Not only am I not surprised at the findings of this piece, they further confirm what I have long known. This fits in with the phony polls, "studies" on the benefits or damages due to this or that food, drink, exercise, etc. A third of all scientific papers are fake |

I ran across this just now. Largest Cosmic Explosion While the new discovery is interesting, I found what Dr. Wiseman said to be astounding. "in science, there's never certainty." He had better watch his back. Telling the truth these days will get you into trouble with those who say, "trust the science." |

Probably a bank heist.
Or it could be that. Glad that it's at least 8 billion light years away. But what a mysterious and amazing event.

I haven't watched this video. I started it but went into "skim" mode when it seemed to be anything but concise. So the next level of skimming was the comments where I ran across this one: "Pursuit of imaginary equations." And if something didn't fit it would be "normalized" (sort of what is done to people who don't believe there are more than two sexes). "To me they were just playing with formulas." Sounds a lot like "gender reassignment surgery" for scientific research. "Having no grounding in real physics." Thus was birthed the "multiverse," string theory, and other completely fictional concoctions. The real world be damned. We like the math! To be fair, as Timothy would remind us, pursuing mathematical consistency has lead to the discovery of particles that "had to be there" according to The Standard Model. If I use fancy words, don't mistake that for actually understanding this. And yet, you and I are not apparently much different from the basic scientific researchers these days. We might even be more worthy for we are not making stuff up. It could be that we've discovered most of what is discoverable and that all that is left is details. It could be that the weirdness of quantum physics (which seems to govern the smallest levels) has left researchers ontologically decapitated. Quantum physics seems to suggest that at the deepest levels (deepest materialist levels, that is) that there is no real rhyme nor reason to anything. Maybe that has left scientists in a tizzy. Combined with atheism and postmodern thought, they may actually be intellectually, emotionally, and creatively all but incapable of discovering the Next Big Thing. I sort of had an inkling of this over the last thirty years via observing a few articles and reading various pop-science books. It just seemed like the blind leading the blind. Put it another way: If atheist materialists of a "nothing really need make sense" postmodernist approach are not making any gains, maybe that tells you something about where the gains may be had, about the general nature of where the Next Big Thing lies. Maybe Intelligent Design, for instance, is not too kooky. But there are entire areas of research written off by Establishment Science because it doesn't conform to their way of How Things Should Be. Let's hope the floodgates open. There should be some interesting surprises in store. |

I am somewhat amazed that a leftist rag like "The Atlantic" would publish such a sensible piece as the one linked to below. This is a twofer, the writer sounds like a reasonable woman who gets the phony science, or at least hints at it. And she acknowledges that, we are all going to die in any case. Maybe we need to start lightening up. Phony WHO pronouncement |

Should have consulted me, although I have two at the most these days.
This is because women are prone to hysteria and love their drama. All this stuff is marketed to them.
Sounds as if Amanda has looked behind the curtain and perhaps become a little less prone to hysteria. But I wouldn't bet the farm on that.

More of the same. Stanford President ResignsI have long maintained that one should have a healthy mistrust of much which is being presented to us as "science." Those who generate such papers have a built-in bias to produce something which "proves" their paper. The system is such that too often the people who "review" such papers don't actually put in the necessary amount of time and effort, or close an eye to something because they know the paper's author, want something from the institution for which the author worked or countless other venal reasons. It goes back to the ongoing argument I have had with a friend in the medical business. To the myth which has develop concerning the "unselfish, disinterested scientist searching for the truth," I say bollocks. Scientists are just as corrupt and venal as everyone else, and perhaps more so. What is undeniable is that corrupt "scientists" are much more likely to cause great damage through their corruption than most of the rest of us. |

As if one needed further proof that what passes for the "science" of psychology in America is a complete sham and such associations as The American Psychological Association are nothing more than left-wing-political committees. Hiring the best is bad |

Ironic. The psychological industry using the psychological technique of "gaslighting" as a way to promote pernicious nonsense.
The psychology industry is kaput. It's worthless.

As I have often noted, the "industry" has long been used for propaganda/gaslighting purposes e.g. advertising. It has now come to its logical end point. The attempt to manipulate minds in all areas for selfish and political purposes. The "industry" abandoned truth long ago.

The funny thing is, most "counselors" are women. And those who are men aren't really men. They are women with a penis.
I know it's just fiction (but what isn't, these days), but I love the psychologist played by William Devane in the Jessie Stone series. He's a hard-bitten ex-alcoholic, ex-cop who has about zero namby-pamby in him. His conversations with Stone in the series are usually the high point.
Yes, set me down with one of those guys to help solve my problems. But don't write it down to knee-jerk misogyny when I say that the likelihood of a man getting good counseling from a woman is next to nil. Women don't understand men, especially feminist ones, and especially any who have undergone the kind of training wherein they learn the really stupid things taught by the "experts."
And 99.9% of the "men" in the industry aren't really men. They're just men giving the same woman-centered advice. Give me Dr. Dix...an appropriate name, perhaps because Dr. Vagina is near worthless for solving your problems.

