Great report, Rob. And although I feel your pain around the idea that Trumpians and Dogelings are attacking "scientific research" - especially "medical research", government that funds anything beyond the most basic functions causes perverse consequences - and we are suffering for it in spades!
It relates an "insider", deeply embedded in expensive, taxpayer funded physics research demonstrating they absolutely do understand that the whole theory at the heart of the supposed research is a scam! The person demands that Sabine cease and desist from publicizing this.
Whether scientific, medical, or any other research, they are all like the fabulous "Salon of the Refused" idea you promoted several years ago. Government advocacy of ANY concepts beyond the fundamental protection of individual rights ultimately gets fossilized and institutionalized, causing incalculable harm. Examples include:
- "The food pyramid" - skyrocketing rates of obesity and inflammatory disease are directly traceable to it in the US.
- "Neurofibrillary tangles cause Alzheimer's disease" - prevented funding of alternative (and much more promising) research.
- "LDL Cholesterol" is responsible for heart disease" - again, prevented funding of alternatives (and MUCH more promising) research.
I could go on, but I know you recognize the concept here, and certainly Trump/Musk are not going about it the right way. But at LEAST they are visibly demonstrating the principle that government causes these problems, rather than prevents them. It seems to me that exposing that kind of fraud is doing our population a big favor.
I'm happy to see Trump destroying some things like USAID and DEI programs but bemoan his method and the company he keeps. Congress could always step in and make some changes permanent, but that would require them to have courage and principles.
As I keep saying, I hate, forgive me Jesus, I HATE the shameless, mendacious, narcissistic, megalomaniac, crony capitalist pig, casino card shark magnate, FTX, I mean NFT huckster, serial adulterers convicted, I mean implicated rapist, reality TV porn star, anti truth sociopath, neo nationalist socialist, GOP Crasher, formerly the world’s biggest twitter troll now XXX soft racist porn cite abuser, Americas Biggest Sore Winner, golden toilet porcelain king Donald J Trump…
but with all due disrespect Robert, and I should NOT have to tell you this….a minority, majority of my formerly beloved party wasted dumb masses their sacred right to suffrage..for an Illl Duce meets Tony Soprano in the flesh…Here we are now ENTERTAIN U.S.
We the Living in an Idiocracy but We the majority of the American People are NOT racists anymore than the POTUS with a brown wife and Semitic son in law. EXPLAINER ALERT. Donald J Trump must admit the only book he ever actually read without paying someone else to take the test for him was TRULY TASTELESS JOKE BOOK. You and I are of a same age Robert and can remember when the book store at the mall had a rack front and center. For f sake some dweeb in Utah spouting off about the rainbow confederate flag makes NOT an argument anymore than George Floyd’s time of dying means all cops are pigs. Trumps IS A PIG. That is all. Gotta run on. Thanks for taking my rant R.T. Peace through superior mental firepower
Yes. Amazing integrity. It shouldn't be amazing, but, unfortunately, these days, it is amazing and wonderful to find such integrity. Thank you.
