The other appalling thing about Ryan is how much the media is puling about how smart he is, and calling him a brilliant policy wonk (also hammered on by Pierce). Ryan is a guy with a bachelor’s degree in economics whose entire career is defined by political gladhanding and devotion to far-right ideological nonsense. He’s not particularly well-qualified; a BA is a degree that gives you a general knowledge of the basics of a field, and it’s a good thing, but it does not turn you into an expert. Ryan’s degree in economics is worth about as much as Bobby Jindal’s degree in biology.

So glad someone caught this. Monumental hypocrisy isn't foreign to PZ, and I'm not surprised at all whatsoever. This and the example ERV cites are perfect examples that demonstrate how the man has zero integrity, a fraud and an ideologue that doesn't let facts or reason get in the way of his agenda.

Credentials matter. No one organizing a respectable conference invites speakers that don't have credentials about the subject they are speaking of without a serious evaluation of what they have contributed to the field. They must at least show that there is reason for the audience to listen. Watson has nothing like this whatsoever.

I've always like Wilkins' writing, and have never observed him to be other than irredeemably kind, polite, and thoughtful in the context of cyber-interactions. I like that he can poke fun at himself about his weight and love for chocolate - something that the FtBers seem incapable of attempting. Sometimes I think he's too nice for the internetz, and I've thought the same about a couple of other science bloggers. He might be too accommodationist and gentle for fiercer tastes. He was once a SciBlogs writer IIRC, and left after one of the endless squabble cycles (The Poo-flinging War of Ought-Nine or such). Abbie might remember the details.
John is a friend of mine (although I haven't seen him since he moved away from Brisbane). He's a philosopher of science, and wrote a really interesting book on the species concept. Steersman and AndrewV69 would probably be in aspie heaven discussing with him the finer points of the philosophy behind the discussions about the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

He was one of the initiators of and contributors to TalkOrigens.

Crommunist had the right idea in the first post, but now seems convinced that people should really run through a checklist of sexual diseases before sleeping with someone... Rather than it being the responsibility of the person with the infectious diseases to just inform the other person, even though it might result in them not getting laid that night.

These people are so far down the rabbit hole.
It's actually stunned me. I have sent it off to everybody in my e-mail contact list. I'm also banging my head against the wall at the viewpoint that it's dehumanising to charge people, who knowingly and non-consensually infect a partner with HIV, with sexual assault.........IT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT! It's hurting somebody via sex. It's also attempted murder. FFS.
I'm seriously considering the possibility of Half Fish being an elaborate troll.

I can't screencap on this computer but I would if I could as I reckon that blog post is going to heavily edited some time soon to make it sound more savoury.

Crom's replied to him/her, and even he seems a bit iffy about the post. I look forward to seeing Skeptifem, Jadehawk, Sally Syringe et al get wind of this post, which appears to be saying, in effect, that it's okay to withold information about carrying a potentially deadly disease in order to get sex, in case the prospective partner might say 'no' and hurt the 'converted's fee-fees.

You are a psychopath Crom. A complete, dyed-in-the-wool fucking psychopath.

A person runs the risk of "disastrous discrimination" for disclosing to a sexual partner that the have HIV? OH NO! PLEASE NO! NOT POTENTIAL DISCRIMINTION! That's worse than knowingly infecting people with a fatal virus fo sho.

And what about the fucking health and LIFE of the unsuspecting twatting partner you sick, ignorant fuck? Doesn't that matter as long as someone isn't being discriminated against?

Yeah fucking brilliant, who decides the potential transmission rate at which you need to inform. Is it 0.001% chance, 0.1% chance, 10%? Is it by law, does the infected person play it by ear? Who fucking knows and really who cares because luckily there's fuck all chance the law is ever going to change just to make exceptions to laws of consent based on how oppressed half-fish feels about this particular issue.

Someone should ask him to define "near zero" numerically. Then followup and ask at what probability of infecting someone would he feel that the person must inform the other party about their HIV status.

Yeah. We are the crazy ones. Halffish's blog post is perfectly sane and reasonable.


Fuck you Crom and Half Fish. I hope you have sex with somebody who has HIV and neglects to disclose the fact to you. That way you can feel all warm and fuzzy inside that you never hurt their feelings.

You HIVogynists need to stop your AIDSsplaining now. Stop. Just stop. Don't do that.

When you develop AIDS and experience the discrimination and emotional trauma you'll face when privileged STD-free elitists ask if you have a disease that might kill them if they fuck you, then you'll understand. Until then, you have no business speaking about something you have no knowledge about, unlike Rebecca Watson, so shut the fuck up or I'm temp-banning the lot of you for 27 hours.

