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.

Sandra's is certainly a much nicer picture to come to mind than the one below.

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.
