It's surreal watching the collapse from the inside. Part of me is at the point of "fine! you all get what you deserve", but then I think of my kids and the others, future generations getting completely fucked for no fault of their own.

"How then shall we perform it?--At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

-Abraham Lincoln, Lyceum speech, 27 Jan, 1838

Considering it is basically the only over-the-counter pain med allowed during pregnancy, I think we will learn that this government doesn't understand the difference between causation and correlation.

It’s destructive, it’s by design, not dumb

Autism is a hoax orchestrated by the Democrats.

My guess is Jerome Powell.

It’s funny the HN’ers who support this administration won’t dare reveal themselves by sharing their views but they are sure here lurking and downvoting where they see fit.

Can you please make your substantive points thoughtfully? Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, snark is the wrong thing to optimize for on HN.

You and I know that it’s a complex issue which probably has a complicated mix of genetic and several environmental factors.

But RFK Jr doesn’t seem to care about facts or truth or objective reality as much as he cares about pushing a simple narrative.

In his narrative-driven reality, there is nothing which can’t be blamed, including Democrats.

I’m not so sure.

The timeline he set for himself was artificial. His assertion that it was for sure caused by environmental factors and his department could find it in a few months was artificial.

His team clearly used AI (without reasoning features and without ensemble challenges) to write public documents, leaving the hallucinated research footnotes in the document.

He clearly doesn’t care about accuracy precision or truth, so he very well may announce some cause in September. I’m sure his _Children’s Defense Fund_ has their own “research” which draws conclusions that he will most likely crib from.

Trump has a trope about saying he'll have a big announcement or deal with something "in 2 weeks" -- something that sounds lofty but the delay is long enough for it to pass out of the news cycle. I think RFK is doing the same here.
