reSee.it AI Summary
In discussing artificial intelligence, I realize that the true brilliance of AI lies not in its algorithms or models, but in the vast reservoir of human knowledge it processes. Like a financial market shaped by countless interactions, AI's intelligence derives from centuries of intellectual exchange. It doesn't generate new ideas; it remixes existing ones. If we restrict this intellectual marketplace, AI's usefulness will diminish. We must recognize that AI is a reflection of human thought, and if we neglect the foundations of that knowledge, we risk losing its power.

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

AI’s Greatest Secret: It’s the Free Marketplace of Ideas That Made It Smart In discussions of artificial intelligence, much attention is given to the power of predictive models, their efficiency, and the algorithms that drive them. People debate which AI models are “smarter,” which perform better, and which techniques yield the most powerful results. Yet, these conversations often overlook a deeper reality: the intelligence of AI is not found in its computational methods but in the vast body of human knowledge it has absorbed. The real genius behind AI is not the machine itself, but the centuries of intellectual free exchange that made its intelligence possible. Consider a financial market where traders collectively shape the price of an asset. The price at any given moment is not the product of one trader’s insight but of countless interactions, competing pressures, and decentralized decision-making. Now, imagine a series of algorithms that attempt to predict future price movements. Some of these algorithms will be better than others. Some will find deeper patterns, use more sophisticated models, or adjust more dynamically to changes. But all of them—whether simple or complex—are only as good as the market they analyze. Their intelligence is derivative of the decentralized intelligence encoded in the market itself. This is precisely the situation with AI. Large language models and predictive systems do not generate wisdom from scratch. They process and reorganize the accumulated output of human thought. Every book, article, forum discussion, and research paper these models ingest is a reflection of centuries of debate, refinement, and intellectual evolution. The intelligence we attribute to AI is, in reality, an emergent property of the open marketplace of ideas—the same process that has allowed science, philosophy, and literature to progress over millennia. Yet, despite this reality, much of the discourse around AI treats its intelligence as if it originates from within the machine itself. We speak of AI “learning” or “thinking,” but these words mislead. AI does not think; it remixes. It does not generate new ideas; it reconfigures past ones in ways that are often compelling but fundamentally derivative. Its brilliance—such as it is—comes not from the neural network’s architecture but from the depth and breadth of the human knowledge it is trained on. This realization leads to an unsettling truth: if the underlying intellectual marketplace that AI draws from is damaged, the intelligence of AI will decline along with it. If free expression is restricted—if the vast, messy, often controversial conversations that shape human knowledge are curtailed—then AI will become less useful, not more. Just as a financial market cannot produce good price signals without open competition, an AI trained on a censored or ideologically constrained dataset will be a weaker, narrower, and more brittle version of itself. This raises an existential question not just for AI, but for human civilization. If we continue to believe that intelligence is generated by AI rather than distilled from human intellectual history, we risk taking for granted the real source of its power. AI is not an independent mind. It is a mirror—one that reflects back the collective insights of human thought, refined through centuries of open discourse. If we allow the mechanisms that generated that knowledge to atrophy, no amount of computational efficiency will save us. The intelligence behind intelligence will have been lost.

There is ongoing debate about the effectiveness of quarantines and lockdowns. Some argue that they do not work and that public health leaders should review the empirical facts instead of relying on ethics and models. Studies have been cited to support this viewpoint. However, others argue that quarantine has historically been praised and is still taught as an effective measure in public health. The opposition to quarantine by historical figures like Charles Maclean and Edwin Chadwick has been largely ignored in the literature. Quarantine remains the default remedy in public health today.

Hi all, I'm delighted to share this working paper published recently on the IZA website. Among other things, it covers some of the material in relation to quarantine that I chanced upon during my ongoing review of public health. Please consider downloading and sharing the paper. https://www.iza.org/publications/dp/17100/the-failed-history-of-quarantines-and-its-implications-for-public-health - comments and feedback always appreciated. I'm deeply grateful to @FrijtersPaul for bringing the paper together, and to co-authors: Gigi Foster, @DrJBhattacharya and Ari Joffe, for their critical comments that helped polish and improve the crude raw material that I had assembled. Hopefully, public health leaders across the world will find time to review the true empirical facts in relation to quarantine, instead of depending almost entirely on ethics, models and the precautionary principle.

Long thread of studies showing lockdowns don’t work

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

🚨 BREAKING: Another study finds no benefits from lockdowns 🚨 “Stringency of the measures settled to fight pandemia, including lockdown, did not appear to be linked with death rate.“ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.604339/full

Covid-19 Mortality: A Matter of Vulnerability Among Nations Facing Limited Margins of Adaptation Context The human development territories have been severely constrained under the Covid-19 pandemic. A common dynamics has been observed, but its propagation has not been homogeneous over each continent. We aimed at characterizing the non-viral parameters that were most associated with death rate. Methods We tested major indices from five domains (demography, public health, economy, politics, environment) and their potential associations with Covid-19 mortality during the first 8 months of 2020, through a Principal Component Analysis and a correlation matrix with a Pearson correlation test. Data of all countries, or states in federal countries, showing at least ten fatality cases, were retrieved from official public sites. For countries that have not yet finished the first epidemic phase, a prospective model has been computed to provide options of death rates evolution. Results Higher Covid death rates are observed in the [25/65°] latitude and in the [-35/-125°] longitude ranges. The national criteria most associated with death rate are life expectancy and its slowdown, public health context (metabolic and non-communicable diseases (NCD) burden vs infectious diseases prevalence), economy (growth national product, financial support), and environment (temperature, ultra-violet index). Stringency of the measures settled to fight pandemia, including lockdown, did not appear to be linked with death rate. Conclusion Countries that already experienced a stagnation or regression of life expectancy, with high income and NCD rates, had the highest price to pay. This burden was not alleviated by more stringent public decisions. Inherent factors have predetermined the Covid-19 mortality: understanding them may improve prevention strategies by increasing population resilience through better physical fitness and immunity. frontiersin.org

Lockdowns were never common sense

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

Lockdowns were NOT common sense measures. They were hysterical reactions out of fear. Here are 15 of just some of the reasons why it was not common sense. (I’m not including all the reasons we have NOW to see they were a bad idea.)

