"Suppose you are running a company that has a website. You are wondering whether marketing campaign A or B works best. Which one do you go with? Why not both? You run an experiment where visitors to your website are shown either ad A or B, and you check which one results in the most sales. Great, you are kind of a scientist. Did you need any permission for this? Of course not. This is an every day thing at thousands of companies worldwide.

"Now suppose you are a scientist at a publicly sponsored institution, or God forbid a doctor, with a similar question: does survey question A or B work best for your purposes? Well, just do an experiment. Actually, not really. First you would need to secure permission to ask students or patients some questions. It's a simple matter, right? Oh sweet summer child. Getting permission is the main work of doing a study. It can be near-impossible to do even the simplest research."

On the Necessity of Neologisms

About time someone looked at the immense ecological harm being done by wind turbines.

"This is my response to your inquiry about the unsubstantiated allegation that my collection, in 1994 on a Massachusetts beach, of a specimen from a rotting carcass may have violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act. I never collected a whale specimen in Massachusetts or transported marine mammal specimens across state lines, nor do I have such a specimen in my collection.

"While I am impressed with the alacrity with which the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) launched its investigation of the fate of a 30-year-old specimen, the rapid reaction contrasts sharply with your stubborn intransigeance in addressing the apparent massacre of marine mammals by the offshore wind industry. Recently approved offshore wind farms appear to be putting several protected dolphin and whale species, including the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale, in dire crisis."

Bill Clinton is complaining that conservatives online have become too effective at challenging leftist control of the media. He whinges about how "rural people are now highly sophisticated on how they get their information.” 🤣 Rural people.

The 600 year evolution from Ancient Greek sculptures is absolutely mind-blowing!!!

"Overall, the remarkable illustration of this corruption was the fact that families eventually began suing hospitals to allow the use of ivermectin for a relative who was expected to die even after being subjected to Fauci’s hospital COVID protocols. Remarkably, because there was so much money on the line, the hospitals chose to fight these lawsuits in court rather than just give ivermectin to the patients. In turn, of the 80 lawsuits filed by lawyer Ralph Lorigo, in 40 the judge sided with the family, and in 40 with the hospital, and of those, in the 40 where patients received ivermectin, 38 survived, whereas of the 40 who did not, 2 survived—in essence making suing a hospital arguably the most effective medical intervention in history. Yet, rather than take this data into consideration, the profit-focused hospitals banded together to develop an effective apparatus to dismiss further lawsuits."

Not In Danger, Doomed

It is gradually beginning to dawn on the Eurocrats that their grand project is headed for a catastrophic collapse: The future of the EU is in jeopardy at a time of multiple crises beyond its borders and doubts over defense guarantees from the US, Brussels’ outgoing foreign policy chief said on Monday. Josep Borrell painted […]