Crom, in the comments of his comedy blog:
To use an absurd example, let’s say that I suffer from night terrors. I have been on medication and haven’t had an episode in over a year. I hook up with someone, but don’t tell her I have night terrors. I suffer an episode and end up fracturing her jaw (while asleep). Is that sexual assault, justly punished by a lengthy jail sentence and registry as a sex offender? I would think not, even though there was a risk that I did not disclose to the partner.

Now obviously a fractured jaw isn’t the same as HIV, but the argument and principle are still in the ballpark.


No. No they are not.
I'm not even going to bother to explain why as it would be an exercise in patronisation.

That just shows why you need to tell your partner so they can make a risk assessment for themselves.

You see, if you have a LOW CD4 count ('below some CD4 count...') you are not just HIV+. You have AIDS. And at this point, a huge viral load.

If you are an IDIOT who thinks 'Meh, there is no reasonable risk I will transmit. Im below some CD4 count.' YOU ARE NOT THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF THE CALCULATIONS.

YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

Ive written numerous times about criminal transmissions/attempted transmissions of HIV. The best argument against it is that people wont get tested (dont know, cant be criminal, GENIUS!!!), but then you just mandate testing and thats fixed.

But you dont have the right to put someone else at risk, to change someone elses live forever, just because you think the odds are low. Im sure a drunk driver who kills a car full of people thought the risk was low that he would do that, but that doesnt change the outcome.

By the way is Halfabrain HIV positive or just a fucking psychopath? I'm just wondering why HE (I'm just going to call HIM this because it will really piss HIM and the other arseholes off) is promoting this poisonous idea.If HE is positive I reckon HE should get up Crommunist like a rat up a drainpipe and see how our favourite FTB blogger feels about it then.

Both Half-Fish and Crom seem to be forgetting that the risk of being infected is greater if there happens to be a cut or lesion 'down there', as it were. Which is why it's essential to inform a partner that one is HIV-positive before getting too intimate; for all the 'converted' might know, the possible sexual partner could have a spot, sore or scratch which they might ordinarily not worry about.

Also, a low viral load is not necessarily an indicator that the HIV-positive person is effectively safe. From wiki (my bolding):
The viral load in the blood is a good predictor of the likelihood of transmitting HIV to another. The higher the viral load value, the more viral elements there are in tissues and in circulating blood and other body fluids. Individuals with HIV are most contagious during the earliest (acute) stages of the infection. At this phase the immune response is still developing and antibody levels against the virus are often too low to be detected. Antibody testing at this stage often yields a negative result. This scenario increases the importance of HIV education and early detection and diagnosis. Widespread testing could provide significant public health benefits. There is no safe period for an individual infected with HIV. HIV can be passed to another individual even when the viral load has dropped to undetectable. The viral load test only detects the amount of virus circulating in the blood (about 2%). Approximately 98% of the HIV is actually in the body tissues such as the lymph nodes, gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), spleen, brain, and other body tissues and fluids. Viral level fluctuations in these tissues parallel the levels in the blood but there is not an immediate correlation in time or rate.

A person gives a presentation on a field of science they know almost nothing about. Their knowledge is based mainly if not exclusively on popular writings and reports in tabloid newspapers. Nevertheless, this person suggests that this entire field of science is a scam. An expert then writes a detailed critique, pointing out serious flaws and misrepresentations.

How does a certain group of people defend the lecturer?

1. The lecturer was only criticising this field of science as represented in the popular media.
2. It doesn't matter that the lecturer only has a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field.
3. The expert doesn't like the lecturer, therefore his criticisms can be discarded.
4. The lecturer was a woman, therefore only misogynists would criticise her.
5. It wasn't even a lecture, it was a stand-up comedy act.

Never before was so much straw burned by so few.

Just 'capped the comment because I can't believe he's actually making that argument. It's a strange world we live in when those who are trying to make a case for, or explain away, someone intentionally infecting another with HIV (without their consent!) are supposedly the "sane" ones.

Half-fish chimes in on my 'infected is infected' post.


HaifischGeweint says:
December 5, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Have you ever had unprotected sex with someone who was not, at the time, a virgin? Congratulations. You’re INFECTEEED with HPV, and your body can now INFECT your future partners with a virus that could kill them with cervical cancer over roughly the same time span in the absence of treatment as untreated HIV typically becomes AIDS and takes a life.

Shouldn’t you be telling all your partners about your status? After all, you’re potentially killing someone by having sex with them.

HPV is even transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, so either one of you wearing a condom doesn’t protect you. And if you think oral sex is your way out, think again. That’s how people get throat cancer from HPV.

