Think about climate change. You have various right-wingers simultaneously (a) denying that global warming is happening (b) denying that anyone denies that global warming is happening, but denying that humans are responsible (c) denying that anyone denies that humans are causing global warming, insisting that the real argument is about the appropriate response.Remind the bunnies of anyone??I’m not sure there are three levels (yet) on inequality, but we definitely have (a) right-wingers denying that inequality is rising and (b) denying that anyone is denying the rise in inequality, but attacking any proposal to limit that rise.
You might ask, how is it possible to take such mutually contradictory positions? And the answer is, it’s very easy if confusing the debate is your job.

It reminds me of WUWT - what a cacophony of conflicting views.
ReplyDelete"Remind the bunnies of anyone??"
ReplyDeleteNope... doesn't ring a bell...
Not entirely relative, but Curry continues to make shit up, being published int he Daily Mail, the right wing tabloid with the worst record for accuracy:

She claims that the BEST data for the last 9.5 years or so shows that global warming has stalled...
Naturally this provokes a massive outbreak of the denialists type a and b which infest the Mail online.
Krugman left out the "actually cooling" crowd and the "it was warming, but warming has stopped" bunch.
ReplyDeleteSuch a varied bunch.
Further to my previous post, which will have been held up because it had an url in it, regarding an article in the Sunday Mail, it seems Judith Curry is trying some damage limitation/ explanation of silly press spin (delete as applicable) over at her blog. I leave it to the more in touch readers to say whether she has much to complain about.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is as old as Gorgias:

AEI provides the purest form of this neverending interpolation.
Andrea Mantegna's "Pallas Expelling the Vices from the Garden of Virtue" show's a lazy Ignorance wearing a crown. So little has changed in 500 years. Ignorance still rules.
ReplyDeleteLittle Mouse.
Mantegna is kind of heavy lifting . I can barely manage Bosch:

There was a radio story about the decline in people trusting the government (or any other institution, except the military). The reporters asked whom the other trusted. They hemmed and hawed and (IIRC) said their families. Hell. The most reliable voice in years and years is Krugman's.
ReplyDelete" Hell. The most reliable voice in years and years is Krugman's. "
ReplyDeleteLMAO

And we have liberals denying that the stimulus was a failure, in fact they say it "saved" jobs, except those jobs are once again lost so we need a 2nd stimulus. OWS is a vile mob that has now had multiple incidents of assualt, theft, rape, public masterbation, and anti-semitism.
It snowed in October across the east coast of the US, more evidence of warming, no doubt, get another BEST study ready with more trickery. All just in time for Halloween.
Boo!
Paul Krugman! lol He will be in a straight jacket within 3 years.
hahahahahahahahahaha

Celery Eater just went over the cliff...
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "just went"?
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realised you'd been away so long.

I'm not the one thinking Krugman is "the most reliable voice".
ReplyDeleteCelery Eater
"I'm not the one thinking Krugman is 'the most reliable voice'."
ReplyDeleteI think we got that part.
If you support OWS you are in "good" company.

ReplyDelete@David
ReplyDeleteYawn. You're very boring.
Celery Eater
Crikey, support OWS and you're a Nazi and a Commie... and an extreme fundamental Islamist but also fundamental Christian while being an atheist... and an extreme right white supremacist while being an African-American revolutionary leftist. Could one possibly be more cosmopolitan while feeding so much Apiaceaen cognitive dissonance?
ReplyDeleteIt is not just "right-wingers" that are skeptical of the alarmist hysteria. So the whole post by Krugman makes no sense from the start.
ReplyDeleteHardycross
"It is not just "right-wingers" that are skeptical of the alarmist hysteria"
ReplyDeleteWell yeah actually, it pretty much is, as every reliable poll on the influence of political leanings on global warming views has shown. They're also the only ones who use the phrase "alarmist hysteria"
But good job staying consistent with the denial theme.
"Apiaceaen cognitive dissonance"
ReplyDeleteYou're going to have to explain that one to him because those words have more than two syllables and involve science.
"Crikey, support OWS and you're a Nazi and a Commie..."
ReplyDeleteAh the ones that think the most of their own intelligence are often the slowest of the lot. I said, if you support OWS you are in good company, I said nor implied that you were/are/had to be a member of any of the groups on the list.
The Rabett Lemmings are getting boring lately, but are loyal and never question THE Rabett.

"I said, if you support OWS you are in good company, I said nor implied that you were/are/had to be a member of any of the groups on the list."
ReplyDeleteOh, give it a rest. The implication was clear.
@J Bowers
ReplyDeleteIf my goal was to imply it I would have simply stated it directly, no need to play games about the whole thing. My original statement means exactly what it says, no other implications from the author. Perhaps the reader should perform some sort of self examination?
Celery Eater
Bollocks.
ReplyDelete"Bollocks"
ReplyDeleteIs that the equivalent of "nuh-uh"?
Yawn
Celery Eater
No. It's a fine British alternative to, "my hairy arse".
ReplyDeleteYou're an idiot.
ReplyDeleteIs that direct enough for you?
Celery Eater
CE, this video was made for you.
ReplyDeleteSorry J Bowers I do not fit into your box.
ReplyDeleteNow you are boring and an idiot.

ReplyDeleteDenial in Depth is a crucial concept in cybersecurity that reflects a multi-layered approach to defense. It goes beyond just preventing unauthorized access at the perimeter and emphasizes creating obstacles at various levels of a system. This strategy acknowledges that no single security measure is foolproof, and therefore, organizations need to implement a diversified set of defenses.
ReplyDeleteBy implementing Denial in Depth, organizations make it more challenging for malicious actors to penetrate their systems. This approach involves not only firewalls and antivirus software but also focuses on user education, network segmentation, and constant monitoring for unusual activities. In essence, it's a proactive strategy that assumes breaches will occur and aims to minimize the impact and lateral movement within a network.
The strength of Denial in Depth lies in its adaptability and recognition of the evolving nature of cyber threats. It aligns with the idea that security is a continuous process, and by layering defenses, organizations can better withstand sophisticated attacks. In an era where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and diverse, a comprehensive defense strategy like Denial in Depth is essential for safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of digital infrastructures.