@sabhlok - Sanjeev Sabhlok

Mark, a correction: All PH textbooks and historical accounts by communist doctors (almost all PH historians are lifelong communists) glorify quarantine. There is no textbook of PH which doesn't provide a positive comment on quarantine. Plus, there are tens if not hundreds of epidemiologcal models in support of quarantine. If you ask any public health graduate today, they will assure you that quarantine is very effective. Those like @sdbaral who said there is no lockdown chapter in public health, were incorrect. The literature ONLY teaches quarantine/lockdown. Thus, the claim frequently made even today by the anti-lockdown community that it was "known" before 2020 that quarantine doesn't work is FALSE. The reality is completely the opposite. But yes, this WAS known 200 years ago. This paper revives the huge empirical work of Charles Maclean who provided vast evidence, 200+ years ago, that quarantine never works and causes great harm. The founding Sanitarians like Edwin Chadwick vigorously opposed quarantine. But the global quarantine establishment (which now includes WHO) completely blacked out that information due to its self-interest. Till today, Maclean is not mentioned in the literature, Chadwick's opposition to quarantine is never mentioned, and if Maclean is ever mentioned, his work is slandered and he is effectively destroyed/ cancelled. In other words, quarantine remains the DEFAULT "remedy" in public health today. Lockdowns (a form of quarantine) are the rule, not the exception. And they will continue to be imposed since the PH literature has completely blacked out Charles Maclean and the Sanitarians who vigorously opposed quarantine.

Media irresponsibly compared the flu and COVID-19 using different fatality rates. The infection fatality rate (IFR) is lower than the case fatality rate (CFR), which is usually used for hospitalized patients. Confusion between CFR and IFR contributed to the original case for lockdowns. Social contagion through social networks may be more dangerous than biological contagion. The newest IFR measures show varying rates across age groups.

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

One example of the irresponsibility of media, this Business Insider article on March 4, comparing flu and COVID19. Corona19 looks apocalyptic!!! Except... They used the INFECTION fatality rate (IFR) for flu, and the CASE fatality rate (CFR) for C19 ! https://businessinsider.com/coronavirus-compared-to-flu-mortality-rates-2020-3?amp…

Coronavirus compared to flu: shared symptoms, different death rates "COVID-19 causes more severe disease than seasonal influenza," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO director-general, said on Tuesday. businessinsider.com

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

IFR is percentage of infected who die. CFR is percentage of tested-positives who dies. And, usually for CFR the tested-positives are already in the hospital because they're VERY sick. (Especially in February.) IFR usually is two or more orders of magnitude lower than CFR.

Speaker 0: Doctor Marc Changizi here with your ScienceWANT. For those latecomer anti lockdown leaders who push the interventions at the start of COVID and often for months or in some cases, even years, we would love to hear something like this from you. I fell into exactly the sort of group think that I had always thought I was immune to. I never considered a serious cost benefit analysis because I bought into the narrative that COVID was effectively infinite in cost. So nothing else mattered relative to that. I immediately compromised on my classical liberal stance that civil liberties are inviolable, treating them instead as just another of the many utilities to be balanced, which is a category error and a gross misunderstanding of what civil liberties are. I am sorry. I am, however, the wiser through having failed what amounts to a litmus test. The moral for me is that if I fell into such an authoritarian mindset despite consciously trying hard to be a scientifically minded classical liberal, then society at large really is deeply and dangerously susceptible to these moral contagions and mass hysterias, we must be ever on guard against them. We must work to ensure that the failure that is the great COVID debacle is understood. We need to hold culpable the public policy experts, politicians, intellectuals, WHO, and the rest that implemented these evil policies. Civil liberties must be enshrined as sacred and not fragile to emergency decrees. And we cannot forget that I myself am also among the culpable. I, along with 1,000,000,000 of others, whipped up bad information about the dangers, pushed hard for the interventions, justified violating civil liberties and berated those not holding my views. But I am more culpable than most of the 1,000,000,000. One's culpability is greater. The greater one's voice and reach, the longer and more confidently one pushed for it, and the more one had a formal responsibility for leadership. And another moral is that the fact that I had good intentions doesn't matter. What matters is holding the principles that are good. As it turns out, I did not. That is what the great COVID debacle taught us. And through what I have learned about my own weaknesses, I believe I can lead us and ensuring we don't see anything of this kind again.

The SCIMO civil liberties thread. 1/ The third pillar of civil liberties is your brain. Moment 57, Dec 11, 2020

Video Transcript AI Summary
In this Science Moment, Dr. Marc Changizi discusses the importance of user experience (UX) and human-computer interaction (HCI) in shaping society. He explains that UX and HCI are fundamental fields that have evolved through cultural and natural processes to fit our human minds. Dr. Changizi argues that civil liberties and individual rights are crucial in the face of government interventions, such as during the current coronavirus pandemic. He emphasizes that any grand scheme must be consistent with civil rights and human nature, as people naturally desire freedom and autonomy. Overall, UX and HCI play a significant role in designing a society that aligns with our innate human nature.

Speaker 0: Doctor. Marc Changizi here with your Science Moment. Today, I'm gonna talk about user experience and civil liberties, which seem to have nothing to do with one another. But let me start off with user experience and HCI. H is HCI is human computer interaction, human machine interfaces. These are the most boring fields in the world far as I was concerned when I was young, especially human computer interaction, which was sort of, closer to me. And it's about how to set up software so that it jibes most well with the humans that are using them. And it really did sound secondary or tertiary and not worth doing, but my view on that has changed radically over time. Now I would describe user experience, user design, HCI, these sorts of fields as, in fact, fundamental. In fact, much of the HCI and and user experience that's done wasn't on purpose per se. It's happened by virtue of cultural evolution, which has shaped much of the structures of society and the artifacts around us to fit our in minds. So for example, I've argued in, earlier book Vision Revolution that the reason that we can even read in the first place is because letters have shaped themselves to look like the structures and natural scenes that we've already evolved. We have visual recognition systems that are that are brilliantly designed to recognize those things. Otherwise, we couldn't read at all. The only reason that we can have speech and recognize speech is because speech, as I've argued and harnessed, speech has culturally evolved over longer periods of time to sound like the solid object events around you. And much of the kinds design that's in the structure of culture around you. It's in fact designed to mesh with our peculiar mind in the way that it evolved. And so it pulls out these natural brilliant instincts that were for one thing, and twists it just a little bit so that it fits these new things in the world. But these new things in the world, and that's key, and actually have done all the twisting. They've twisted themselves into the shape that harnesses our human mind. And then this book, Human 3.0, is really all about that story about how we became human 2.0's today by virtue of these mechanisms. These are UX mechanisms. And then human 3.0's about where we're going x as a species. Well, how does these UX things connect to individual liberties and civil rights? Well, there's 3 different kinds of arguments, among many, for why you would have civil rights as fundamental constraints on government. And especially today with the coronavirus and the fear and hysteria surrounding it, much of the world seems to be happy to reshape society for their grand scheme at saving us all. But the problem with that is that if you have a grand scheme for saving Everybody, you better it better be consistent with civil rights and individual liberties. Why? Well, the first reason and it's just because it is a fundamental right. The government, the state doesn't have a right to use us as ends for themselves. A second is something I talked about just a couple moments ago in, moment number 55, and that's that culture and society is filled and steeped with a lot of design that we don't know, we haven't even identified it, much less unpacked what it is. You start messing with parts of the society with your grand scheme, and you're going to completely mess things up, and the second part of that was that society is filled with self organizing mechanisms that nobody is in a position to control or I have knowledge about, and we don't understand that. So your grand scheme is probably not gonna work. It's probably ridiculously stupid. And even, and this gets to number 3, and why UX comes into this, user design. The third, even if you have this great idea that could actually work if people would just do what you suggested that they do. The problem is that people won't do what you suggest they do if it's not consistent with in nature, and their human nature wants to have freedom. Their human nature is not going to act like you wanted to. They wanna be free. They wanna make their own decisions. They wanna socialize with others. They wanna have their faces free to communicate and socially, emotionally, Express one another to one so all of these things have to happen for humans to feel free. If your grand scheme is inconsistent with that, it's not going to work. These are the so this third fundamental pillar for why we have civil liberties is based on user experience, user design, the offshoots of human and computer interaction. These are about how to fit a society around the humans that are actually in them. And to do that, society needs to harness our natural human nature, and that human nature wants to be free. That was your science moment.

