The study of the Sasquatch, commonly referred to as Bigfoot, occupies a singular space in the modern cultural landscape, existing at the contested boundary between folklore, media-driven pseudoscience, and fictional cinema.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Neither acquiescence in skepticism nor acquiescence in dogma is what education should produce. What it should produce is a belief that knowledge is attainable in a measure, though with difficulty; that much of what passes for knowledge at any given time is likely to be more or less mistaken, but that the mistakes can be rectified by care and industry. In acting upon our beliefs, we should be very cautious where a small error would mean disaster; nevertheless it is upon our beliefs that we must act. This state of mind is rather difficult: it requires a high degree of intellectual culture without emotional atrophy. But though difficult it is not impossible; it is in fact the scientific temper. Knowledge, like other good things, is difficult, but not impossible; the dogmatist forgets the difficulty, the skeptic denies the possibility. Both are mistaken, and their errors, when wide-spread, produce social disaster.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/826…

The cinematic exploration of the afterlife has transitioned from religious allegory to a pseudoscientific inquiry, reflecting a broader cultural shift in how modern society conceptualizes mortality.

Seth MacFarlane laughing at the sheer absurdity of 21st-century god-botherers. We’ve got quantum physics and they’re still arguing about talking snakes. Read a damn science book, then get back to us about that 'holy' text. #AtheistLife #Skeptic #GrowUp

CW: Epstein, Lawrence Krauss, war on science
J'avais raté cette vidéo de Shaun sur un livre récemment coordonné par l'agresseur sexuel (et accessoirement physicien et figure très présente dans les milieux sceptiques scientifiques des années 2000-2010) Lawrence Krauss chez un éditeur conspirationniste d'extrême-droite chrétienne américain.
https://youtu.be/tyU5Xkk6TuE?si=XVHg15pPkDoGTNoASi vous voulez en savoir plus sur les liens entre certains scientifiques américains, qui s'inscrit dans la suite des #ScienceWars et le lien avec l'affaire #epstein (qui aurait pu prévoir???), voilà où on en est. Comme d’hab c'est long mais c'est documenté.
