Wednesday in the Age of Reason-Munchausen (1988)

Knowing a lot about how plants grow isn’t the same as knowing a lot about the risks of GMO. Different fields of study.

This guy worked for the US State Department as part of an extortion of government ring to get other countries to allow GMOs. He is dangerously ignorant of GMO risk and is a paid propagandist for GMO peddlers.

Dangerous combination: ignorance and interest.

Notice how he doesn’t list the dark things such as how he “assisted” the US Department of State in lobbying activities nor any compensation received from GMO peddlers.

Churchill’s inflexibility on the issue of sovereignty was so extreme that it led to a famine in Bengal which killed three million.

Statement A:

“Contrary to some media reports, social media activity and subsequent public perception, Dr. Hawkins’ administrative leave resulted from theological statements that seemed inconsistent with Wheaton College’s doctrinal convictions, and is in no way related to her race, gender or commitment to wear a hijab during Advent,” Wheaton president Philip Ryken said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Statement B:

The school said that it rejects religious prejudice and believes strongly in the freedom of expression of religion.

Philip Ryken is a lying dissembler.

As empires collapse, they turn inward, and subject their own populations to the same ill treatment to which they subjected others. Here, America is unexceptional: the number of Americans being murdered by their own police, with minimal repercussions for those doing the killing, is quite stunning. When Americans wonder who their enemy really is, they need look no further.

If everything is ‘robust’ and ‘novel’, then there is no distinction. In that case, words used to describe scientific results are no longer driven by the content but rather by marketability. We think this changing attitude/culture is problematic for the credibility of science. We did not measure real scientific progress (it is even debatable whether this is possible), but it seems unlikely that the 900% increase in positive words is realistic and reflects true progress in science. Experiments fail and have failed regularly and results are not always clear (but you still have to write them down). If the language increasingly diverges from the actual results, quid est veritas?