Why are hospital and ICU resources going to them? Morons. Speaker 0: You'll not get the shot. Vaccinated clowns. Idiots who think that they can do their own research. Speaker 3: Don't do any of your own research. Speaker 1: Doing your own research is associated with conspiracy theory safe. Speaker 0: This go it alone approach doing your own research that can have serious consequences. You should get prison time for even questioning the vaccines. Can we all stop saying, I need to do my own research? That phrase, do your own research, 4 words, 4 little words that are hurting America. Doing your own research hurts America. Everybody has a supercomputer in their hand that empowers them to do their own research, and that's the problem. You must not do your own research. There. I need to do my own research. I don't have never understand what that means. I'm doing my own research. Speaker 1: You can't do your own research unless you're a scientist. Safe. Come do your own research. Speaker 2: Maybe you've told yourself you're planning it safe. You just wanna wait and see since this is a new vaccine. Now. Speaker 1: Blow the up and get the vaccine. Speaker 0: Unvaccinated people spread the virus. It's a vaccine, you dopes. Don't be a Get yourself vaccinated. That's just all there is pooped. There's no excuse. No excuse for being unvaccinated. There's no rational and no emotional argument that adds up against getting your damn shot. There's a there's a Speaker 1: But you made a conscious decision not to get the vaccine. I also have natural immunity. So for me, personally, safe. This vaccine poses a greater risk than a benefit. I'm also not a risk to any of you. Let's look at the science. Speaker 0: So we see that the natural infection is given greater protection or slightly greater protection done vaccination. Speaker 1: This is a vaccine that was created to prevent severity of disease and to prevent hospitalizations, but the Steam does not prevent you from getting COVID and does not prevent you from transmitting Oh, my goodness. Reality out. We have seen that stuff. Come on. No. It'll go to Fox safe till everyone's safe. No one is Speaker 0: safe. Safe. When we've poked at, we'll be new. You're gonna be safe from the COVID infected you. Safe. Speaker 2: The virus stopped with every vaccinated person. Speaker 0: Do it so you stop spreading a terrible disease. And that seen. Our key goal is to stop the transmission so that you get almost no almost no, infection going on whatsoever. Expectation for vaccines seems as not to get infected. Speaker 2: A vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus. The virus does not infect them. Speaker 0: When the virus gets to you, you stop stopping. You're not gonna catch it. You're not gonna get sick. You're not gonna transmit it. The vaccine is absolutely bulletproof. Speaker 1: Vaccines block you from getting and giving the virus. 100% effective in preventing COVID. Speaker 0: The vaccine prevents you from getting infected. Speaker 1: It is Speaker 2: to keep you from getting it and then spreading it. Speaker 1: We safe. Have the ability to stop COVID in its tracks. Speaker 0: You're not gonna get COVID if you have these vaccinations. Quaidant tests positive for COVID nineteen. When people are vaccinated, they can feel safe that they are not gonna get infected. Doctor Fauci tests positive for COVID nineteen. Speaker 1: Vaccinated people do not carrying the virus, don't get sick. Speaker 0: CDC director tests positive for COVID nineteen. Seeing. Pfizer CEO test positive for COVID. Pfizer CEO test positive for COVID again. CDC director safe. Test positive for COVID again. Fauci test positive for COVID again. Joe Biden test positive for COVID again. Speaker 1: Cases up 258%, safe. The majority of these cases are among the vaccinated, and this area is the most vaccinated part of Massachusetts. Speaker 0: So many fully vaccinated. People are testing positive. Speaker 1: So people here are a bit angry. Speaker 0: We are all really concerned about what this means long term. I was vaccinated, and I got COVID. Safe. Almost everyone we know with vaccinations had at least 1 bout of it. Our vaccines work better, then we could have possibly hoped they would work. Speaker 1: We are not the problem. The problem are the unvaccinated. Speaker 0: The unvaccinated threat. Unvaccinated people are a threat, a direct threat, a threat to all of us. Getting a risk to all of us. Speaker 1: People have a right to be protected from the unvaccinated. Speaker 0: Maybe there should be laws that allow them to be kept out of the building. So at least, thankfully, they're not breathing same error. Their freedom to breathe will diminish. Start firing the unvaccinated. If Speaker 2: you don't vaccinate, you'll be fired. Speaker 0: Time to come down on the unvaccinated. They should be banned from the VA, banned from restaurants, banned from other businesses and colleges. Companies should not treat us as equal. Sedating people under arrest. It Speaker 2: is the unvaccinated that has put America in the place that it is. Speaker 0: We are losing freedom because people are unvaccinated. Forced to unvaccinated. I'm curious that the unvaccinated. Frustrated with Americans. Still not vaccinated. Not to be vaccinated. Seems criminal. Suspects faced. Years behind bars for coughing on police officers. Freedom. For them. Charged with terrorist threats. You have no individual rights when it comes to the vaccine. Speaker 1: Really, you're killing other people. Speaker 0: You're being attacked by unvaccinated. Unvaccinated who aren't wearing masks. It's the unvaccinated who aren't social distancing. It's the unvaccinated going to crowded indoor events. It is not your right as an American citizen to catch and transmit a potentially fatal infection. Don't screw you, Freedom. We can coerce you. Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to travel severe. If someone in your family isn't vaccinated, should you ask them not to show up? Speaker 0: Yes. You really shouldn't have anyone unvaccinated come to dinner. That's just a huge risk. Speaker 1: If you wanna Come out into public. If you wanna live your life, you need to get the vaccination. Speaker 0: It's time for people to see vaccination as literally necessary. You should have To show that you're vaccinated in order to go places. Unvaccinated. Can't travel to the US. Speaker 1: If you're not vaccinated, you're not welcome. Speaker 0: Our patience is wearing thin. Why hasn't the president focused more on taking the Unvaccinated. Refusal has caused all of us. Speaker 2: Continued damage the unvaccinated are doing to themselves and the country. Speaker 0: How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world class tennis players are not. Speaker 1: You know Speaker 0: And, back to our lead story, the pandemic of the unvaccinated. Fact is this is a pandemic Speaker 2: of the unvaccinated experts. Call it pandemic of the unvaccinated. Speaker 0: It's still a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The disease of the unvaccinated. Speaker 2: It is the unvaccinated who are the problem. Period. End of story. Speaker 0: The unvaccinated also put our economy at risk. This is a tyranny of the unvaccinated right now. The unvaccinated, not the vaccinated. Unvaccinated. That's the problem. That's the pandemic. The unvaccinated. Pandemic of the unvaccinated. All this is a pandemic of the safe. The only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated pandemic because the unvaccinated. Speaker 1: When you get the vaccine, you will not die. That's right. That's right. Speaker 0: It's a simple, basic proposition. If you're vaccinated, you are not gonna die. If you're vaccinated, you don't have a risk. It's as simple as black and white. Speaker 1: You are not going to die if you are vaccinated. That's it. Full stop. Speaker 0: You're unvaccinated, you're at risk. You're vaccinated. You're safe. A majority of Americans dying from coronavirus are vaccinated. COVID nineteen isn't the pandemic of the unvaccinated anymore. We didn't really understand the fatality rate. You know, we didn't understand that it's A fairly low fatality rate and that it's a disease mainly of the elderly, kind of like flu is, although a bit different. We We have 2 Americas, an unvaccinated at risk America and a vaccinated America. Speaker 1: I wear my vaccinated necklace all the time to Say I'm vaccinated. Speaker 2: You, the vaccinated, are the last best hope to overcome the unvaccinated minority. Speaker 1: I need you to be my apostle. I need you to go out And talked Speaker 2: about it. We are seeking to enlist you in a benevolent conspiracy to join in the unfinished war against the sins of the unvaccinated. Native. And it's a war forever war. The war against COVID nineteen. Speaker 3: The vaccine hesitancy on Earth 2 has the potential to compromise all of the hard fought progress that we've made here on earth one. Speaker 0: This is the greatest threat to life that we have ever faced. Speaker 1: Metropolitan areas are now banning all private gatherings. This bar owner arrested for reopening illegally. Speaker 0: Unvaccinated. We are looking at a woman of severe illness and death. Death. For yourselves, your families. If the unvaccinated are not to blame, who is? If only we had a vaccine against is. So part of preparing for hurricane season is to get vaccinated now. Everything is more complicated if you're not vaccinated in a hurricane.