More damning information on what passes for scholarly work in business academia. Interestingly, this particular cesspit deals with females who have falsified information in numerous studies. It's harder for women to make it in the world, so we lie Perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on women. In fact, much of what passes for "scholarly work" (I would guess over 75%) is simply pablum or rehash. When a society starts turning out a huge surfeit of graduates with useless PhDs, or even useful PhDs in numbers which are totally out of proportion to market needs, demand must be somehow whipped up to keep these PhD holders occupied. Particularly when many of these people are DEI products who are treated like saints in much of our society. As a result of this, we will no doubt one day hear of the study which determines the difference in productivity between those who sit on their left butt cheek, and those who sit on their right butt cheek.
The piece is long so I suggest you read the first few paragraphs and then skip to the last few.

Forget the academic fraud, Mr. Kung. These supposedly non-fraud "findings" seem hilariously stupid. No wonder it's so easy to hide the fraudulent within the "legitimate" because they both tend to be...well, fraudulent. Procrastination makes you more creative? Let's put that question to Elon Musk. I doubt he would agree. What a bunch of fortune-cookie nonsense, which is probably doing a disservice to fortune cookies which arguably offer better advice. What we likely see are the irrational beliefs and desires of women being legitimized through this pseudo-academic stuff. I mean, really, "fraudulent" is a relative term in this entire field. That's my take, Mr. Kung. However, long has it been reported that "science" (the supposed "hard" sciences as well) are rife with fraud. Or at the very least rife with publication abuses or inflation. For example, it is repeatedly reported that what would have been just one published paper in days of old is now split into four or five. Both Darwinism and "climate change" give clear evidence of how deeply academic fraud (or just self-delusion or groupthink) is embedded into "science." As some scientific chick (who I don't trust as far as I can throw her) said recently, something like, "Sure, technology itself continues to advance. But basic science is all but dead in regards to doing anything new." Could the fraudulence of science have something to do with that? Absolutely. As another commenter said about some woke movie or another, and I paraphrase, "The culture has been frozen in stupid for decades now. It produces nothing new, just an endless stream of remakes."
And as one commenter said in regards to one of Fil's video regarding the now routine fakeness of "live" performances: "We’re living in the era of the Grand Illusion."
Of course, until the bubble of their grand delusion is popped, they are happy with that thought. But we'll assume this Jade who wrote it was not a libtard. She doesn't believe there are more than two sexes. Doesn't believe in the "climate change" scam. Etc. It's a good point she made.

I am sure I previously mentioned the discussion I had with a major contributor to NRO regarding questionable studies some fifteen-to-twenty years ago. As I recall, he agreed with me in the end that most of such studies were nonsense.
We also had discussions on the different factions of the Repukelican Party. He was more of a libertarian who wanted unbridled "capitalism" while I was more of the social conservative faction that held culture was at least as important as high stock markets. He resented the constraints that the "social conservative" wing placed on him. I told him that he had better understand that without us, his wing was dead.

I can feel it. I'm being baited for a Brad-sized rant.
But, seriously, VDH in his latest article makes broad mention of the general coalition Trump has put together or gave voice to, if you will. And with Trump, the social conservatives are willing to eat a very large shit sandwich on a number of issues if only because they know he's not of the RINO branch of the party who have repeatedly sold them out. If Trump is going to feature pro wrestlers and some oddball tattooed people at his convention and into his ranks, we'll hold our noses because we know we need them.
What we likely have never needed are Libertarians who are among the kookiest people outside of those who think there are more than two sexes (and my money is that most Libertarians believe this malarkey as well). Libertarians have only ever been a fringe movement, and one that (I think) at heart detests conservatives and who seem to support most of the extreme liberal causes.
So the Libertarians and RINOs can all basically go to hell now. The are not and never have been reliable allies in any broad coalition of traditional Americanism. And I don't think they are a strong part of this current winning coalition in any meaningful way.

I think the balance of your post handled that for me.
I believe true libertarians are basically demonic sorts. They like to cover their satanic philosophy with bromides like "don't hurt anyone and don't take anyone's stuff." These are cliches' of the lowest and most dishonest sort. What I suspect most libertarians actually want is the untrammeled possibility to manifest their monstrous selves without fear of social sanction. They are degenerates of the lowest (highest?) order who would love society to fall to their level. Think drag-queen types and transgender sickos.
Then there are those truly cynical types who, while espousing libertarian themes, understand that a society based on libertarian ideas cannot but collapse into chaos. These types believe they are so superior to the rest of us that they will be there to take over when the possibility presents itself. They are no better than a Lenin or Hitler who were ecstatic when their cultures collapsed. In fact they did their best to speed the collapse, based on their philosophy "the worse the better" i.e. the worse conditions become in society, the better it is for us, as people can take only so much chaos and we will be there to pick up the pieces and re-establish order.
The above was a mini rant.

You got all of that one. What seems a consistent theme is that they want no restrictions on themselves. They give off the vibe of thinking of themselves as The Übermensch.

The science of this may not interest you. But I found the sociology to be fascinating. It's the first I've heard of it, but long story short, a major prediction of Dark Matter has been falsified and you can hear crickets chirping among "the scientific community" about this major finding. One commenter wrote: I think that's pretty much it. I replied: So, you think the FBI, CDC, and other major concerns aren't basically Kool-Aid Central? Well add "science" to that. Science has become as corrupt as everything else. I guess it was a positive that the idiot woman at Scientific American was fired for her idiot views. There's a good video of Bill Maher dressing down perhaps the most corrupt "scientist" of them all, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Worth a look. And this also intersects on the Scientific American issue. |
