Keep paying attention when a “ground breaking” discovery is made. The findings are usually not replicated. That’s just how science (and media) works.

“Natural selection favors AI over humans.” Can we stop with this silly take? Seriously stop. In a time when science is so misunderstood, such statements make it worse.

“Obsolete technologies are no longer technologies.” Hmmm… I’m not sure I agree.

“Evidence-based practices” are only effective if the evidence isn’t fabricated.

I know it a small detail, but it’s kind of important.

“I can’t imagine being so fragile that I can’t accept reality.” Of course, todays it seems we can’t agree on what is real, and that isn’t good for us.
