If knowledge is power, and power corrupts, become totally evil about Halloween science by reading Halloween Science 2.0, on Kindle, paperback, and hardback.

Time is relative. Being a "dimension" was fiction manufactured by writers.

"An emerging scientific picture is that “clock time” isn’t a standalone, physical phenomenon at all. It’s a mathematical tool or book-keeping device – useful for coordinating our interactions, but with no independent existence of its own." via @guardian realclearscience.com/2026/03/23/is_…

No, the Covid-19 vaccine was not killing healthy young people.

Autocorrect is part of a vast left-wing conspiracy.

“Witch”? He can’t even spell “which” properly.

Public: Science is like baseball, right? Because it is so quantifiable.
Scientists: It's more like football - short bursts of violent activity separated by long committee meetings.
Good luck this season, everyone who lost to Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic.

Capacity is a false metric and everyone knows it. Germany has 300% more capacity than 15 years ago yet 20% less electricity and 100% higher cost.

The US is on track to add 86 GW of new power capacity in 2026... 51% of that will come from SOLAR. Energy transition is happening.

Medicine is the only profession where people willingly give up their youth to study for twelve years beyond high school while accumulating interest on $300K worth of student debt, only to be told they’re:
1) Pharma Shills
2) Doing it all wrong
3) Unsafe without supervision from folks with a fraction of the training
As thanks, Doctors work nights, weekends & holidays, pay thousands out of pocket for ever increasing “merit badges” like “maintenance of certification”…
And still have to ask for permission to prescribe drugs or perform a procedure….from people who aren’t at the bedside.
Those bureaucrats also give them 10-15 minutes to spend with each patient, while documenting minutiae that is completely irrelevant to care.
They top off the week with uncompensated documentation time so hospitals can make more money off of their work.
God forbid they prescribe an opioid…
That’s career ending.

Let them practice medicine without Monday morning quarter backing from administrators, insurance companies, malpractice lawyers, the academy & the state. It’s a perfect storm for the medical profession. At the moment, doctors have all of the liability and none of the autonomy to treat patients.

How long until the EU admits that banning GMOs was a choice and in hindsight, it was a strategic mistake.

americans really spend 4 years in a walkable community (college), say “wow, those were truly the best years of my life. oh well!” and then proceed to buy a house & car in the middle of a suburbanite hellscape

It's got an air of truthiness but is based on an offhand claim by someone who wrote a book saying that conversations lead them to believe that.

85 to 90 percent of women physicians share ONE surprising childhood trait. They are eldest daughters. Raised to over-function. Expected to carry the burden. Conditioned to never ask for help. Medicine does not just attract this trait. The entire healthcare system secretly relies on it. And it is fast-tracking massive burnout. Are you a doctor because of your training, or because you have been doing it your whole life? Let's talk about the Eldest Daughter Burden.

Man scientists confirm that a man getting kicked in the balls once is basically like giving birth 160 times.
Sure the dol scale has never been considered scientific and only goes to 10.5, but it's man pain we're talking about, so it's orders of magnitude greater than women feel.

At some point, we need to consider that sociologists are just saying this stuff on a dare to see which journalists bite.

Not doing well? Psychologists were the leading demographic for DSM 5 getting expanded beyond repair.
Barbara fringe psychologist@12PursueTruth
Autism: “The spectrum has become so accommodating that I fear that it has now been stretched so far that it has become meaningless and is no longer useful as a medical diagnosis.” Problem is that psychologists, and increasingly a flood of master’s level therapists have come to rely on the autism diagnosis to support their practice. Their livelihood. I suspect schools face a similar reliance on autism diagnoses for extra funding. Furthermore: Parents love it because their child gets extra services. Students love it because it makes them special. Drug companies love it because they profit from drugs. Psychologists are supposed to be the gatekeepers on diagnoses, but we are not doing very well at it.

NEW: Runners in the Los Angeles Marathon will be able to stop at mile 18 and still receive a finisher medal this weekend. Organizers say it’s an option for participants who are having a tough race day.

Universities lobbied to make student loans unlimited. And it worked. Schools that had become for rich dumb kids were suddenly swimming in money because anyone could go.
Tuitions doubled every 9 years.
Now students are swimming in debt, for degrees like Philosophy of Biology.

And because it can never be science, so it should do what it does rather than adopt too many trappings. Sociologists understand that.
Steve Stewart-Williams@SteveStuWill
Sociology has been slow to adopt emerging standards of scientific rigor, in large part because of its strong political skew and embrace of activism over accuracy. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/the-worlds-f…

Powerful: Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion on why he decided to talk to the media at the NFL combine despite having a stutter.
“I want to be a role model for those who are not able to speak in front of large crowds.”
KC is a true role model ❤️👏
