  • New York Attorney General Letisha James announces settlement to dissolve Zionist organization Betar in New York

    Jump

  • Under the agreement announced today, Betar is permanently barred from instigating or encouraging violence, physically assaulting or threatening individuals, harassing protesters, or damaging others’ property based on protected characteristics.

    Implying that prior to the agreement, encouraging violence, physical assault, and property damage were all fine and they just took it too far?

    Yeah, like project management for an AI-enabled tech startup

  • Hey, I did what you asked me to do. If you had a specific point to make you were welcome to do so.

  • Sidis's politics led to his participation in Boston's socialist May Day demonstration on May 1, 1919. The event, organized by socialist and anarchist groups, was intended as a peaceful protest against the Red Scare persecutions and in support of workers' rights.

    Seems like he was a pretty cool dude.

  • He might be, we don't know either way. Jumping immediately to the conclusion that he must be socially stunted just because he's doing an advanced degree at a young age smells like anti-intellectualism.

  • No amout of "genius" changes that.

    How could it not? You can't seriously expect that a kid who's capable of completing PhD-level research as a teenager is following the same cognitive and social development model as his peers. What's the advantage of putting him in a situation where he doesn't have sufficient cognitive outlets and force him to interact with people who most likely don't share his interests? It's a recipe for social isolation.

  • Europe then and now

    Jump

  • That assumes that the other party is also interested in navigation; some people are - and I'm sure you've reached this conclusion in your own experiences - just not worth the time and effort it takes to engage with. As it is all we can do is guess on the state of this kid's social life because the article doesn't talk about it. He could also have friends his own age; going through a PhD program would make it harder, but it's not like has to worry about feeding himself, taking care of his living situation, and paying off student loans like most PhD students.

  • Not saying he shouldn't get diversity of social experiences but the idea that a bunch of mutual misunderstandings with kids his own age is somehow going to result in better development doesn't really track, either.

  • Europe then and now

    Jump

  • no interest in socializing the child with humans their own age

    If he's genuinely that intelligent, socializing him with humans his own age will just get him bullied or result in the other kids feeling inferior. He deserves to be able to engage with people who are on his level.

  • Right after the defense, he returned to Munich to start a second doctorate in medical science with artificial intelligence.

    Good news!

  • He says the degree is a means to a larger goal: building longer, healthier lives by enhancing human biology.

    Simons research focuses on Bose polarons, mobile impurities dressed by surrounding particles, in superfluids and supersolids.

    Maybe it's because I'm not a genius child prodigy but I'm not seeing the connection between these two ideas.

    Also, I had to stop reading that article midway through because it's an incoherent jumble of sentences that reads like a game of journalistic beautiful corpse.

  • Authoritarian vs Libertarian [cw: George Orwell, sex pest-ery]

  • I don't even see anything that's not related to George Orwell using the search terms I'm comfortable employing without feeling like I'm going to end up on some sort of list.

  • We could cut global emissions in half if we simply eat the rich.
