Speaking of 'investment strategy' I'd like to know who shorted Lockheed before Trump said that 'thing' about the Lockheed F-35 knocking tens of billions of dollars of it's share values... for a bit. Trump's cronies indebted to him and all of their bffs are making bank on the market volatility created by every stoopid thing Trump says. You'd figure all the 'truthers' would be on it... Considering they were all over the airline shorts pre-911 and never bothered to note all those airlines were in deep financial trouble and people were naturally shorting and playing those stock's volatility... Unlike Lockheed's situation... but the 'truthers' got derailed years ago. That's the problem with conspiracy theory (X) as an analysis of global events. 'Down the rabbit hole'. Rr

Someone who doesn't buy into a particular conspiracy does not (necessarily) share any traits with the religious whack jobs that burned witches at the stake. They were driven by ignorance and religious fervor. It seems you would like to have it both ways - denying the validity of science when it suits you, and at the same time using your own brand of scientific speculation to support a particular conspiracy, again when it suits you. Either science is real, or it isn't. Hint: science and the scientific method are fucking real. Huge mistakes in medical sciences have most definitely been made, but they tend to be self correcting over time. That's how science works.

It does not work like that any longer. Science has been politicized. People’s opinion on things they don’t really have first-hand experience on is just social posturing, i.e. signaling. Messing with signaling brings heavy social consequences so of course people get angry. You can’t convince people of what would harm them socially if it were true, or what is not readily observable. That is why science was so hard to invent, and is so hard to maintain these days. The social forces that prevented science before the seventeenth century, are once again preventing it today. Science died shortly after World War II. Science ruled intellectually starting in 1660 when the King, the fount of all honors mortal and divine, gave his imprimatur to the Royal Society. The Royal Society knew what the Scientific Method was, and gave status to scientists that followed it successfully, and denied status to scientists that failed to follow it. The King gave Kingly status to the Royal Society, in order to give Kingly status to the Scientific Method. Following World War II, Harvard got the upper hand over the Royal Society, and Harvard does not know or much care what the Scientific Method is. Following the scientific method is no longer rewarded with status, and violating it no longer penalized by loss of status.

