A spaces on X about nuclear fusion kept getting interrupted by a Zuby's Razor who wouldn't stop screaming about plastic in the ocean.

Get the zuby's razor mug.A dictum asserting that the advocacy by a senior UK doctor for Physician Assistants (PAs) or Advanced Nurse Practitioners (ANPs) in preference to their own medical trainees invariably indicates a diversion of their clinical duties in favour of private practice. This principle is regarded as an unquestioned truth within certain circles, reflecting a strong conviction about the motivations and priorities of such doctors. Their motives are unearthed by anonymous accounts on social media
“Have you noticed how Dr. Thompson is always pushing for more PAs and ANPs, rather than helping us trainees?” asked Dr. Jones.
“Yeah, it’s like Anon’s Razor in action,” replied Dr. Lee, “He’s probably more focused on his private practice these days.”

Alice: Same. Most likely, it's just a razor owned by someone named Frank MacKey.

Identified by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in the Medium article: The Merchandising of Virtue" - May 27, 2017
"Kids with rich parents talk about “white privilege” at such privileged colleges as Amherst –but in one instance, one of them could not answer D’Souza’s simple and logical suggestion: ‘Why don’t you go to the registrar’s office and give your privileged spot to a minority student who was next in line?’
Hence the principle:
If your private life conflicts with your intellectual opinion, it cancels your intellectual ideas, not your private life.
and
If your private actions do not generalise then you cannot have general ideas.
This is not strictly about ethics, but information transfer. If a car salesman tries to sell you a Detroit car while driving a Honda, he is signalling that it may have a problem."
The video Taleb is referencing is:
SO SATISFYING: Dinesh D'Souza absolutely shreds SJW over "white privilege" - Young America's Foundation
Published 09 Jun 2018. Recorded at Amherst College.
If you hold an intelectual ideal, but your real world actions do not reflect or enforce this ideal. Then your actions cancel out this ideological stance. You cannot say to the word "I am a vegan" and claim the moral virtue for such an identity, but occasional eat chicken. The act of eating the chicken cancels out any moral or ideological virtue or superiority claimed by being vegan.

Student: "We have numbers that demonstrate precisely how much wealth was stolen, and that's money that in some way could be given back."
D'Sousa: "You're willing to have social justice with other people's pay, but you're not willing to pay.
So that's the problem. And that's the problem with the progressivism that marches behind social justice, while protecting its own privileges. You know, how you said, we all have to survive, really, you have to be at Amherst to survive?
You don't have to be at Amherst to survive, you have to be at Amherst to benefit.
You have to be at Amherst because you're getting opportunities at this college that many other people are not getting.
So if you say you believe in equal opportunity, you're a hypocrite because you are taking advantage of opportunities unavailable to others. But for you this hypocrisy is fully justified because you are militating on behalf of the poor. But if it's if you're against privilege - this college is privilege. So there's a glaring hypocrisy, and you will never turn your moral mirror on yourself to say, What am I doing about it?
That's my point. For you - society should act before you do - to enforce your moral code.
