@mattblaze Immunology and epidemiology is child's play after all that.

@mattblaze I’m impressed by how few of them seem to understand the difference between space (delta P ≈ 1 atm) and the bottom of the sea (>300).

@mattblaze It's quite a phenomenon that the loudest and most confident voices happen to be so knowledgeable in so many areas.

@mattblaze

Strange conjunction, eh?

@mattblaze don't forget their also profound knowledge of epidemiology, vaccines, refugees, transgender, etc

@mattblaze All I can say is if you’re not paying attention to @radiofreetom when stuff like this is going down, then you’re not paying attention. Expert among experts in this realm.

@mattblaze experts gonna expert 🤪

@mattblaze Like how 3 years ago people were suddenly experts in epidemiology and political science?

@mattblaze Probably taking a break from their other careers as epidemiologists.

@mattblaze They've got some pretty extensive medical expertise as well.

@mattblaze Ah yes, the Dunning–Kruger effect. I’m an expert in that. 😆

@mattblaze It’s just a shame that none of them are nuclear experts. I think that’s going to be relevant soon.

@mattblaze Most of us are experts on lots of things. Just don’t ask for our qualifications.

@mattblaze@federate.social It's the Internet. We're all instant experts.

@mattblaze I mean, both that sub and Russia are heading the same way so it's not that inconceivable. :blobcat_mlem:

@mattblaze
I got a degree in both from my couch and cable news.

@mattblaze Hey, if only experts should talk on social media, then we wouldn't need social media 😆

WTH, if I would talk only about fields of which I am a *real* expert, nobody here would ever have heard from me. 😉

Mastodon is like the large jar of mixed old screws & bolts in my garage. On many occasions I dig through it, some screws fit, some don't. But most of the time I find something which does the job. 😆

@mattblaze makes sense since it seems Russia is imploding.

@mattblaze time for some /game theory/

@mattblaze @cautionarytale
And now that I’ve impressed you, let me tell you all about presidential document control.

@mattblaze @Popehat
What?! I watched The Hunt for Red October eleventy times!

@mattblaze it was an elective in my public high school. Never thought I’d need it to be honest. Glad I didn’t waste a semester!

@mattblaze

Where are the sarcastic meta-observers who are above everything when you need them?

@mattblaze I think we are all #journalists.

@mattblaze probably also in Vaccines, viruses, and many other topics.

@mattblaze eh, I never claim to be an expert in submarine engineering. I'm just a student of people.

Once I read that article about how they sacked then sued the engineer that asked questions about safety I made educated guesses based not on engineering knowledge.

@mattblaze there are lots of people who study implosions using finite elements

@mattblaze Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.

@mattblaze Look... being an unemployable troll with no friends will give someone a LOT of free time to 'do their own research'. :blobthinksmart:

@mattblaze Thanks, I had some time to study both subjects now that it's been quiet on online immunology and virology front

@mattblaze Turns out I was a double major.

@mattblaze

@mattblaze @Popehat

@mattblaze they're really very similar: it's all about not buckling under immense pressure.

:blobcatpeek:

@mattblaze

Incredible, isn't it?! I just have difficulty making sense of my microwave.

@mattblaze when my daughter was very young (weeks to months old), she had a feeding tube you would be amazed how many experts would offer their expert advice on best practices when we were enjoying a coffee in town.

@mattblaze I do engage in uninformed speculation, but I try to label it as such. My track record over the past 18 hours should also serve to remind people (as I do explicitly) that my guesses can be very wrong.

@mattblaze Just wait until some Russians go down into a deep sea vehicle!

@mattblaze Surely, sir, you recognize their level of expertise in each matter?

I think it's indisputable that they are nearly the same on each topic.

@mattblaze

I know! Whatever the trending topic, from #climateChange to a pandemic, people become experts in a matter of hours.

@mattblaze

I try and make constructive comments on the issues at hand, I don't try and be an expert, just observe and try and make comments hopefully will lead to discussions.

@mattblaze

this is after they got done educating epidemiologists and physicians. 🙄

@mattblaze "Leave Elon Musk out of this!"

@mattblaze
What will I find scrolling backwards through your timeline?

@mattblaze

You don' t know half of it !
Most are former COVID experts, too.

@mattblaze don’t forget those few triple threat experts who also opine about crypto.

@mattblaze just wait until the next major story erupts and THOSE SAME PEEPS prove they have the the same level of expertise

what's that definition of insanity again?

Hmm, a LOT of people seem to think this was directed at them personally.

@mattblaze yes, its been a growing field ever since the Kursk incident...

@mattblaze
And, these same people don't give a shit that hundreds/thousands of people have died in Sudan (and a multitude of other places on this planet) since the submarine incident from PREVENTABLE causes (starvation, war, lack of healthcare). Lets STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS stupid submarine jackassery. I don't care, and neither should you. Some rich idiots made bad choices. Full stop. We've nothing to learn from their stupidity because we'll never get on a submarine.

@mattblaze deep sea and Russia has more in common than you may think (^
