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

Tattoo ink migrates out of the skin. Up to 32% of injected pigment reaches the lymph nodes within 6 weeks, triggers chronic inflammation, and—in two independent European studies—a 21–62% higher risk of lymphoma.

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

TIME Magazine recently posted an article titled “New Study Finds Air Conditioners Will Exacerbate Climate Change As Planet Warms,” claiming that expanding air conditioner use will harm the planet by increasing warming, and that people should “transition” away from refrigerants and use less AC.

The BBC is fuelling vaccine “disinformation” by airing the “conspiracy theories” of people motivated by money and vanity, the UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty has said. The Telegraph has more.

For decades, scientists have searched for ways to slow or prevent Alzheimer’s disease, the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Now, a surprising area of research is gaining attention: compounds derived from cannabis.

Natural variability, volcanic forcing, and “internal noise” triggered Greenland’s rapid warming events.

Climate changes fostered by “unforced natural climate variability” may be more than an order of magnitude larger than the climate changes commonly attributed to anthropogenic forcing. [some emphasis, links added]
