Watching the sincere ⊕ I mean the ones who remained intellectually honest. libertarians work through the Anthropic/Fable situation, which has been building for a while.

They’re strung out along the same curve ⊕ tariffs, visa/immigration, censorship, equity stakes, Norway, Venezuela, Anthropic/DoD, Iran, and now Fable… among other things at different speeds, some pointed well before Fable, some only arriving now.

Covid19 Vaccine Equity Review

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

My daughter was preparing a debate in which she was arguing for a more fair handling of future pandemic crisis. As she asked me to review her opening speech, she was making the argument, in quite a strong way, how unfair the covid-19 distribution had been across countries.

I was a bit concerned she was pushing that example too hard out of youth idealism and I asked Claude first to review the claims, in particular from the standpoint of the Philippines as she was role-playing a representative from that country. The initial Claude output basically confirmed her claims. I then asked Claude to research whether the claims were disputed to make sure Claude didn’t give the answer I was expecting and the result remained solid. Finally, I asked to compile all of that in a pdf that I keep available here for whatever use it can be of.
