Pretty awesome that not only has Vox been throwing bulleyes all over the scientific dart boards, but also that we have the opportunity to interact with someone who's intelligence and willingness to teach is not walled behind barriers of high society.
A man for the people. Nice highlight of Probablity Zero. Thanks
I don’t think the “barriers” are very relevant or even real anymore. Far more important is the fact he actually has something relevant and important to say/teach.
What I find even more satisfying is that Vox Day is unashamedly crediting AI collaboration for doing much of the heavy lifting on verification and stress testing the theory. That has probably resulted in more apoplexy amongst the "educated" class than the destruction of their theories, as it demonstrates that they have nothing special if someone from outside their clique is able to do original groundbreaking work and publish it.
Gatekeeping is all that academia has left for a while now: of jobs, of acceptability, of status and so forth. Knowledge, innovation and being a meeting place for intellectuals to gather has long since fled them.
Hopefully faster if the intelligent members of western church’s read it. The question is what approaches will be chosen by the TENS crowd to save face?
Real science triumphs. We live in interesting times.
The evolution (and big bang) theory always seemed pretty retarded. Even more so after “trust the science” committed suicide in spectacular fashion back in 2020.
Bravo to Vox for putting this nonsense out to pasture.

The gatekeepers are being defeated.
Yes. I personally trust AI about as much as a Pakistani street beggar, but I know what you mean.

If they lose even gatekeeping, they have nothing.
I've heard normies use midwit for the last year, and the concept was gaining traction even earlier.
I wonder how long it will take for PZ to go mainstream.
3 years is my best guess

BTW his Throne of Bones series is way underrated.