You can change the way you talk about this subject matter, or you can continue to expose your bigotry, at which point I’m sure you’ll talk yourself straight out of prospective sex partners in just a matter of time. At this point, I sure wouldn’t go near you or anyone else who talked like you. I couldn’t reconcile my clitoral erection with the urge to spontaneously projectile vomit.

This gives away the fact that you have never been in a firefight up close and personal. The sheer random shit that can go down in an instant can take your breath away when you think about it later, not to mention give you the shakes.

I will let the ex-combat people here tell you about it, though in my experience not many people feel inclined to talk about it.

No shit... Just when I thought my opinion of that lot had hit rocks bottom, the fuckers turn up with drills and dynamite shouting "don't stop until you hit the core!"
What could possibly top this? Go on. Think. What on Earth could they come up with next week that tops this?
I can't wait to see how they do it but they will. Guaranteed.

She was doubly stumped when asked by an attendee (in both Germany and Missouri) if she could provide *any* examples of EP working well as a science. In both cases she admitted that such examples might exist, but that she'd never personally come across them. Anyone even remotely familiar with the field should start rattling off the list of cross-cultural human universals and some of the experiments done to test whether they are, in fact, more than cultural. Or maybe talk about even deeper psychological traits like the ability to rapidly acquire grammar, or maybe the inbuilt forms of sloppy thinking such as hyperbolic discounting and agency hyperdetection which also appear to be universal. Or, hell, any number of other studies that don't touch upon the sacred field of sex and gender. It's not that hard, even a layman like me could do it. Instead, she just filibustered with a whole load of empty speculation. Had she emphatically shouted out, “I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!” it would have been no more damning.

or at least take the question on notice and be prepared the next time you are likely to be asked again.

Haifisch:

"Definitions don’t list connotations. You can argue until the cows come home about the definition of a word like “infected” in various schools of thought, but none of that answers to THE CONNOTATION IN COMMON USE OF THE WORD."

The connotations of the word infected? Like "that infection is something I really don't want and could kill me so please don't stick your dick up me"?
In this case those connotations are a good thing. Calling HIV infection "Conversion" or "Fairy dream happy time" is just misleading and wrong.

I had largely ignored Crommunist and his zany co-author because they are really irrelevant, but that post really is actually psychotic. Chris Morris popped into my mind as well, but I see I have been beaten to that punchline.

Oh well. I'm just about to finish a blog post mansplaining why shooting people in the face should be decriminalised (because it oppresses gun owners who don't shoot people in the face).

Once I've finished that I'm going to do a presentation that uses Judy Mikovits as proof that the entire field of retrovirus research - no, bigger, of biology - is pseudo science.

Then I just have to wait for the speaking jobs to rooolllllll in.

Anyway, just time for a lamb jalfrezi before all of that.

On the other hand what's really wrong with converting someone? Once they get HIV/AIDS they can't be crippled by "privilege".

A new low has been hit.
Imagine the Schrödinger's Rapist scenario - except that the man knows there is a non-negligible probability he will rape the woman, and this probability is higher for him than for most other men. The woman doesn't know that he comes with this increased risk, and he doesn't want to tell her.
What would FTBs say then?

You'll be converted instead, like an AAC file into MP3. Not that much better or worse, ok so now you have disease that causes failure of your immune system. Don't be so prejudiced.

He/she is not infected! She/he is a "gift giver". http://www.tampabay.com/news/health/article1170784.ece

I'll suggest he/she use "spreading the ninja". Ninjas are cool...

Have you ever had unprotected sex with someone who was not, at the time, a virgin? Congratulations. You’re INFECTEEED with HPV, and your body can now INFECT your future partners with a virus that could kill them with cervical cancer over roughly the same time span in the absence of treatment as untreated HIV typically becomes AIDS and takes a life.

Shouldn’t you be telling all your partners about your status? After all, you’re potentially killing someone by having sex with them.

HPV is even transmitted via skin-to-skin contact, so either one of you wearing a condom doesn’t protect you. And if you think oral sex is your way out, think again. That’s how people get throat cancer from HPV.

You can change the way you talk about this subject matter, or you can continue to expose your bigotry, at which point I’m sure you’ll talk yourself straight out of prospective sex partners in just a matter of time. At this point, I sure wouldn’t go near you or anyone else who talked like you. I couldn’t reconcile my clitoral erection with the urge to spontaneously projectile vomit.
"Sorry I gave you AIDS, but you probably already had HPV anyway and was possibly gonna die from cancer, so stop oppressing me just because I deliberately exposed you to another potentally fatal disease, you fascist!"

You do realise that there are posters who will agree with that sentiment and not recognise it as satire. (byraway, they will all be Septics )

I read this Rolling Article a while ago about "conversion parties", gift givers and bug chasers. Cannot find it, but read this: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread670012/pg1