Four recent Moments on civil liberties, which must be fought for more than ever.

Video Transcript AI Summary
In this Science Moments video, Dr. Mark Genghis discusses the topic of emergencies and civil liberties. He emphasizes that emergencies should not be used as a justification for violating civil liberties. Dr. Genghis points out that COVID-19 was perceived as an emergency, but it was not a real emergency for the majority of people. He warns against the possibility of fake emergencies being created by the government. Additionally, he mentions that there are always real emergencies happening around the world, such as extreme poverty and health issues, which could potentially justify violating civil liberties. Dr. Genghis concludes by stating that if emergencies constantly justified violating civil liberties, then civil liberties would cease to exist.

Speaker 0: Doctor. Mark Genghis here at the Science Moments. Today I am going to talk about emergencies and how you know I talked many times about how emergencies don't justify violating civil liberties. Civil liberties are for, they are especially for when there is perceived emergency. I wanted to just mention this in a different kind of way today. Now people often say, look, if you start violating civil liberties en masse whenever there are emergencies. Well, the state is just gonna start coming up with full emergencies. Right? They will just concoct emergencies. They will create fake emergencies. Now of course that's true, they certainly might, but you don't even need to assume that. The first thing notice is that there was no real emergency for COVID. COVID was mild for almost everybody except for those who had multiple comorbidities and were 70 and beyond, end. This was a perceived emergency. It wasn't a real emergency. And so we are always susceptible to these use perceived emergencies that aren't in fact real. And then we avalanche over to 1 and then that gets snuffed out somehow and then we avalanche to the next and we are stampeding come from 1 perceived emergency unit to another. And in those situations, they are just perceived emergencies that are not even real. So the first case is well, the government fakes 1 and then we have permit fake swan and then we have sort of perceived emergency that aren't real. But the 3rd point that I wanted to make was that even if you can stop the the fake emergency leave that the state might be motivated to come up with. And even if you were to, sort of squel hold these perceived emergencies due to sort of mass hysteria where, you know, stampeding one way or another. Well, there's always real emergencies. At any given time there are loads and loads of emergencies. There are loads of parts of the world where there is extreme poverty in your own country. Extreme poverty, extreme health issues, extreme situations where if we could all or state could violate those people's rights, they could help those other people. And it is an emergency. Metaphorically, at all times, there's buy people who could use and live if they had 5 of my healthy organs. And that's true for all of us. Metaphorically. This is always the case. There are always real emergencies that can always pull be pull out and truthfully brought out and say, hey. These emergencies require violating these people's civil liberties. If it's always a balance of liberty versus safety and versus all these other things, and and these have emergencies to justify these violations. Well, you don't need the government to take them. You don't need mass hysteria to misperceive leave an emergency. There's always emergencies floating about, which means that if emergency is justified violating civil liberties, we wouldn't have civil liberties. And that was your science moment. If you haven't gotten a copy of doctor Tim Barber and my book, Expressly Human, get it from, bookstores near you.
Video Transcript AI Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of civil liberties and free speech. They argue that civil liberties and free speech are only truly valuable when they involve actions or speech that you disagree with or find unethical. The speaker compares the need to balance civil liberties during emergencies to the need to protect free speech that may be offensive or harmful. They emphasize that emergencies should not be used as a justification to violate civil liberties, as doing so can create a harmful cycle and undermine the very essence of civil liberties. The speaker also mentions that governments may be motivated to create emergencies, but even without intentional manipulation, emergencies are a constant presence in society.

