And, you know, here we're talking about the U.S. Right now, we're not talking about Americans as a whole. We're talking about U.S. government officials. So, again, we're talking about a narrow group and the stakes aren't quite that extreme, you know, but people are going to be faced very soon with the choice of either you stay in your job and you conform to the new rules or you're fired.

And it may differ from institution to institution. I mean, I haven't explored this yet, but I saw some reporting yesterday about people at the FBI saying they're going to continue to stay in their jobs and insist on the law. Yeah, it's interesting.

I don't know either. I mean, I don't have a sense of what the rules are there. But, you know, I think JVL is right to advise people to stay in their jobs. But we all need to take into consideration the possibility that they won't be able to stay in their jobs.

And that anybody who insists on following the law, or even following the rules of common sense, I mean, for example, they've banned use of the expressions diversity and equality, for example, you know, in any form, and some of it looks pretty nonsensical, like, would depend on the government department. But I mean, are you not allowed to measure diversity?

Are you not allowed to, you know, what about climate diversity? I mean, it's a word that gets used in many contexts. So

Right, right. And so, you know, some of that, you know, so resisting some of that will just be common sense. You know, how do we not talk? We can't use the word justice. What about justice?

Right, right. And so, you know, some of that, you know, so resisting some of that will just be common sense. You know, how do we not talk? We can't use the word justice. What about justice?

justice of the peace what about court justice so so there's some absurdity there too but we may pretty soon get to the point where people who say no i insist on using the word justice you know or no i insist that it's legitimate to investigate for example the effect of different medication on different different populations and because this is affecting the world of science as well

You know, there's some legitimate reasons to look at how medication X affects men and women, for example, you know, and you would call that gender, right? So if the word gender is banned, then maybe you can't conduct that investigation anymore. But it may be that people who insist on common sense language and who insist on following the law and the ethics of their organizations are fired. Right.
