"As I may have mentioned now and then, there’s much wrong about the 2020s, but it’s also worth mentioning something right: We’re living in the golden age of airliner safety. The last fatal crash of a commercial flight of an American airline was way back in 2009."

NOT EVEN NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS ARE ALLOWED TO QUESTION ‘THE SCIENCE’

"The Washington Post published an article Thursday claiming Clauser was veering from the "overwhelming scientific consensus." According to the piece, "[Clauser's] recent denial of global warming has alarmed top climate scientists, who warn that he is using his stature to mislead the public about a planetary emergency."

Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, called the 2022 Nobel laureate's argument "pure garbage" and "pseudoscience," likening it to "the sort of error a freshman is embarrassed to be caught having made." Andrew Dessler, a professor of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University, is quoted as telling the Post, "Clouds amplify warming."

"We know we’ve been made the subject of some insane medical and political experiments. It’s perhaps also true that we’ve been made the subject of some malicious psychological experiments, like mice injected with drugs, put in a box, and then shocked. It’s like perhaps the ordering was different: we were put in a box, shocked, and then given drugs.

In any case, it all does indeed feel like PTSD, and it affected no population cohort as traumatically as it did the children. They are owed the truth about the trauma, however, and now. We must have honesty about this. The lies have to stop. We should not tolerate them at all. And the professional liars all need to be removed from their jobs immediately."

"According to Mamet, Hollywood is under the thumb of ‘Diversity Capos’ and full of ‘criminal dolts’ engaged in a ‘lickspittle racket’ that is ‘flogging nonsense’ and terrified of alienating easily offended young people.

"And the result of all this cynical virtue-signalling? ‘The call for equity is a demand for reward without achievement; and the studios that heed it are, consequently, turning out garbage.’

Taleb Admits the Obvious

One of the things I admire about NN Taleb is his ability, unlike most intellectuals, to openly and unashamedly admit that he was wrong about something. That’s one of the reasons I take him seriously even on those rare occasions when I think he has gotten it wrong. I concede that @DavidSacks is correct about […]