Speaker 0: Doctor. Martangizzi here with your science. Today, I was going to talk about civil liberties and, comparison with argument that, look, civil liberties are great. I'm totally into civil liberties. But if there's an emergency, well, then we have to balance civil liberties with all of the things that are at stake with these grave emergencies, and government must respond. Now so I wanted to there's an analogous situation on the free speech side. And of course, we don't have hardly enough people that actually free speech. But at least there's an intuition. There's a kind of argument on the free speech side that most people find fairly convincing. And it's that free speech only matters for speech you don't like. Right? Free speech isn't about, defending all the speech that you like, it's about when there's suddenly speech that violates your sensibilities that you feel like is increasing the harm in the world, is making the world a worse eclase is unethical or prescribing unethical behavior or things that's going to be wrong in some way or it's just misinformation and you think this is just false, that's when free expression and free speech matters because it's only then that people's sensorial, you know, instincts come out. Right? Free speech is all about speech you don't like, speech that you think is misinformation or unethical. Now when we move to the analogous case on just the freedom side, not about free expression, it's the same thing, right? This argument about civil liberties are totally the most important thing unless there's an emergency. No, it's the same point. Civil liberties are only important when they concern the behaviors, the actions of people doing things, that you don't like. Right? Civil liberties only are about the things that people are doing that you don't like them to do. Whenever when things are normal, when there's not much else going on, there's no emergency, mostly for the most part, people are just moving around the world, not doing anything that bothers you. But when there's an emergency, suddenly some significant fraction of the population is violating these new righteous notions of the good about what a good, righteous person should do. And in those circumstances, suddenly you have an opinion about what everybody is doing, right, if you're part of that righteous community and you don't like what they're doing. And you said, well, now civil liberties need to be balanced. No. Civil liberties, just like free speech, are for the behaviors or the speech of those that you oppose. That's the entire point of civil liberties and the entire point of free speech, which is just civil liberties for speech, right? That's just a special case. It's just a special case of civil liberties more generally. That same intuition that you ought to understand for free expression is right there all along for civil liberties. Emergencies do not justify violating civil liberties because civil liberties are especially for the moments when there are emergencies and suddenly you have strong opinions about all the bad things all of these evil, unclean people are doing. Ex so that was your science moment. There's 4 or 5 other science moments that get at these arguments for why emergencies do not justify violating civil liberties. One, civil liberties are for the emergencies. I've touched on this before, but today, I'm focusing on this analogy with the free expression side. Civil liberties violating them creates emergencies. The greatest emergencies that we ever have for societies are when nations, when governments violate civil liberties and math. And then it creates a positive feedback loop. Right? Oh, there's an emergency. Let's do civil liberties violations, which invariably mess things up and cause emergencies, which Ixify more civil liberties violations and so on and so on. And finally, in addition to, of course, the state being potentially, you know, in in motivated or incentivized to come up with emergencies, you know, full emergencies, they don't even need to do that because there are always emergencies. There are always folks who need your organs more than you do, right, 4 folks who will only survive, metaphorically, with your healthy organs, there are always emergencies in societies. If civil liberties, can be wiped away by virtue of emergencies. You don't have civil liberties. Right? That was your

They mention that one reason is their lifelong opposition to socialism and communism, as COVID interventions exemplify the failure of centralized control. The speaker argues that the measures taken during the pandemic were irrational and not wise utilitarian planning. They highlight the lack of consideration for civil liberties and the negative consequences of centralized control. The speaker believes that the failure of centralized control during the pandemic should serve as a reminder for future generations.

Speaker 0: Doctor. Mark here at your Science Moments. Today, I'm going to talk about one of the reasons why, I and a lot of us are wanting to not let the COVID authoritarianism, the interventions, lockdowns, masks drop. We don't want to drop it. And there's another reason that it occurred to me that is motivating me and it's sort of been in my mind, but I'm not sure if it quite crystallized. It's not merely identifying the factors that led to it, which is, of course, a big part of what I'm interested in understanding emergent phenomena, these kinds of mass collective hysteria because these are the kinds of things that will always be with us and are our greatest dangers. But another reason why is I spent my life, my generation is often from the '80s arguing against socialism and communism. And that was the typical left right argument, which is really was concerning centralized government versus decentralized free markets. And that often was and it's similar again, in terms of COVID. And really one reason why I don't want to drop or that another reason why I don't want the COVID interventions to be dropped is because they're a brilliant example of how centralization failed us. Here we had people, their whole lives, they've been pushing for socialism, for centralized control. They always claim to be better than us and knowing how to spend your money. They have an attitude that we're smart, we're educated, we can do better and it's not fair and you're selfish and greedy to believe in the free market and capital K, capitalism or whatever they want to say about it, right? That's the attitude that they've had. So there are 2 kinds of authoritarianism that occurred during COVID. 1 was rapid mass hysteria induced, we have to do something righteous measures, which were utterly irrational. And one could say, if you were imagine you were one of these centralized people, so I recognize that, that went out of control. That was not wise utilitarian centralized planning at all. But many of those plans, many of those policies were in fact guided ahead of time like events go and hundreds of these sorts of things, these kinds of public policy institutes are constantly meeting and organizing, figuring out what should we do, which civil liberties violating measures should we do were there to be this that would happen? If this would have happened, then what kinds of measures could we do? And civil nowhere in their mind at all. It appears to be nowhere. So if you watch Event 2 1, you have a bunch of well meaning folks, and they really are well meaning. They're figuring out how can we, as paternal figures, so to speak, controlling the populace, do a good job? And what kinds of misinformation should we censor? This information we have to control the message and on and on. That's the plans when they were slowly deliberating not in any collective this area due to a new righteous call. That was the baseline. The baseline for experts is that centralized control is the best way to make things happen, right, in civil liberties is very low on that list and it's not really treated as a constraint at all. One of the reasons we will not let this drop is that when they had full reign. The populace was demanding that they do it, right? They couldn't do anything they want. There really was no there was nobody stopping them. And when given the power to do all the centralized things that they could do, they could never have dreamed of doing. You know, Niall Ferguson said, well, the stuff that China's doing is off the table. And he's like, well, I guess, it's not off the table, right? He couldn't believe. The experts, couldn't believe that the population was begging for Chinese, China, Communist China level interventions. They were begging for it. And when they got their way and could do it, they bungled everything. They implemented locked down, which even event 2 a one recommended 0.3 not to do. But all of the other recommendations, the authoritarian recommendations they did and much, much more. It is a blaring example that should be remembered for a century how when centralized do gooders got their way, they failed to slow transmission, they only turned people against one another, they only cause massive economic and excess deaths harm through their well intentioned, centralized means to implement their ingenious scheme to save us all. That's why we're not going to let it drop. It is evidence number 1 in terms of recency of the failure of centralized control. And that was your a copy of our much censored book, Expressly Human, which is about the foundations of free expression itself and why we evolved emotional expressions in the 1st place.

