  1. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1891-07), “A Scandal in Bohemia,” ch. 1 [Holmes], The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 1

  6. 🧿La guerra que legitima la bomba

    Lejos de #frenar la proliferación #nuclear, la ofensiva contra #Irán y la #impunidad estratégica de las potencias armadas están consolidando una #conclusión brutal para el resto del mundo: quien no posee un poder de disuasión extremo queda expuesto a la coerción, al castigo y a la devastación.

  7. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

    How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

  11. A quotation from Shakespeare

    HAMLET:                               O, I die, Horatio!
       The potent poison quite o’ercrows my spirit.
       I cannot live to hear the news from England.
       But I do prophesy th’ election lights
       On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice.
       So tell him, with th’ occurrents, more and less,
       Which have solicited — the rest is silence.
                                  [Dies.]

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Hamlet, Act 5, sc. 2, l. 389ff (5.2.389-395) (c. 1600)

  12. A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle

       “You don’t seem to give much thought to the matter in hand,” I said at last, interrupting Holmes’s musical disquisition.
       “No data yet,” he answered. “It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgement.”

    Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
    Story (1886-04), “A Study in Scarlet,” Part 1, ch. 3, Beeton’s Christmas Annual, Vol. 28 (1887-11-21)

  13. Can I be a dirty #pervert of #sex and at the same time wonder about the quirks of #life? Like, yes, I'll point out that you "came" yo a #conclusion, and say things like "you know what else is big?" But also let's discuss #philosophical issues and debate over certain #topics and talk about coassical #literature. My #maturity is a spectrum, I fear. Let me be #childishly stupid with you, but also acknowledge that that's not all I am.

  14. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
    Dirk Gently, No. 1, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 30 [Dirk] (1987)

  15. A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

    The same past data can confirm a theory and its exact opposite! If you survive until tomorrow, it could mean that either a) you are more likely to be immortal or b) that you are closer to death. Both conclusions rely on the exact same data.

    Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
    The Black Swan, Part 2, ch. 11 “How to Look for Bird Poop” (2007)

  16. you cant tell us to sit down and stfu and not expect us to come to a #conclusion on yo #arrogant azz.

  17. #37 in the list of things I shouldn't have to say but apparently because this is 2023 I have to be #explicit about.

    If I say that your #conclusion is #incorrect because of #faulty #assumptions or because of #mistaken #facts or for any other reasons, it does NOT mean I believe in or am #advocating for whatever the opposite of that conclusion happens to be.

    They're #orthogonal.

  18. WAPO—Evidence presented has led to an overriding and straight-forward #conclusion the central #cause of #January6th was one man, former president #DonaldTrump, the #committee concludes in its report summary. “None of the events of January 6th would have happened without him.”
    The #report cites Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark #Meadows and lawyers Rudy #Giuliani, Jeffrey#Clark and Kenneth #Chesebro among those who “likely share in #Eastman’s #culpability.”
