@CartlandDavid Academia and the media used to push back against authority. Now they prop up authority because it agrees with their ideology and it has the power to force that ideology on those that disagree. They feel authority must be preserved now, regardless if it's wrong or destructive.

" The COVID response was a symptom of replacing the culture of questioning in science and medicine with a culture of authority It didn't matter what was actually true... what mattered was whether you were aligned with authority. " - Jay Bhattacharya, NIH Director.

@MurielBlaivePhD Unfortunately, the national security apparatus won't allow the US to be painted into a corner with regard to bioweapons research and production and give China a strategic advantage over the US. We have to find a way to mitigate exposure without banning GoF if we are to do this.

Which is why it's also important that the Trump administration fulfill its promise to the American people by producing a strong and effective policy on dangerous gain-of-function research and that Congress pass Rand Paul’s Risky Research Review Act (RRRA). However, as of March 19, 2026, by all indications it appears that both Trump’s executive order on dGOF and Senator Paul’s RRRA have died on the vine... indicating that the opinions of the "bioweaponers cosplaying as scientists" community (Ralph Baric, Yoshihiro Kawaoka, Jeff Taubenberger, et al.) have prevailed over the opinions of others. It follows that we are likely barreling toward a future in which another major lab-generated pandemic occurs and the very bureaucrats who came to power promising to prevent it will be the ones scrambling to cover it up.

@Atomicrod The only way nuclear power is going to be feasible is through the mass production of modular reactors that can be scaled and located to any site. One design to be approved. Smaller construction needs and flexible application over time. This is the only way. Start now.

Serious question: Why would leaders of a potential host community for a large nuclear project oppose the project due to the possibility of high cost and long construction time?

@KYCooperrider Not just direct losses, but I know multiple massive apartment complexes that are being built to house the workers from that plant that are now going to have to find occupants.

🚨BREAKING: Local governments around Kentucky's BlueOval SK boondoggle are now facing budget shortfalls after dumping MILLIONS in taxpayer cash into this "EV miracle" startup. Hardin County is staring down holes in its budget thanks to layoffs & no revenue.The state threw $250M (forgivable loan) + tax breaks + free land + free training for hired employees at it for promised 5,000 jobs by 2031. The plant idled after 4 months, all 1,600 taxpayer-trained workers laid off, second site never opened. Part of the deal involved Hardin County giving the plant a 15-year property tax exemption. The only way the county could offset the infrastructure investments made was through occupational (income) tax. With the layoffs, that tax revenue is no longer coming in, and the county has been left holding the bag. I called this YEARS ago when the deal was first made—this was never Ford building a proven auto manufacturing plant. It's ALWAYS been a startup gamble dressed up as "economic development." Politicians & cheerleaders who fell for the hype (Beshear & crew leading the charge) look like absolute fools. Nobody is being held accountable, and nobody is learning from the mistakes as more economic development gambles continue.

@AndyBeshearKY And you got where you were riding the coattails of your daddy's success. Your first job was at his former firm, White & Case LLP in New York before working at Stites & Harbison, where your father was a partner. Pretty rich to act like you have any connection to Appalachia.

@HiawathaBray I don't know that anything has killed more people than COVID. Certainly the indirect exposure to benzene in gasoline and lead have claimed lives, but I doubt it is 20M. Pathogen gain of function synthetic biology is the greatest future risk to humanity. Nothing even close.

@HiawathaBray I would have to go with Professor Louis Fieser in 1942 with the invention of napalm and the military incendiary bomb that killed 600-700K in Germany and Japan. The real answer is likely UNC's Ralph Baric and the WIV's Shi Zhengli for creating SARS-CoV-2 that killed 18-20M.

Heck yeah. In a sane world, Norman Borlaug would be the most revered scientist of the 20th century. It's possible that Borlaug saved more lives than any other man in history. And yet many people familiar with that bonehead Ehrlich have never heard of Borlaug.
Owen Lewis@is_OwenLewis

🧵 1/14: Just days after Paul Ehrlich (the man whose 1968 book “The Population Bomb” predicted billions would starve) passed away, it’s the perfect moment to celebrate the scientist who proved Ehrlich and other doomsayers spectacularly wrong. Meet Norman Borlaug, the Iowa farm boy who launched the Green Revolution and quite literally saved a billion lives. This is the ultimate story of human ingenuity triumphing over scarcity.

@HiawathaBray It was his wisdom that saved us, not his knowledge. Conversely, which scientist has killed more people than anyone? I have my thoughts, but curious of yours?

To NYTimes @dgelles: Why do you quote Michael Mann in this story? Do you not know that he has just been sanctioned by a WashDC court for knowingly presenting false information in court and litigating in bad faith on the central issue in his case against @MarkSteynOnline? x.com/JunkScience/st… And let's not forget his multiple false claims, including in court, about being a Nobel prize winner. If Mann can't tell the truth in court, how do you imagine you and your readers can rely on his claims as a climate activist? Embarrassing, dude. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/cli…

@ECLOGITE110 Excellent point. What IS the motivation? Those folks, Ehrlich-Gretta, etc, may be lying or they may be deranged. The real question is why they are given a forum for the nonsense they spew. Yes.

This, exactly this, yes. Sure, he said some dumb stuff. Lots of people do. I hear dumb stuff at the Thanksgiving table with uncles & cousins. The difference is that news media and nighttime talk show hosts kept giving Ehrlich a stage. AND lots of people bought his argument.
Brandon Zicha@ProfBZZZ

Everyone is shitting on this guy as if his arguments weren't always bad and it wasn't the public (many of whom bought it, uncritically) that made him more than the crank he should have been.

@FamedCelebrity The more illustrative question would be why academia, progressives, and the media so receptive to the concept of humanity destroying itself. The validity of the science never mattered. Ehrlich was simply a marketable vehicle for their desired narrative. Science never mattered.

Class 83: Why Were Paul Ehrlich's Predictions So Good (and so Bad)? He was right: he was given almost every major award. How can this be? We analyze how a model can be good to one man and lousy to another. How do you know the latest "research finds" is "good"? Link next.

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

@cremieuxrecueil Lancet just published a paper on how climate change is going to kill over 500K people from a sedentary lifestyle caused the slides being too hot to slide down. Peer reviewed journals are a joke and just a gatekeeping marketing platform for academic advancement and funding.

Can someone explain why some 10 year old needs to travel hundreds of miles for competition that they almost certainly could have found locally? Travel leagues for youth sports should be banned.

@RogerPielkeJr The lesson to be learned is that Paul Ehrlich completely failed at science, while being wildly successful at the business of science. Science is based on observations and accurate analysis, while the business of science is based on marketing and monetary procurement.
