Honestly, as a German it is revulsing to see how our government let’s our people suffer to please the US. But since there is basically no alternative, even under different ruling parties we can’t do anything about it anyways. If the situation gets worse though, people will start protesting and maybe then we can achieve something.

Berlin is prettier than US suburbs tho

I think the important part about experiments is that you control the input variables and measure the output. This is of course the ideal experiment and in the real world you can never account for all input variables. But if the scientist knows how much lead has been ingested this is a controlled variable and therefore even if the scientist did not “feed” the subjects lead as long as they know how much has been ingested it should be considered an experiment.

Of course social experiments are also possible in that sense. Consider the impact of the pandemic for example. We have now obtained data on the way such disruptions influence different economic and political structures. Since we can analyze the virus and the different economic and political structures we can consider the input variables to be (largely) controlled. Thus we need not engineer a virus and spread it to acquire valuable data that can help us when we encounter future catastrophes of a similar kind. Of course this should not imply that the impact of Covid was positive, but rather that we can transform situations that arise into experiments that we can learn from through measurement.

That seems like a public opinion poll in France. So what I can see from this chart has nothing to do with how many divisions they faced. Perhaps you have another source for that, but it’s not clear how that could be inferred from this picture alone.

I don’t fully agree with your example, since an alternate and totally plausible hypothesis would be that in reality they both ingested the same amount of lead and thus have the same symptoms but the child body is just slower at getting rid of lead. This would make it appear as if adults are more tolerant to lead even though both patients were actually exposed to the same amount. It still illustrates the point that not all knowledge as to come from experiments and data collection in the real world can also lead to insights, but I think what my point shows is that experiments still can’t be (easily) replaced. With an in-vitro experiment you could test whether child neurons react differently to lead compared to adult neurons and with that information make an educated guess under the (questionable) assumption that in vitro translates to in vivo. This often holds true but not always. But it is definitely better than being left with the uncertainty that mere data collection results in.

Behold, th great Twitter anarchist has “allowed” the US military to intervene!

This is hilarious, why should a union ever deliberately make it hard for people to join them? It’s in their best interest to include as many workers as possible so they can put pressure on the bourgeoisie.

At least the comment section is sorta decent.

The creator as well.

"People who start with quotation marks but never close them seriously piss me off.

What’s the source? I wanna read further into that to see what other misconceptions I might still have.

“Hungry people are the most productive people”

imagine education system

Something that seems paradoxical to me is how people always talk about “losing workplaces” like that’s a bad thing. If the entire amount of work can be done by less people that is certainly positive for me. In capitalism ofc this doesn’t work but that only further proves the intrinsic paradox that capitalism is.

I don’t think they deliberately attempt to test in an unfair way to prove humans are more intelligent. Rather, it’s just extremely hard, if not outright impossible to test for intelligence so different and unfamiliar.

YES, it happens so often that I try to explain something by reasoning that there would have been absolutely no reason for a head of state to do something (for example China oppressing uyghurs when they clearly exempt them from their population control policies) and then they respond: “MaYbE tHeY aRe JuSt DiCkHeAdS”

Thank you for taking the time to edit it anyways, there is no way I could be bothered to do that xD

There is this report.

It was posted on r/GenZedong and has been archived on lemmy in a masterpost of sources mostly on Xinjiang I think.
