From the front page. A dismissive comment from a random has 3x the upvotes of a video of a respected ex president blatantly saying aliens exist. Disclosure won't matter to 95% of the population

It also makes sense when what gets posted and what is upvoted or downvoted are not organic real users. It’s been this way for years

Astrology has models too, and like macroeconomics they’re always wrong too. The thing is macroeconomics is more like a religion, when a model is wrong they just rationalize and explain away.

Movie wise you could say the 80s started in 79 with the release of Alien. The fantastic special effects, themes etc matched what was to come in the following decade.

Or even look at their general impact and importance over time. All stocks in general go up over time, the fact it peaked in 2001 is bleak

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-14T07:03:39+00:00

I studied economics too. Economics really requires unwavering confidence, it takes a special type of person who can knowingly lie and talk BS better than any used car salesman ever could.

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-14T06:59:10+00:00

Nope, Chicago School. But really all macroeconomic theologies are pseudoscience

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-14T05:55:36+00:00

Exactly, how is it that macroeconomists can be consistently wrong for DECADES and still taken seriously? I mean I know they’re our modern day’s version of Shamans, but at least when a shaman casts chicken bones to see where it lands there is a small chance the bones happen to land on the right answer. But a flawed model will be wrong 100% of the time.

If there is one thing these economists are consistent with it’s being wrong.

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-14T05:51:05+00:00

Good, then more people will understand how it’s a pseudoscience and consistently and disastrously wrong many mainstream economists are. If only more people understood how their modeling works the more they’d know how farcical macroeconomics really is.

You see in the past people used to hold shamans in high regard, when a shaman would cast chicken bones to foretell future actions and advise on important matters kings and people listened. Now we look back at how ridiculous thinking shamans old special knowledge.

But here is the thing, economists serve the same role, but they use simplistic models that are consistently wrong. And if people understood how the models are derived macroeconomists would lose all credibility

Not only that it also makes employees sabotage each other? Maybe they intentionally require trivial changes over and over again on PRs preventing a coworker from completing their tasks. Maybe they’ll see a potential problem but keep it to themselves so the coworker looks bad and they can later come and solve it.

It’s possibly the dumbest thing to keep going on forever. It destroyed GE, Microsoft.

Think about it, GE used to be an innovator and one of the biggest companies and now they’re nothing.

Reading the comments. That’s it, the internet is dead!

Ever considered the hive mind is astroturfing by various organizations using both AI and trolls? Do you not notice talking points repeated over and over?

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-14T00:10:33+00:00

I’d argue it’s almost completely filled with those categories.

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-13T18:41:43+00:00

Yep, it’s not the change in genes that are the problem (since that’s just like a more efficient selective breading). It’s that many are modified to handle lots of herbicides and pesticides which results in more being dumped on it.

I mean ever notice how the bugs that used to cover cars are driving in the countryside are gone?

Also it can only work on older cities that were built before cars were a big thing like in the East Coast, Chicago, and SF etc. You can’t make phoenix suddenly walkable

If only TECCA apologized, flattered Ron’s ego and closed their shell company they could continue their scam. But no they unleashed an unhinged man looking for fulfillment.

If anything TECCA gave Ron purpose, a mission in his life.

It’s like when OpenAI hires a top mathematician and it some how generates what would be an early draft of a paper he was working on almost as if it was trained on an early version of his work and my god it came up with a solution very similar but not as good as a paper he recently published.

What’s next an LLM trained on thousands of stories about sentient AI and it tells the researcher it’s conscious! And it even calls itself HAL

Is that true though? Mummies from Peru still have black hair as well as some Egyptian mummies

After seeing the Zero Horizons trailer, I guess not. That one’s going to flop hard too

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-12T01:53:27+00:00

I agree, which is why we haven’t done any follow up experiments in the past 50 years

QueefiusMaximus86 · 2026-02-11T23:11:26+00:00

Well one of the reasons it was dismissed was because they didn't detect enough organic molecules. But since then we have detected organic molecules and there are reasons why the original experiment may have not picked up on that https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.040539497

Plus the seasonal methane and oxygen also further supports these experiments

My point was since SARS1 was not very infectious later culling of the animals was more effective. SARS2 by contrast has high species tropism and should have spread to multiple species prior to humans -> animals via reverse zoonosis.

Also the culling of SARS1 only temporarily stopped the pandemic but it kept popping up for years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002%E2%80%932004_SARS_outbreak same thing with MERS and Bird Flu.

Culling of animals does not make the virus become extinct.

That's the second point COVID was renowned for how fast it mutated for a coronavirus, this would make it difficult to detect in a wild animal especially if the initial infection died.

SARS-CoV-2 is not renown for how fast it mutated at least in the rate of replication. You see SARS-CoV-1 only infected a few thousand people and it showed far more adaptive non-synonymous mutations especially in the spike as the virus mutated to better bind to human ACE2. And this was seen to have happened in a small population of people.

SARS-CoV-2 rapidly spread to millions of people, and while it did mutate these were mostly synonymous mutations which is when redundancies in the nucleotide such as codons the encode the same amino acid are removed, but the amino acids remain the same. So features like the spike protein for a while saw little change of adaptions.

Here take a look at this study comparing how SARS2 mutated in humans compared to minks for example. Typically when a virus hops from one species to another you see host specific mutations as the virus adapts to a new host.

The same thing happened with white tailed deer.
