The Democratic Socialists of America pulled its endorsement of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York this week, accusing the progressive congresswoman of being insufficiently supportive of the Palestinian cause and efforts to end the war in Gaza…

Her approach has increasingly strained her relationship with some of the left’s most strident critics of Israel. When she rallied last month in the Bronx with Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Jamaal Bowman, dozens of pro-Palestinian demonstrators angry over her endorsement of Mr. Biden chanted “You’re a fraud, A.O.C.”

    Its that your model of the universe is wrong and you dont seem to care. You only care if it predicts in reverse, which is functionally useless.

      Okay, so you didn’t read what I said, or didn’t understand it. That’s alright. You keep casting spells, I’m sure this whole ‘hypothesis-action-analysis-revision’ cycle is a passing fad.

        Its about weighting. You take in many many opinions and you weight those where the prior maps more correctly to the posterior, then take the average. Weights can be positive or negative, and might be useful in either case. Its why I stick with dunces like you. I can apply a negative multiplier to your expressed opinions about what will happen and it better informs my prediction of future states.

        I can basically take your view, look at whatever the opposite of it is, and use that to predict the future.
