@paulg Why do you believe that any of this is true? Serious question. I haven't been able to find any blog with two serious nerds fighting it out, each side says the other side's stuff is all fake, and each side has compelling instances of other-side stuff being fake.
@ESYudkowsky At least 60,000 people have been killed in Gaza so far. Presumably most of their families reacted this way. WTF is wrong with you that your reaction to a video like this is to suggest that it's fake? Scenes like this must play out every single day in Gaza.
@paulg Why think he was targeted by the IDF during an aid dropoff, versus, eg, shot by Hamas? I am not lying, I am not pretending to neutrality, I see tweets from both sides convincingly debunking the other side and I feel like I do not know what the IDF is doing in Gaza right now.
@ESYudkowsky @paulg no, you’re being the perfect idiot for the situation. postulating unattainably high standards for establishing truth, w/o assessing power dynamics of how truth is established on the ground and adapting your model, you become (deliberately) pacified into epistemic ambivalence.