In this Science Moment, Mark Tengizi discusses the misconception of balancing civil liberties with other societal utilities. He argues that civil liberties should not be treated as a trade-off, unlike other aspects such as transportation or healthcare. Using the example of personal property, he explains that civil liberties are constraints, not something to be negotiated or compromised. Society and the state should respect these boundaries, including bodily autonomy and informed consent. Tengizi concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding this distinction.

Speaker 0: Mark Tengizi here at the Science Moment. I'm on a bit of a civil liberties rant over the last several science moments, including this one. Now, we have folks that when there was an emergency, the supposed COVID perceived emergency and in arguing about over the last 3 years, many Folks will come out and say, look, it was an emergency. We have to balance civil liberties with safety, with various, you know, utilities that you have to, potentially raised or optimized in society. It is just one of the many things that we have to balance is the Liberties. And this is a deep mistake, a kind of category error. So indeed, society is filled with trade offs. The government And society has to make decisions about how to deal with a finite amount of money and doing trade offs amongst, let's say, transportation, highways and school spending and health care and all and military defense, right? These are standard trade offs for various different kinds of utilities, benefits for society, right, social welfare, all these kinds of things. Civil Liberties is not one of those things. Civil Liberties is not one of these fluids that has to be balanced with trade offs along with these other fluid kinds of utilities. And so let me give you an example, and it's really obvious. Suppose You've got your yard. You've got your property. And in your backyard, you'd like to make it into something really cool. You just moved in. It's sort of empty. Well, you have the same kind of trade offs. It's just that you're the boss and you can put in a pool and but that's going to cut into the amount of grass space And that would also cut into how much deck you can put. And you want to balance all of these kinds of things, and then you want a garden. All of these things are have trade offs with one another. And so when thinking about how to do that, you have to deal with these complicated trade offs. And, you know, it's a really complicated question that you individually have to solve. But you know what's not in that calculation? That calculation doesn't involve changing the property line. That property line is not part of that calculation. You can say, well, I could always make my yard a little bit bigger or and then I could do these things where I could make it. No, That's not part of it. That's a constraint. A constraint on your freedom on a constraint on your freedom is that property line. You can do whatever you want subject to that constraint. Society and the state can do whatever it wants subject to our property lines, our lines of our bodily autonomy, informed consent, all the kind of civil liberties that we have, you tread beyond that. They've gone beyond their property line. Civil liberties are constraints. They aren't things to be traded off with other benefits and welfare and other things in society. It's a category mistake to think so. And that was your Science Moments. If you haven't gotten a copy of Expressly Human, get it today.

This video criticizes the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). It argues that the WHO misrepresented the case fatality rate (CFR) and infection fatality rate (IFR) of the virus, causing unnecessary fear. The video also questions the validity of asymptomatic transmission and highlights the negative consequences of lockdown measures, such as increased poverty, mental health issues, and disrupted education. It criticizes the effectiveness of mask mandates and PCR testing, and warns of the erosion of civil liberties. The speaker urges viewers to push back against the threats to our civilization.

Speaker 0: This is ground 0 for the malarkey of COVID, the statement, the greatest misrepresentation of all time. 2 sentences which by themselves are true. It's true that the case fatality rate for COVID at this time, was about 3.4%, and it's also true that the flu generally kills far fewer than 1 in fact, most people would say 0.1% of those infected, not of the cases, the sick people who arrive at hospital. But by conflating these 2 separate points, CFR and IFR, Ted Ross was effectively lying. And this man, the greatest, one of the greatest infectious diseases specialists in the world, picked it up a few days later. He said that this statistic causes horror and it is meaningless. And he's right. 5 months later, the World Health Organization had no option but published his paper which demonstrated the extent to which he was right, showing that the infection fatality rate for coronavirus was not 3.4%, but 0.23% and, more impressively, that for people under the age of 70, it was a mere 0.05%, which is to say, negligible. I could talk for a whole day on the things that are going wrong in this paragraph here. Maria von Kerkhova of the World Health Organization: a majority of the world's population is susceptible to infection. And that is the first of 2 key elements that lead to this idea that everyone is dangerous until proven healthy. The asymptomatic driver thesis. It rests on very shaky grounds. I was absolutely aghast to find out the poor quality of the science underpinning this idea. One of the seminal papers, involved 1 woman who reputedly infected 16 of her colleagues, while asymptomatic. But a tiny little bit of investigation pulled out the reality that she was being treated for flu like symptoms. And with that evaporates a substantial underpinning of the whole asymptomatic transmission story. We were quite pleased on the 8th June when the World Health Organization acknowledged this. Maria van Kerkh over again gets up on stage and says, asymptomatic. The data show that asymptomatic transmission of coronavirus is very rare, only to be deflated the next day when she was forced back onto stage to walk back her statement saying that there's still much we don't know and our models show us that and so on and so on. It's utter, utter nonsense. Before COVID, this is repeated. Wherever you look in any country's pandemic respiratory virus guidelines, lockdowns are ruled out. They don't call them lockdowns because the term didn't exist. They talk about quarantining of the healthy. The measures that are reported to be ineffective and that should never be attempted include large scale quarantines, border closures, school closures, mask mandates, social distancing, all of the stuff that we're being forced to do, and the effective measures are pretty much limited to isolation of the sick and handwashing, the stuff we've always done. Here in March, we have the World Health Organization correctly telling everybody that there was no reason for the general public to be wearing surgical masks, let alone cloth ones. 3 months later, an inexplicable about turned again at the hands of Doctor. Tedros. And I want you to note the date of that announcement. It is the 5th June. It's astonishing because on the same day, the World Health Organization published this announcement that there is no direct evidence for the effectiveness of universal masking. And again, when you look at the data, We can compare the mask mandate states in orange with the non mask mandate states in blue in America. And there's no difference. Nothing. The story that this is protective of you or somebody else is probably a harmful story. What isn't a lie and what is very clear in the data is that lockdowns cause a great deal of harm. We have infant mortality. We have creeping poverty. We have starvation, joblessness. There have been gut wrenching denials of service, failures to diagnose or even treat diseases which are far more impactful than coronavirus, and we are now dealing with a horrible specter, especially amongst the youth of psychological disorders, with the incidence of self harm and suicide, suicidal ideation, expanding to levels that have never been seen before. 1,500,000,000 children had their educations effectively terminated or at least severely disrupted, and that is even true for the few children of the wealthy who were able to attend classes online. And perhaps the hardest thing for me to swallow about all of this is in undergraduate epidemiology. It is a well known finding that when you are confronted with a disease with sharp age graduation as you are with coronavirus, measures to generally suppress the spread of the disease have the effect reliably, of shifting the disease burden onto the vulnerable who we should be protecting. They worsen are expected to worsen and do worsen coronavirus mortality. And we have this very dystopian not a new normal but a new abnormal, a PCR test that is not capable of diagnosing infectiousness or infectedness. It is wrong to call it a COVID test COVID's a disease, not the presence of a virus inflated death numbers, media propaganda emerging from rampant disinformation by governments and fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear of reinfection, fear of long COVID, fear of resurgences and waves and mutations and variants and it just is continuous and unnecessary. And it's putting us into a very Orwellian dystopia, with pictures that have never been seen in living memory in liberal democracies, pictures of violence, desperation, and absurdity. Absolute absurdity. If you are not seeing at the moment, that the very underpinnings of our civilization are under threat here, then I beg you to consider. We have a choice. We're up, is being pushed up against the precipice. Are we gonna be pushed off or are we gonna push back?

