If you don’t see a difference between “totally rules out” and “highly unlikely”, you REALLY need to go read the sequences.
I don’t see clear evidence here that engaging with the community on twitter has updated him much.
I didn’t say he engaged with the community on twitter. If you need direct evidence, show up at Lighthaven events he’s attending. Or go read posts where community members talk about Dean engaging with them—they disagree, sure, but looking at his updates over the past 2 years are how many bits of evidence towards our view against his prior views? (Again, read the sequences.)
I see the difference, and have updated my comment accordingly. he believes it is highly unlikely not impossible, though unclear what he means exactly (<1% perhaps?). I didn’t say he didn’t engage, just from your tweets it is not so clear he updated meaningfully; he did update his timelines probably based on recent advances. I still assume he talks about catastrophe in the “major disaster” kind of way, which is an unfortunate effect of using an unclear term here. Dean isn’t shy to use partisan/mocking language himself. i don’t like the idea of being talked about with mocking language but being unable to shoot back in a similar style but opinions may vary..
