So nature is evil? Good soil and the right amount of rain for your crops is evil? Perhaps you’d share the definition of evil that you’re using.

How can natural disasters be evil? There’s no choice, no intent. Nature is indifferent.

…but that’s not the flat-earth that they propose. There are many flaws with the flat earth model; no need to create strawman arguments.

e.x.? What doe the e and x stand for? Did you mean e.g. (exempli gratia)?

I will not comment when you are so easily switching between definitions of subjective, because I can’t be sure what you mean It’s a statement that uses a definition of subjective that is not the definition indicated in the OP’s contrast between being objective and subjective. It’s kind of pointless to use the second definition; all science involves people using their minds. In that sense of the word it’s all subjective, so there’s nothing to discuss. But the discussion was framed as subjective as opposed to objective, i.e. whether interpretation or feeling is in play.

Roe said the former president's movement was considered "off the record," meaning it wasn't on his public calendar that he'd be at the Trump International Golf Club on Sunday. https://abc11.com/post/Ryan-Wesley-Routh-court-donald-trump-apparent-assassination-attempt/15309084/ It’s possible it wasn’t announced for security reasons. Oh the nine-irony

What’s the morality of driving on the left vs right side of the road?

TFG golfing there wasn’t on his public schedule, so it’s not a given that this guy even knew he was there. One might expect a presidential candidate to be out campaigning.

The definition that applies to the topic is (a) and what is being used is (b), which is exactly the situation the fallacy of equivocation refers to The author’s context does exclude it. Again, this is not the definition that was being used in the original discussion.

This ignores the fact that the US is the outlier, by a wide margin, and that the utility of schools is greater than what you learn in class.

There’s no use to trying to avoid political solutions, since everything will ultimately tie back to politics. At the very least an approach will have a cost, meaning it has to be paid for. And the willingness to pay is inherently political.

This smacks of equivocation. The problem of subjectivity is in meaning different things to different people. The fact that individuals formulate hypotheses does not make them subjective. It’s a manufactured objection, based on a tortured use of the definition. The fact that different individuals might come up with different hypotheses is a strength of science, not a weakness. It means more possibilities are tested. If the hypothesis is subjective - it has a different meaning that depends on the individual, that makes it a bad hypothesis. It would be better to not rely on people who have apparently never become acquainted with science. We tend to quantify things. A good match with data is what makes a good explanation. If you have these vague, subjective issues, it suggests the problem is with having a poor model, rather than a problem with the process of science

iPhone will do this, though I’m not sure of its veracity. Take a picture, drag the bottom of the photo up. There’s an option to ID plants, if it recognizes a plant.

We try to deal in facts, though. Your opinions are not worth much, by themselves

You should include a link when providing a quote. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7040264/#R3 The SLEP program assumes ideal storage conditions, and the article points out that “The bathroom and medicine cabinet are not ideal places to store medications due to heat and humidity”

How often do they change?

No, cherry-picking cannot be used to counter the argument. News often focuses on the unusual, so these become stories precisely because the are a small minority.

There is no guarantee that a system with multiple variables can have all of them optimized. Some variables are not independent, so optimizing one means another can’t be.

You’re the one that broached this, so how about you provide it? An op-ed does not add context.

Then what are you suggesting? And what evidence supports it?

An hypothesis you’ve made but not supported with evidence. But why shouldn’t the default be that prevailing paradigms are sufficient, since it’s actually quite rare that a new paradigm is needed? Paradigms are paradigms because of the massive amount of evidence that supports them. When your neutrino signal seems to exceed the speed of light, why wouldn’t you hypothesize an error with the signal in favor of immediately dumping a hugely successful theory?

The positive or negative aspects are separate from what it is.

Or you can use the standard general definition and recognize that there are different implementations of it, since there are many types.
