  1. @EmericEnaud jeune journaliste basé en Suisse, m’a alpaguée lors que mon passage à Lausanne fin mai. Il me pose tout un tas de questions sur le fact-checking, l’utilisation de l’IA, les limites de l’information scientifique, le débat démocratique, notre désir de convaincre à tout prix… 1/2

  4. "C’EST QUOI UN « FASCISTE » ?

    Dans les années 1990 un certains nombre de chercheurs anglo-saxons aboutissent à ce que Roger Griffin appelle le « nouveau consensus » : la définition d’un « minimum fasciste » hors duquel il n’y a pas de fascisme..."

  5. 6/9 Skeptics call this the "Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy." The idea is that in a country of 330 million, you can find a "pattern" in anything if you look hard enough. They argue that because we are specifically looking for "scientists," we are ignoring the thousands of other people who go missing, creating a false bullseye around a random cluster of data points. Is it just bad luck, or are we truly connecting the dots? #Logic #Thinking #Statistics #Facts #Debunk

  6. @TokyoSonata Sorry. This is NOT Tolkien. But the photo is beautiful.
    This man is Clarence Elliott. The photographer was Valerie Finnis. Here is a link to another photo of the same session with Clarence’s wife Phillis.

  8. # Introduction

    Right, it's time to start the big #debunk! This is a story of #mathematics, #education and one Smart Man. It is a debunking of the arrogant proclamations of SmartmanApps (a maths teacher who lacks both knowledge and pedagogical skill) as well as a lesson in the limitations of education, and hopefully along the way I’ll highlight some interesting areas of mathematics that are not illuminated by a high school #maths education, but which nevertheless are quite accessible. The intended level is that of a curious high-school student. I will attempt only to give the necessary details, so if you are left feeling like you need a reference, or more information, let me know and I’ll gladly point you in the right direction.

    I acknowledge the audience for this will be small, but it nevertheless needs to be done. (It's certainly unlikely that the user in question will read it, as despite at first having an apparently limitless capacity to reply with new claims, and raining scorn on those who gave up replying or blocked him for their own sanity, he nowadays seems to block anyone who engages with him for more than a handful of posts - including me).

    The first topic (in the thread below to avoid clogging your feed) will simply be the real numbers, and how the number 0.999… illuminates the mathematics of them.

    Oh, and since it's fitting... #MathsMonday :)

  11. Discussing Pseudoscience With Archeologist Flint Dibble

    I don't know what happened but pseudoscience and conspiracy theories started spreading like wildfire ever since the covid-19 pandemic. Fighting all of that misinformation online is not easy work, but thanks to people like this who take their time and effort to do so. Not all heroes wear capes!

  13. "Ask most people, and the image of wind turbines as bird killers still persists, often amplified by anti-renewable rhetoric. But if you look at the hard data, a different story emerges. It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms. In fact, when you factor in climate change, wind power might actually help birds."

    Data not only shows the relative impact of wind turbines on bird deaths, but also gives us the insight to reduce their impact further.

  15. Yesterday, I lost a valued follow (@ai6yr) because they apparently had a hard line "mute all '#UFO consipiracy theory folks'.

    Its a shame because I thought we had a reasonably good exchange of ideas.

    All for daring to suggest, that the #Elpasoairport, Temporary Flight Restrictions were LIKELY another instance of the "#drones" that have been defeating Airdefence and Airport security all around the world for the last 5 years.

    I understand that the concept of another species being here is terrifying to most folks. To the point that there are outright hostile to anyone offering an alternative view to the offical silence.

    So far it looks like I was justified, not because I had special inside knowledge, but the MO is identical with all the other #UAP interacting with Airport facilities...

    There is at least one (Poor quality) video of a large object in Elpaso hours before the shutdown (Attached);

    For those who want to move on from the 1960s, CIA "Conspiracy Theory" nonsense.
    (This alone is not a proof of anything)

    Here is a 9m video from Matt Ford who has a fairly good and objective "The Good Trouble Show" (Not UAP related) discussing the last 5 years of "#Drone" shutting down airports around the world.

    We are past 1st quarter of the 21st century, its time for more humans to open their eyes and learn. If not out of curiosity but because the cadence of these incidents is increasing and most folk will not handle the #ontologicalshock very well with their head in the sand.

    If you want to learn more... not the woo-woo UFO stuff, but actual evidence... Here are a few sources for you to go down the rabbit hole.
    (Caution: Dont drink from the firehose)

    "The Age of Disclosure" - Recent Highest Grossing Amazon Prime Documentary with reputable, bipartisan and professionals telling you how it is;
    youtube.com/watch?v=DkU7ZqbADRs

    Here are some names to get you started want to know more;

    John Mack - A Canadinan Psychiatrist in the 1970 who set out to #debunk alien obductions by interviewing hundreds of witnesses... and declared the #Phenomenon true.

    Gary Nolan - A highly successful Immunologist, Inventor who collaborated with US Government on the #HavanaSyndrome because of his expertise.

    Beatriz Villarroel, a Stockholm University #astronomy Dr. who recently published a paper discovering tens of thousands of metallic reflective object in earths orbit from before space age (Old photos)
    researchgate.net/publication/3

    Jaques Vallee - A french astronomer, The foremost serious Authority. He begun by filming an object in orbit (pre-space age) for the french Government. He is the "French guy" in Spielbergs "Close Encounters of the Third guy".

  26. No, Hamburg has not banned music lessons because they're 'haram'.

    A widespread claim on social media alleges that the German city of Hamburg has banned music lessons in public schools because music is considered "haram", or forbidden, in Islam.

    However, none of the claims is true.

  27. Le #Debunk en direct, c'est pour quand bordel ?

    Avec l' #IA triomphante on est capable de sortir en direct en 1 milliseconde le vrai chiffre ou mensonge lancé par 1 politicien lambda.

    Comment France2, notre (encore ?) service publique peut-il laisser l'invité du FN, quasiment clore le débat en lançant 1 tel mensonge : "l'AME c'est quand même 1;77 €milliards".
    Aucun "journaliste" ne sourcille.
    L'AME, et même les économistes de droite, s'accordent sur le chiffre, c'est en 2024 1,15€milliards.

    Les mots du camelot du FN ont été jetés alors que résonnait le générique de fin, à votre avis, quel chiffre retiendront les spectateurs ?

    La #VAR existe dans le sport.
    On a le savoir faire et le coût du système pour une #TV serait dérisoire
    On devrait exiger de toutes les chaînes qui prétendent organiser des débats politiques d"y être soumis; par la loi.

    La #VDD , la "vérification des données en direct", c'est le seul moyen de redonner aux français la confiance qu'ils ont perdue depuis des décennies en leurs médias télévisés.
    N'importe quel invité peut y balancer ses chiffres comme autant de bonbons : il sait que de toute façons, ses contradicteurs n'ont pas accès à cet outil et que les "journalistes" n'ont pas envie de se mettre à mal, tel ou tel bonimenteur qui sera peut-être demain leur patron.