If they demand Covid interventions again, make them see how authoritarian they are by your non-compliance.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Dr. Mark Genghis discusses the authoritarian nature of COVID interventions and how they may not be perceived as such due to certain behaviors becoming taboo. Compliance with these interventions further reinforces the belief that they are not violating civil liberties. Dr. Genghis encourages resistance and non-compliance to remind authorities of their tyrannical actions. He also mentions his book, "Expressly Human," which explores the origins of emotional expression and its role in communication among social animals.

Speaker 0: Doctor Mark Genghis here at the Science Moment. Today, I'm gonna talk about, one reason those that have been encouraging the COVID interventions, which are deeply civil rights violating, they are highly authoritarian, and they don't realize that they're authoritarian. And we've talked or about how often certain kinds of authoritarian laws, if the thing that they're preventing, that they're making illegal is already taboo, it just doesn't feel like authoritarianism. So, you know, for example, incest amongst adults. If you have a law against that, well, no one's gonna feel like it's authoritarian I mean, in principle to adult adult brothers and sisters is discussing that now should be able to make that decision. But none of us think that it is an authoritarian law to make that illegal because it's already in the taboo category. Now the same thing happened once COVID hits as we talked as I talked about in that earlier, science moment video. Many things like not wearing a mask, like not, you know, leaving your house and socializing and very and not having a vaccine became taboo. And so having laws that mandated of the interventions didn't feel like authoritarianism to the authoritarians. Now another thing that encourages, authoritarianism and makes it feel to the authoritarians as if they're not engaged in any civil liberties violations is our compliance. When they passed the authoritarian law, mandating that we all do this, violating violating our bodily autonomy, you know, leading to, controlling where we go, what we wear, shutting down our businesses. If we comply, it kinda feels like they didn't force us to do anything. It they kinda feel like they were making a law that we will we're already itching to follow. When we comply, of course, I I complied in the beginning. I thought, well, you know, I I don't wanna get into a fight every time I enter every single establishment for the first, you know, summer. I I was just like, I can't fight every single time. But I think that was the wrong attitude. And by, winter of that first, 2021 in a year, I was causing friction every single time. If they wanted me to wear a mask, they had to show their authoritarian laurels to be able to do it. Eventually, I might just back down so I could get the job done that I need to do that day, but they had to I had I made them act like the authoritarians that they are. Right? Make them act like authoritarians. Don't comply or at least provide great resistance that requires them to stand forth and act like the tyrants they are. That's how they're reminded in a you know, they're reminded daily is that they are tyrants. If you comply without question, they really come to believe they are not engaged in coercion, in authoritarianism, and civil rights violations at all. And now it's your science moment. Get yourself a copy of Expressly Human, the my 6th book on the origins of emotional expression, groundbreaking unifying grand unifying theory about why we have emotional expressions, it is the language we truly speak. Infusing it constantly with these emotional expressions that really ground the way that social animals communicate.

Forcing vaccination under the guise of care disregards civil liberties, bodily autonomy, informed consent, and natural immunity. Few were truly at risk from Covid, and the vaccines didn't effectively slow transmission. Even if they did, it's not wise to isolate the unvaccinated. They were never treated this way for flu or denied medical care. The vaccines were never tested for overall mortality impact. Respect personal choices and mind your own business. [Link]

@MarkChangizi - Mark Changizi

THEM: We forced vaccination because we care! ME: If you cared, you would respect ~ civil liberties ~ bodily autonomy ~ informed consent ~ natural immunity ~ that few were at risk from Covid ~ that the vaccines didn’t slow transmission ~ that even if the vaccines did slow transmission, it’s not epidemiologically sensible to push the unvaccinated into their own clusters with unchecked transmission ~ that the unvaccinated — e.g., for flu — were never before fired, banished, prevented from travel and denied medical care ~ that the vaccines were never tested for all cause mortality, i.e., whether they actually raised or lowered mortality If you cared, you would mind your f***ing business.

Individuals, groups, and companies went beyond what was mandated to help save us from Covid. Billions of people wore masks outdoors despite it not being mandated. Millions of people enforced the mask mandates despite not having any responsibility for doing so. Some went too far, like the middle-aged man who threatened an 8th grader in Bellingham, WA. Others, like a coffeehouse in Massachusetts, kept mandating masks after the state lifted its mandate. Some companies, like Sprouts, required masks for children as young as 2, while others, like my cousin's neighbor in Swift Current, SK, called the cops on someone who stopped by to use the bathroom. Families and friends have been divided over vaccine status, with some being excluded from events and even accidentally added to a WhatsApp group made to ensure they were avoided.

Tyranny can arrive in subtle ways. It can ban church services, shut down businesses, force people to stay home, stop schooling kids, and cause job loss. It can keep sick family members from seeing loved ones, prevent doctors from making medical decisions, demand identity coverage, and control public speech. It can even mandate rushed medication and banishment for non-compliance.

