. It's the inaction of DJT that has caused tens of thousands of American deaths.
"America's Frontline Doctors" have been discredited:
All I needed to see in the article was the b's is backed by breitbart and Dr oz. Enough said. Oh and tnxs for saving me the energy of looking.
This is the first I’ve heard of the idw community. It looks like it was created by the same person who created agnostic. Is that the case?
Looks suspicious to me... @cs10 ?
It's part of the "dark web" for a reason.
@OwlInASack but why copy our format here?
@Cutiebeauty . . . guessing, it's Open Source ?
@FearlessFly facts please, no guessing... Lol
I thought atheists agnostics didn't believe in fairy tales? Hmmm
Atheists Agnostics do not believe in god(s) ... they can believe in any and every thing else including fairy tales.
@jlynn37 Gods are fairy tales...
