And of course, he is spot on in his conclusion.
We underestimate nature at our own peril, instead getting distracted by false narratives that puts the blame on an outgroup.
The next zoonotic virus will not care what we believe, if we do not change and act, we invite more disasters in the future.

Unless, perhaps, one destroys science as we know it, by replacing it with a centralized top-down system of pretend pseudo-science. Keeping the usual images of lab coats and beakers, etc, but with declarations of "facts" that are unproven or even demonstrably false.

What a loss for students, colleagues, science, and the entire MSU community and beyond. We will remember Vilma fondly.

When will the AI students show up? And will they pay in-state or out-of-state tuition?

The problem is: they've mistaken correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had a good life *because* of manufacturing jobs. When, in reality, their parents and grandparents had a good life *despite* manufacturing jobs, because of unions, high taxes, and social policies.
