      [2/*] The reason I thought they were silly is because they seemed so much easier than the other things that we were asked to do at a similar time. For example, solving a quadratic equation seems dramatically more difficult than understanding a simple paragraph.

      [3/*] But lately it seems like people cannot read even one or two sentences and correctly build a model in their head of what is being said, never mind able to read, say, an article or a source document.

      [4/*] Note that this is separate from things like emotional content, or intent. I'm talking about just basic facts, like what is the subject of a sentence, or whether there was one thing being talked about or two things.

      [5/*] The most recent example that really drove this home for me is that there were recent disclosures regarding grant proposals and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. There were _two separate proposals_, one of which was funded, and the other which was not.

      [6/*] It turns out gain of function research was _in_ the first proposal (DARPA. unfunded), not in the second proposal (NIH, funded), but then the second proposal ended up in the lab "accidentally" producing gain of function. Those are the actual facts that were disclosed.

      [7/*] From a reading comprehension standpoint, this is very straightforward (to me). But Twitter is now _littered_ with threads of people who are all over the map on what they are asserting. It's insane. I guess Twitter is where people who failed reading comprehension end up?

      [8/*] It is so frustrating that it makes me want to make a weekly show where all I do is recap what the subjects, verbs, and objects of the week's news sentences were, because apparently nobody can handle that if it gets even slightly complicated.

      [9/*] Like it seems that people on Twitter can only handle one subject. Like there was a grant proposal. They could handle that. But once there were two grant proposals, that's the end of it. Their brain can't track two similar things at the same time, so it's over?

      In all seriousness though, I read a piece from the Telegraph [1] and only came out with the idea that there was a single proposal to DARPA by a US org. Please tell me it is not obvious that there is a 2nd, funded proposal mentioned in that article. 😬 [1]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/21/wuhan-scientists-planned-releaseskin-penetrating-nanoparticles/ …

      So that article seems to require a login, so I don't know, but it is entirely possible that the author never mentions the other grant. You can read the other grant, and the progress reports, on-line since the Intercept FOIA'd them (unlike the DARPA grant, which was a "leak")

      With regards to the topic of that article specifically, I don't know if the "spew particles into caves to modify bat immunity FOR SCIENCE" idea from the (unfunded) DARPA grant was ever carried out, because I don't recall seeing it in the 900+ pages of the (funded) NIH grant.

          Obviously many things took place at WIV and related institutes that we do not know about, but in terms of things we have positive confirmation of, I do not believe that was one of them. So there may have been no reason to mention the other grant in the article?

          Maybe the NIH grant just wasn't well known at that time the article was written? Although the Intercept seemed to have known about it weeks before. But I count 126 grants in that FOIA request, so you might want to keep a VERY tight lid on that for now...https://theintercept.com/document/2021/09/09/the-intercept-v-national-institutes-of-health/ …