The Precautionary Principle states that those proposing novel interventions must show they work and have low harms. The Intervention Culpability Principle applies after implementation, putting the burden on supporters to show they worked as advertised. This is especially relevant for interventions implemented quickly, violating civil liberties or under perceived pressure. The burden should not be on skeptics to demonstrate failure. The Precautionary and Culpability Principles are two versions of the same core principle.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

🔥 Culpability Principle 🔥 1/ You’ve heard of the Precautionary Principle, but we desperately need a new principle, one I will describe in this thread. It’s called… The Intervention Culpability Principle.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

2/ The Precautionary Principle is NOT that we should take precautions when there are perceived dangers. Unfortunately, this is almost the exact opposite of what the Precautionary Principle actually says. https://rumble.com/vr38xq-the-precautionary-principle-demands-you-show-theyre-safe-and-effective.-mom.html

The Precautionary Principle demands YOU show they’re safe and effective. Moment 113 rumble.com

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

3/ The Precautionary Principle says that the burden of evidence is on those proposing the novel interventions to show that they will work, and will have low harms. https://youtu.be/JfUsm6frk8s

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

4/ What’s the justification for the Precautionary Principle? Society culturally evolves into somewhat optimal spots, with no designer. When we make perturbations, it almost always shifts things from some current local optimum to something less optimal. https://youtu.be/lnJ5pTPMVPE

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

5/ And there’s a long history of our human interventions wrecking things. The greatest historical democides (mass deaths by government) are usually due to the results of society’s well intentioned policies.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

6/ So, that’s the what and why of the Precautionary Principle. But I said we need another principle. What’s that?

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

7/ Whereas the Precautionary Principle concerns how to behave BEFORE initiating novel interventions, this new principle concerns how to behave AFTER having implemented the novel interventions.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

8/ The mainstream covid narrative is that the interventions worked ~ they slowed spread ~ they saved hospitals ~ any costs were small relative to this ~ and they were certainly not the cause of most of the supposed covid deaths that the interventions were protecting us from

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

9/ It’s been the skeptics and narrative outsiders that have been having to provide evidence, mostly ignored, that the interventions ~ did not slow the spread ~ did not save hospitals ~ had devastating harms ~ and are quite probably the principal cause of most of the supposed…

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

10/ That is to say, in the post-intervention situation we’re now in, the burden has been on those skeptical of the interventions to demonstrate the failure of the interventions. Why is that?

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

11/ That has things backwards. Why isn’t the burden on those that supported the draconian civil-liberties-violating interventions to demonstrate that the interventions were in fact successful?

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

12/ The wisdom of the Precautionary Principle is that, in the absence of very good arguments, we presume society’s current functioning has found some local optimum. Most deviations from that will lower the utility, often astronomically so.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

13/ And this is in the best of circumstances. It’s even more relevant when interventions are implemented quickly, when civil liberties are violated, or when they’re implemented under a perceived pressure to “do something to save us.”

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

14/ But those very reasons justifying the Precautionary Principle also argue that the post-intervention presumption should be that the interventions failed. The presumption should definitely NOT be that the interventions worked as planned!

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

15/ They rarely do work as planned, and those in power that implemented the interventions are exactly the folks you cannot trust when they claim they worked as planned, no matter how well intentioned they might be.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

16/ This is especially the case for interventions that were not implemented with an eye for the Precautionary Principle in the first place, as was the case for the covid interventions, where one was a “denier” to even suggest that cost-benefit analyses must be done.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

17/ So, just as the Precautionary Principle puts the burden on the interventionists before their implementation, this new principle puts the burden on the interventionists after the interventions have been implemented. Here’s the new principle…

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

18/ The Culpability Principle The burden is on those supporting the novel interventions to show they worked as advertised.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

19/ It is the interventionists’ responsibility to fully and independently audit the consequences of the interventions, against the starting assumption that they did NOT work, and that they DID have significant harms.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

20/ And the Culpability Principle is even more relevant for interventions that ~ never took the Precautionary Principle seriously ~ were implemented in haste ~ were implemented in fear ~ were implemented with righteous justification ~ were perceived as “common sense” ~…

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

21/ For covid, the Culpability Principle says the burden is on the lockdowners (maskers, supporters of mandatory vaccination, etc.) to show that ~ the interventions slowed the spread ~ the interventions saved hospitals ~ any costs were small relative to the benefits ~ the…

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

22/ The Precautionary and Culpability Principles comprise the wisdom that our greatest threat comes from our own actions. They’re just the pre- and post-game versions of the same core principle.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

23/ Precautionary Principle: The burden is on you to convince me twelve ways to Sunday that your ingenious scheme to save us ISN’T GOING TO royally fuck things up. Culpability Principle: The burden is on you to convince me twelve ways to Sunday that your ingenious scheme to…

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

24/ But, some might reply, once the interventions have actually occurred, won’t it be obvious whether the interventions worked as advertised? Not at all!

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

25/ Not even supposing everyone is acting as independent and objective scientists. And especially not in a climate where a mainstream narrative will inevitably have formed post-hoc justifying the wisdom and ethics of the interventions.

@MarkChangizi - MarkChangizi.substack.com

26/ Finally, as an addendum, because the Precautionary Principle is commonly misunderstood to dangerously mean the opposite — “We must take all the precautions!” — it would greatly help to rename these two principles as follows:

Harms of public health interventions against covid-19 must not be ignored https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4074

Harms of public health interventions against covid-19 must not be ignored The harmful consequences of public health choices should be explicitly considered and transparently reported to limit their damage, say Itai Bavli and colleagues The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge for governments. Questions regarding the most effective interventions to reduce the spread of the virus—for example, more testing, requirements to wear face masks, and stricter and longer lockdowns—become widely discussed in the popular and scientific press, informed largely by models that aimed to predict the health benefits of proposed interventions. Central to all these studies is recognition that inaction, or delayed action, will put millions of people unnecessarily at risk of serious illness or death. However, interventions to limit the spread of the coronavirus also carry negative health effects, which have yet to be considered systematically. Despite increasing evidence on the unintended, adverse effects of public health interventions such as social distancing and lockdown measures, there are few signs that policy decisions are being informed by a serious assessment and weighing of their harms on health. Instead, much of the discussion has become politicised, especially in the US, where President Trump’s provocative statements sparked debates along party lines about the necessity for policies to control covid-19. This politicisation, often fuelled by misinformation, has distracted from a much needed dispassionate discussion on the harms and benefits of potential public health measures against covid-19. The harmful consequences of public health interventions can be direct or indirect—for example, psychological harms, equity harms, group and social harms, opportunity harms, and inequalities in intervention benefits.12 These interventions can increase the adverse outcomes they seek to prevent or affect other health outcomes.234 Policy makers, acting to protect public health, need to weigh the possible side effects when deciding on, implementing, and evaluating specific public health interventions.1 Public policy efforts … bmj.com

The Covid hysteria has led to disastrous interventions like lockdowns, masks, and social distancing. Hysteria and fear are the ultimate causes of man-made disasters. Fear of infection is the worst kind, leading to totalitarianism. Pandemics contain the seeds of totalitarianism.
