  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

  9. "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..."

  12. 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

  15. @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.

  20. # 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 :)

  29. Discussing Pseudoscience With Archeologist Flint Dibble

    youtube.com/watch?v=tRIYhWl01rE

    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!

  34. "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.
