The emperor’s new clothes is a fairy tale... we should know this because when the kid points out how the emperor is naked everyone wakes up and realised just how stupid they were. In real life we gag the child and continue with our shared delusions
Working on chapter 8 yesterday and today. In order to write chapter 8, I had to design: - An atmospheric extraction process for gas giant planets. - A space station, with spin gravity, designed to support this process. - A method for spacecraft to dock with toroids which…
For a change of pace, here's a joke from Communist Poland. Wlodek wants to deposit his money, saved carefully in a mattress, to the bank. He walks in. Wlodek: "I want to make sure my 50 zlotys are safe. What happens if someone robs the bank?" Banker: "No worries. The main…

Covid scam was TOPS-DOWN - never, ever fall for propaganda that suggests it was 'emergent' or 'spontaneous' - that nonsense is a path to learned helplessness and lets the perpetrators off scot-free....to do it again:
Also I worked in TV news for 20 years but then left in 2013, after being hurt by 2 Pharma products… so when Covid hit, bc I was already known by former news colleagues as a vocal Pharma skeptic (bc of new Pharma related info I’d learned), they started calling me, concerned about…
AI is "just a search engine". Well, no. GPT suggested this link👏. Check if a “rural” station is actually urban or rural? Look it up. @BerkeleyEarth doesn't. If there’s built-up🟥 land, cropland🟧, or seasonal snow, that station is 100% useless❌ for GHG climate monitoring.
Perfect real estate alignment again. Funny how the “heatwave” always knows where the real estate and farmland are. You can forecast the heatwave shape directly from satellite urbanization layers and cadaster maps.
