  1. I think Thomas Midgley Jr. has met his match as the biggest killer of the Homo Sapiens era.

    How incredibly stupid is this? SHOW us how you came to this conclusion, and provide us with open, peer-reviewed, papers that back up your claims.

    (instead of agreeing that we don't fully grok our relationship to #information, #Elon and the author buy into this crap: #psuedoscience)

    “If information is a key component of everything in the universe, it would make sense that a vast computer somewhere is in control.

    “This approach, where excess information is removed, resembles the process of a computer deleting or compressing waste code to save storage space and optimise power consumption.”

  7. If ancient aliens taught early humans how to do everything, then how did the ancient aliens learn all that? Did an even more ancient race of aliens teach the ancient aliens?

    Is it ancient aliens all the way down??

  8. Andrew Conru, a “Seattle businessman who made his fortune from dating websites,” gave $1,000,000+ to the Human Diversity Foundation (HDF).

    HDF “is part of a movement to rehabilitate so-called race science as a topic of open debate. Labelled scientific racism by mainstream academics, it seeks to prove biological differences between races such as higher average IQ or a tendency to commit crime.”

  9. Could quantum physics be the key that unlocks the secrets of human behavior?
    phys.org/news/2024-01-quantum-
    << one of the worst physics articles I have ever read in a reasonable source.

    A more accurate title would be "Since psychologically relevant situations are not modelled well by basic probability equations should we jump to compex equations that were formulated to describe interactions on the very smallest of scales.

    The answer to both titles is: "of course not".

  10. From the archives: Twitching sticks – the (pseudo)science of dowsing | Anthony Garrett

    From the archives in 1989, Anthony Garrett takes a look at the science - or otherwise - of dowsing and water divination

  11. My mom emails me so much fake news and conspiracy theory nonsense everyday that I made a mail rule to automatically move any of her email to a folder. I’ve asked her to stop but she doesn’t. 🙄

    This rule has been running for a couple of years. I have hundreds if not thousands of these by now. I never open any of it but as you can see there’s a lot of wild stuff. This is just from this week. #fakenews #psuedoscience #skeptic

  12. Negative #ion therapy is useless at best and in some cases potentially lethal. I watched one of this guy's other videos because my mom started buying all kinds of crazy crap.

  13. Found a pretty interesting article about how the story of Atlantis became popular and introducing some dangers of pseudoarchaeology:iflscience.com/why-archaeologi
    Very relevant to the psuedoscientific claims made on Graham Hancock's new show Ancient Apocalypse.

  14. #TruthBeTold

    COVID-19 Natural Immunity

    The truth is...

    If you become infected with the COVID-19 virus and don't recover, you are 11 times less likely to become reinfected.

    #TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)
