So the #eu have decided for their people, without a #vote or #consultation , that they will now put #ground #crickets #secretly into #food , because the " #science says to do it": https://www.zerohedge.com/political/crus.. They also rececently #approved #mealworm . #packaging does not need to #disclose those. *Fucking disgusting.* What if it #conflcits with your personal #beliefs , or you are #alergic ? No, the #science says #eatthebugs . Fuck them.
I have been #enjoying the #waroftheworlds #series from 2019 recently. I quite like the #idea of people #surviving an #apocalypse . The #science in it hasn't been insanely bad either, it seems reasonably well #researched and the #specialeffects have been reasonable.
A great list of #science and #technology #links https://lemire.me/blog/2022/08/07/scienc.. Notably, #alzheimer #research on the #amyloid #hypothesis was #fabricated . #depression was supposed to be low #serotonin - but this is #false . Due to #carbondioxide abundance, the #earth is getting #greener and will likely lead to #substantial #cooling .
I can definitely #vouch for the #benefits of #keto https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article.. Glad to see #modern #science finally catching up.
Great #youtube #video by #backreaction about #public #fights in #science http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2022/02.. Many of the fights are much less #epic and public, but arguably just as important. There are many #opinionated #scientists in #ai for example, and in #retrospect we will see who was right...
I think #youtube have stepped over the mark by #censoring #senator #randpaul - somebody who has been very fairly #sceptical of the entire #covid #pandemic in a way that *is* backed by #science and #data https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/08/11/y.. The #comment #thread over on #hackernews spreads for *many* pages: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281..
This was very cool and is how #science should be done: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/02/10-000-p.. If you really believe something, make a #wager and perform a #experiment to prove it.
