The Boston Globe has just published a shockingly sober article about the nonexistent genocide supposedly targeting the transgender community.

In it, they cite a report I coauthored showing that the murder rate is actually lower for trans-identifying people than the general population. Our report was responding to the HRC's annual reports pushing the narrative that there is an ongoing "Epidemic of Violence" against the transgender community.

The reporter says he "offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me."

That's unsurprising because the HRC is engaging in fundraising propaganda. They don't care about the truth, only promoting the narrative.

Our report presenting the actual data is irrefutable. That's why they have nothing to say in response.

You got it backwards, you need to prove that AI and humans are on the same level in terms of critical thinking. I proposed an argument as to why they are not, and you just made the baseless claim that humans work the same way. It saddens me that you think your ability to think critically is about the same as a weighted random number generator, but I guess this is just how it is. Have a nice day

I didn't make that claim. AI and humans clearly work differently, but you need to do more than point out the difference to make the claim that they're incapable of critical thinking. Why are you asserting that?
