Two months ago, one of my favorite writers, Ted Gioia, wrote about the growing opposition to Big Tech and data centers, and the surging skepticism about AI, citing a Gallup poll that found 80 percent of the public wants to slow down AI development

This is a long-winded introduction, so forgive me. Ressentiment and hurt feelings over loss of prestige has hit many academic scientists hard. The ebbing away of respect and deference was not something they prepared for

Giving praise universally and refusing to criticise have been themes of education for several decades now, so the effects suggested (whereby confidence goes up even when successful problem-solving performance goes down) have become built in over a much longer timeframe than the AI era

Scotland has become the first country in the UK where water cremations are now legal

Congress has introduced legislation that would place genetic engineering and synthetic biology technologies into NATO’s classified military planning structure, authorizing the alliance to “research, develop, and deploy biotechnology” under a new international biodefense framework governing tools the bill itself states could enable the development of bioweapons

“There is a struggle brewing” over the science behind the hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine, said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Senior Research Scientist Karl Jablonowski after a report this week showed that Hep B vaccination rates plummeted 10 percentage points over two years

To achieve American energy dominance, all we needed was a new president

Declassified CIA documents reveal that in 1952, U.S. intelligence officials were exploring chemical methods to influence and control human behavior

An article published by Sage, one of the top five academic publishers, has just been released, not just noting the curious phenomenon of excess mortality, and how it happens to correlate with the COVID-19 vaccination program, but pretty much proving that the jab is involved, by explaining that governments already admit to COVID-19 vaccine deaths, but also – and more satisfyingly – ruling out the typical alternative explanations of COVID-19 itself and the lockdowns, via an ecological study focused on four Australian regions

A study published in the Australian publication Air Quality, Atmosphere and Health claims to have detected the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide in human blood. Yes, you read that right

Only a complete eco-nutter would want to compress carbon dioxide to dangerous asphyxiating levels and then run it through a three foot-wide near-surface metal pipe costing at least half a billion pounds, along a 120-mile path near human conurbations strewn with subsidence-causing, uncharted, ancient mines

Our criticism last week of people who want to “stop climate change”, as in the Sierra Club’s online yelp “Donald Trump removed the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to fight climate change” or the New York Times “Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change”, is intimately connected to another piece of prize foolishness, the notion that “climate change” is itself the causal force in question, rather than the description of things affected by whatever the causal force is

President Trump recently invoked the Defense Production Act to secure domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides — formally elevating them to national defense priorities

For years, “vaccine hesitancy”— defined as delay or refusal of vaccination — has been treated like a mental health disorder

As Chief Scientific Officer at The Wellness Company I oversaw the development of an important guide that most individuals should read and understand about the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein that they were exposed to during the pandemic
