daily reminder science caused the pandemic

@augustus So now a wet market with a bunch of unregulated animals in cages in poor conditions counts as "science"... yea ok

@freemo >he believes the wet market theory
oh no no no

@augustus oh you meant some conspiracy theory nonsense, yea ok this conversation is over then.

@freemo @augustus

You never tire of being wrong, do you? I wonder if you even realize how often you put your foot in your mouth or if your ego demands you repress it.

@dubh

Ditto

@augustus

@freemo @augustus

Nonsense, I wear my insecurities on the sleeve because I don’t mind playing the fool. You demand credentials from schools for bants and rehash the begrudgingly admitted line of legacy media. Get fucked, feelmo.

@dubh

Never once in my life have i demanded a credential from a school and quite the opposite, I have been vocal on several occasions that degrees from schools hold no value...

Nicer try though.

@augustus

@freemo @augustus

You’ve literally demanded a phd to qualify arguments not even a month ago, if memory serves. Seems repression was accurate.

@dubh

Here is me stating back in February the lack of value I put in a PhD, reiterating what I said here, that the value comes from ones accomplishments that demonstrates expertise and not from a degree:

Here I am again saying it a year ago:

@freemo @augustus

I casually skimmed and reshared an instance of you using it as a qualifier. You also disavowed the practice in the same thread.

> “I’m not one to use a degree as a qualification, except when I do, but then I’m sure to say ‘no homo’ so it doesn’t count.”

@dubh

No, I didnt.. feel free to point to any message where I explicitly stated a PhD alone was a credential.

What you probably did, as many have, is assume that when I say "experts" I meant PhD, which I never intend to mean.

I am very careful with my words and have never and would never claim a PhD is a credential on its own.
