And my definition of a crank/charlatan is along the old categorization of “TV economist”, someone like 1) Molyneux, self-styled as “philosopher”, 2) the many self-styled economists or finance experts, only from engaging YouTube viewers. Or authors from pop books.My books are NOT pop books. They are original scholarly essays. The INCERTO is not a pop book

The BS model: Science => Technology => Practice. Historically, the truth: Practice =>Technology =>”Scientific” misattribution @paulg Know How vs. Know What A truth is that, as much as we enjoy counterintuitive intellectual puzzles, our world owes a lot more to the Teslas than to the Einsteins. Engineers would have figured out the time discrepancies without asking questions. The reverse doesn’t work.

WARS ag. BS + Finance-w/o-SITG [Closed] + Monsanto [Closed] + Covid deniers [Closed] + IQ [Closed] + Riad Ponzi [Closed] + #bitdiots [Closing] + BS finance models [Closing] + BS problty in soc science (Pinker, Philtherat, Sunstein, Thaler, etc.) [Open] + Arabists/AntiMed [Open]

Meanwhile, #Monsanto shills are still operating. They go for the young to indoctrinate them. Typical profile: some nonscientist using the argument “because science”.

BS buster: Bitcoin is ZERO SUM (actually negative sum after mining costs). The person who wrote the “study” has no clue about finance. 4$bn in #BTC profits means that some suckers bought them and are now sucking wind. Imbecile, companies make money, generate earnings, use proceeds to invest, etc. An equity price is a discounted thingy. The stock market is not ZERO-SUM. Why do so many #BitDiots on this thread not get that ONLY Ponzis are zero-sum?

Historians bullshit about numbers.

By definition, if you are trying to measure your success, you are unsuccessful; and if you are trying to measure your happiness, you are unhappy.

There must be a word to describe a commentary that applies to any situation: you don’t need to know anything abt the person to utter the criticism (sim. to psychol. accusing their critics of having problems w/their father.) What shd it be called?

Fuck, no! Was not pro, open-minded BEFORE the RCT. I am A scientist not a partisan. Nobel Shnobel. This is statistically-driven science not expert opinion. If Ivermectin works, results MUST show in (properly ran) Randomized Controlled Trials. If RCT don’t show results, the opinions of 2,191 Nobel prize winners don’t count. Gabish?

People who pathologized those who worried about Covid in January are now giving advice on how to deal with it.