You're entitled to your wrong interpolation.
I do see a major problem with public perception of science, driven by social trends in academia and the self-promotion interests of media personalities presented to the public as the "voice of Science." I call it the Scientician faith: Just change out a Bishop's crook and mitre for a PhD and lab coat and viola, a High Priest. In academia, a naive but paradoxically condescending brand of atheism is the de facto State Religion. At best, certain religions where "liberal" political views hold sway may be tolerated as beneficial exercises in applied social psychology (i.e. Unitarian, Quaker). The rest are lumped together as infantile, socially destructive delusions, and disposed of with a handy set of strawman attacks against their participants: Sneering atheists always know /much/ more about the motives and behavior of "religious" people than those people know themselves, and never hesitate to fill them in. In many instances it is painfully obvious that atheism is a neurotic expression of a repressed fear that God - the nasty one from fundamentalist fairy tales - might exist. The modern and correct replacement for naive religious belief is Scientism, a faith whose adherents believe that science provides final answers to all meaningful questions about life, the Universe "and everything." These believers would not know a falsifiable hypothesis if it bit them in the ass, and can not distinguish a consensus model from Holy Writ. In their minds and lives, science is the final Voice of Authority, completely and exactly filling the role the Church held in the Dark and Middle Ages as final arbiter of Truth. As a general rule, only working scientists know that this is ridiculous - and I do not include the "social sciences" in this grouping. The Scientician faith has spread beyond academia, establishing itself as a popular cult through media personalities presented as High Priests of Scientism. In the process, personalities who serve as the public Voices of Science have become useful tools for propagandists tasked to promote "scientific" industrial products and public policy. Astrophysicists are especially well suited to this role, as their job is to explain "everything." Carl Sagan, a brilliant entertainer but 3rd rate scientist whose only notable contribution to the literature (signing off on a geophysical model of nuclear winter) lasted for just a few months before being discarded by community consensus, set the pattern. Neil Tyson now fills his shoes, reaching an audience of tens of millions with The Truth about various controversial issues in geophysics, the life sciences and public health policy on behalf of corporate sponsors. In the public mind, an astrophysicist is an expert on everything that exists. This brings us to a real problem of much more than "academic" concern: The role of corporate sponsorship as a regulating factor in research, publication and the evolution of consensus models in the sciences. The propaganda activities of petrochemicals lobbies, for instance, offer literal bounties for anyone with a PhD in any field related to geophysics who will go on record with the opinion that global warming is not real, and/or that human activity has nothing to do with it. These same information warriors fund a cottage industry that creates spurious "proofs" that the Earth is actually cooling, for use in media campaigns. This has so far been a losing battle, in that an overwhelming consensus supports global warming - but creating "doubt and dissent" is sufficient to defend de facto genocidal public policy. On the immunology, toxicology and epidemiology fronts, however, we have a very different outcome: Any findings harmful to the commercial interests of the multi-billion dollar PharmaChem research and development industry are in the "publish and perish" category for workers in these fields. As an example, any layman who examines public health statistics looking for the miracle working impact of "life saving vaccines" over the last century will notice that there was no such impact; but people who are paid to do so must pretend otherwise. A two year study falsifying the results of the most frequently cited papers indicating that flu vaccines has a significant impact on mortality was greeted by the Journal of the American Medical Association with, “To accept these results would be to say that the Earth is flat!” True story... https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2009/11/does-the-vaccine-ma tter/307723/ When genetic engineering first became possible in the early 1970s, geneticists and microbiologists did not debate the safety of the technology, so much as which containment technologies should be mandated by law, to positively prevent the escape of its products from the laboratory setting. But when the first commercial products of genetic engineering were developed, no less a can-do guy than Donald Rumsfeld successfully lobbied the Bush I Administration to have transgenics based factory farming declared to be in the National Interest of the United States. Today, studies indicating that key components of this technology are endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and have acutely detrimental ecological side-effects are pointedly ignored by academia. Astrophysicists can assure us that transgenics based factory farming is a "life saving" technology, but geneticists who talk about the potential hazards of commercialized genetic engineering are not welcome on the talk show circuit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd9VwvLiFtc "Faith in science" is at best a grossly unreliable compass for those who do not understand the methods and history of science, and the impact of un- and anti-scientific influences on the practice of science in the real world. Those who do understand science know better than to have "faith" in its methods and products, but do have well justified confidence that the oldest and best established consensus models in physics will "very very likely" continue to hold up over time, in the physical contexts where they were originally developed and tested. :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYi34DAAoJEECU6c5XzmuqTYgH/jrxRg9m4wmTMnQ9Qin9bgrE m4eJzSEfLKlHuEZ2kfQz/2jRB+gFpQ2CNs+x/4P3fXQM2MbmcMuRY37fvS46YVJv 5tXXSNzCZG3OfZ5LEFJ+j9GxUcNodADhlOsspsGhFXTRgztaVHDJl0XD7XW4MY4U VdT3C6pq/80KQoIQXgOcZFrNv6bTCBgC8v+Z1JPKxH7qJK8maAxejjVnDwvQ/Qno q6rVbEQ62AwOC3a7KerJgtpwaLZaF0yqXuojkm321hv2IEq+m0H94+AXyoQr3qWw qviPP9T+EiLXhIi9uKk5La7lK0whJm2FqPntGhBppr16ZcRrjZKNXqIwWYqnyhU= =uBa1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Faith in free inquiry unhindered by profit motivations is a better, more reliable compass. I'd like to point out here that the National Park Service was the way the public initially was informed of global climate change when an un-vetted--by-deniers memo to park managers leaked stating (Paraphrase): 'As the climate continues to get warmer over the years we should prepare for more summertime activities' a decade or more ago.

You mean government funded science: What do you know, government funded science, like government funded Aztec theology, discovers that immense human sacrifices are necessary in order to ensure the sun rise, and the government gets to decide which humans to sacrifice. Real science shows the data and the workings, the evidence and the calculations. Global warming science, like Aztec theology, demands our faith. And when you launch freedom of information requests demanding the evidence that shows we are doomed if the necessary human sacrifices are not made, you get stonewalled. When Trump's team took charge they demanded the evidence and the calculations. Still not getting them.

I am pretty sure that under the new management, we will no longer hear that each year was warmer than the last, (by an amount much smaller than the various sources of error that occur in attempting to measure global temperatures, which sources of error are "corrected" by ad hoc guessed corrections) and instead this year, and subsequent years during the Trump presidency, will be significantly cooler than 2016. We will also see during the Trump presidency a recovery in total area of the oceans covered by ice. I will bet you a six pack of beer that measured and observed Global Warming stops during the Trump presidency, both global temperatures and global sea ice. Will this shake your faith in: 1. Government science? 2. Global Warming?

