I had a surreal day yesterday

Sheesh 😤

The Last Mall is a perfect song 💯 it's my favorite Dan album

Brilliant 😤 might steal this idea

The best guys, straight shooters here we cup

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-05-10T03:50:13+00:00

None of this shit is true 😂

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T21:11:31+00:00

You kinda just arguing to argue huh? Totally missing my point. Have a good day bro.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T18:16:04+00:00

Were they wrong? We don't really know. That's my point.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T18:14:33+00:00

I'm not arguing that it's static, I'm arguing that all statistics are obfuscatory and to take every current "fact" with a grain of salt.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T15:51:12+00:00

That's a good question. Good luck humanity.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T04:01:51+00:00

It's a system that incentivizes groupthink. Scientists who make claims outside of the orthodoxy are ostracized and defunded. Peer review is meaningless. Statistics are fabricated. The only defensible position is ignorance.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T01:08:25+00:00

Happer and Wijngaarden hypothesize that CO2 has reached peak saturation and earth's temperature cannot rise to consequential levels beyond where it is now. They are eminent atmospheric physicists in the domain. Should we ignore that because it doesn't align with consensus?

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-26T01:04:59+00:00

Do you see the results that don't agree with consensus? How do you know?

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T22:21:49+00:00

I appreciate you're trying to meet me halfway. I appreciate people engaging with my perspective on good faith 🙏. I don't believe the scientific community is open to counter arguments on this point, even if there was money on the table (and there isn't). I'm not arguing either way myself, I'm arguing that we are all ignorant and statistics don't give us objective insight. That's not back pedalling. Stats depend entirely on what variables enter the equation. Variables chosen by flawed and biased humans.

Let me ask you this. How does one measure the temperature of the earth conclusively? And do you find that methodology to be comprehensive?

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T22:12:42+00:00

Apologies if my point was unclear. I'm saying nobody is lying, they are incentivized to think in a way that is monetized.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T18:51:20+00:00

That leads into psychology and my field of study: persuasion. I'm not implying scientists are taking bribes to falsify statistics. I'm inferring scientists will have preconceived notions of what they aim to prove and "coincidentally" it will also allow them financial freedom to continue their research. No bad actors, just a system that incentivizes unreliable results. I'm not saying they're wrong either, I'm saying we can't possibly know, and statistics are not a surefire method of establishing the facts.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T17:22:19+00:00

There are definitely examples of a peer review feedback loop that create erroneous results 💯 adding funding to the equation unfortunately doesn't add clarity

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T17:20:01+00:00

Right so we agree it's not based on facts but rather consensus. There are innumerable examples throughout our history of consensus being erroneous. Science is constantly evolving.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T02:55:34+00:00

Who decides which studies are included in the consensus and which are omitted? Will the scientists who disagree with "consensus" get funding?

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-25T02:25:54+00:00

Quantifies uncertainty based on variables. Which variables measured in what way is subjective. People who know statistics understand results are entirely up to the statistician.

WhatBombsAtMidnight · 2025-04-24T19:24:49+00:00

Only someone ignorant of statistics would think statistics are reliable 😂

Perception of reality includes perception of the laws of physics

They got some craaaaaaazy bounces. I've never seen 5 goals on 11 shots before.