To be precise, I predict that the lowest area of global sea ice during the Trump presidency will always be higher, more sea covered by sea ice, than the lowest area of global sea ice during the Obama presidency.

That's an outragous claim for people like you. LMAO at you. You are the poster child for circular 'reasoning'.
that children can't suffer from cognitive disabilities, etc.
I never said that.
Yes you did. In fact you called me a nazi after describing a young girl whom my girlfriend was the caretaker of who was profoundly disabled by asperger's syndrome. She couldn't talk, etc.. i'm not getting into it again, please just leave it alone.
So again, disagreeing with your stupid enviro propganda that comes straight out of your fucking americunt nazi state doesn't make me a bible thumper.
How ducking retarded are you? The us republican government DOES NOT believe in anthropogenic climate change. You are right in line with Trump and his cronies.
Did I ever mention that your blind faith in state science means you are a lot closer to bible thumpers than I am?
Did i ever mention that i don't give a fuck about your idiotic and untrue non-sequitirs?
Huge mistakes in medical sciences have most definitely been made,
Mistakes? Are you referring to the 'mistakes' of the 'medical' 'science' of psychiatry? As I explained above those are not mistakes.
There have been mistakes besides atrocities like the lobotomy.
Not mistakes. 'Curing' gays was not a mistake. And looks like you are an accomplice of the shitbags who did that kind of thing, by pretending they were not criminals but poor 'mistaken' altruists or something.
I never said that or even implied it. Was "curing" gays ever accepted as science by anyone, anywhere?
Early experimentation with radiation, heparin adulteration out of china,
AH the evil chinese. What the fuck has that got to do with 'science', fake or legitimate?
Maybe mistakes is the wrong word for some of those examples - you love to pick at things with your pedantic little mind. The point is there have been all sorts of fuck ups in the history of medicine, and rational inquiry AKA science is how they get solved.
exploding breast implants, all sorts of toxic shit before the FDA came around, etc, etc.
Before the FDA came around. Spoken like a True American Anarchist eh John. Tsk tsk. You seem to be showing your true statist colors.
Tsk tsk all you want dickhead, it's a fact. All sorts of toxic shit was passed off prior to the fda (and after, for that matter). My anarchist utopia will have some sort of opt-in dope inspection line, but I'm happy for you to die of arsenic poisoning in yours.
By the way, radioactive 'cures' were aproved by your Progressive Scientifc Anarchist FDA.
So what? Nobody said the FDA was perfect, or even close. It's called progress. Everything has to turn into a fucking insult fest with you Juan. You're not an enjoyable person to discourse with. You aren't scum like Zen and James Donald, but you have some fucking social issues.
And if you believe that rational inquiry can lead to that sort of 'mistake' you don't really understand what rational inquiry is, and you are in no position to lecture me or anynody else about 'science'.
Rational inquiry is what leads to the correction of mistakes. I would think that is obvious.
What is obvious to me is that you are either unable to understand what I'm saying, or ignoring it on purpose. I think it's more the later than the former.
but they tend to be self correcting over time. That's how science works.

I'll reply to your message later, but there's something I feel curious about right now. Do you think that the people who run the US central bank (or any other central bank), and all the 'economists' from 'very important' universities who take central banks and money printing for granted, are 'scientists'? Are so called 'keynesian' 'economists' 'scientists'?

No. It's a "field" that can be gamed and manipulated using analytical techniques, but fundamentally it would fall more in line as a form of sociology or some other study of people. Economic policy is dictated by the barrel of the gun, rules and charters and guidelines written out by corporate interests and enforced by the various governments in a very transparent attempt at keeping the rich man (and nation) rich and the poor man (and nation) poor. I have no deep understanding or insights on this subject (nor much interest) but these are the thoughts off the top of my head.

OK. Allegedly, the trump mafia, which is a subset of the us gov't mafia, doesn't believe in global warming. I say 'allegedly' because I would be hardly surprised if they flip-floped. But fine, for the time being they are on the payroll of the oil mafia (oops a 'conspiracy theory') However, other factions of the us gov't do believe in 'climate change'. So my claim "you get your propaganda from the gov't" is still valid (more accurately, the source is a faction within the gov't) - If I'm in line with the repuglicans, then you are in line with the democrats. But OK, I see how you can turn my argument around and say that I'm a shill for shell and exxon (and aramco I guess). Even if you do that, my general point still stands. The 'climate change' faction IS a faction. They are not honest and 'objective' 'scientists'. They are playing a political game. And 'science' has always been manipulated by political interests. Something you seem to completely ignore.

So you actucally don't have a clue about what 'scientists' used to say?

Keep up with your bullshit. You are doing exactly what I say you are doing. You are making excuses for people who are corrupt to the bone. The 'mistakes' (your word) or now 'fuck ups' are not 'mistakes'. 'Science' when done by people is not guaranteed at all to really be science. It obviously can be political propaganda.

Indeed. The economic policy of the state and its cronies is completely self-serving. But the people in academia who pretend to provide 'academic' justifications for it are seen as the most capable and altruistic intellectuals engaging in some sort of objective and rational endeavor. Of course the economics of money printing are self-serving voodoo and there's a small group of 'dissenters' among economists who say so. I brought this uo because it is another (current) example of the established, reputable and academic sector getting away with murder. And even if mainstream economics isn't seen as hard science like physics, it is still regarded as legitimate discipline.

I disagree, for the most part, on this particular issue. The factions seem to me to be a tiny percentage of scientists willing to stand with the "oil mafia", vs the vast majority who seem to me to be standing with the science. Even if the democrats at least profess belief in this existential issue, what did they ever really do about it? Anything of consequence? I don't think the factions break down like you imagine, and I don't give the democrats much credit simply for refusing to deny the issue.

Ok, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Obviously this is a disgusting blemish on the history of "scientific inquiry" ;) ... I don't put much stock in psychology personally, despite what you may think.

Yes, many of them were criminal acts, no doubt, with financial pressure pushing legit science aside and causing atrocities. I won't bother with another list, you can gaagle it yourself ;) In any case, they were still mistakes.
'Science' when done by people is not guaranteed at all to really be science. It obviously can be political propaganda.
I wouldn't argue with that. I do figure there are a lot more principled scientists out there than you think, but I don't pretend to know the numbers.

It certainly improved the chances of not being sold toxic snake oil. All your bullshit from here on out trying to paint me as a statist because I stated a fact is just that - so much bullshit.

I knew you'd jump all over the progress line as soon as I sent it ;). Poorly worded, but again my point stands. As I said before I would want some sort of opt in drugs inspection in whatever anarchist utopia I can imagine. Mentioning the FDA doesn't make me a statist. But I realize how much you love jumping all over such small minded pedantic bullshit and I'm happy you found something you think is such a powerful point ;)

Not really. Witch hunting, although a time honored joo-kristian tradition, isn't driven by ignorance. It's a political phenomenom (like religion itself). People who don't parrot the 'community's' party line are treated like criminals, or are considered 'sick' and need to be 'cured'.
Of course, the hunters don't have any rational argument, but that's not the same thing, at all, as being ignorant. They are not just 'ignorant'. They are 'ignorant' on purpose.
Whatever, you get my point.
No, I don't get your point. What I seem to get quite well is that you are purposedly ignoring MY point(s).

Public Dissentiment is an online tool that helps protesters negatively impact the price of a publicly traded company’s stock by communicating with algorithmic market makers. By using the same algorithmic sentiment analysis techniques as financial trading bots, the app generates posts for social media that link to news stories that will be viewed negatively by algorithmic market makers.
If enough of these posts are generated in the same time frame, uncertainty about the targeted company’s stock will be created, temporarily affecting the price of the stock, consequently making the company’s shareholders aware of the public’s negative sentiment towards them.

Speaking of 'investment strategy' I'd like to know who shorted Lockheed before Trump said that 'thing' about the Lockheed F-35 knocking tens of billions of dollars of it's share values... for a bit. Trump's cronies indebted to him and all of their bffs are making bank on the market volatility created by every stoopid thing Trump says.
You'd figure all the 'truthers' would be on it... Considering they were all over the airline shorts pre-911 and never bothered to note all those airlines were in deep financial trouble and people were naturally shorting and playing those stock's volatility... Unlike Lockheed's situation... but the 'truthers' got derailed years ago. That's the problem with conspiracy theory (X) as an analysis of global events. 'Down the rabbit hole'.
For your "shorting" 'conspiracy' to be true, you'd have to evidence that the pre-9/11 shorts were no more significant than "normal market long + shorting behaviour". Your theory may be correct, IDK, but I'd love to get clarity either which way. Seriously, opinion porn does not help your attack on the "truthers".
