I wonder what these anesthesia trials were about where they were able to identify “zombies”.

it was always my assumption that there are basically no studies that are truly free of outside influence so I assume that vast majority are bullshit to varying degrees

If you are bored google "Sokal Affair" and "Sokal Squared Hoax." The former was an attempt to get random shit published by academic journals. He wrote papers using random multisyllable words and got them published.

The Sokal Squared hoax upped the ante and submitted the most ridiculous papers to be published in academic journals. I read the papers on Dog Park Rape Culture and the feminist one that was just a copy and paste of "Mein Kampf." They were both hilarious.

I am not shocked. Most research is done by Universities. Most research is done with federal money. Look at what universities are and then think about the game played to ensure federal money flows into your facility.

My wife was offered a position at a university as head of a department. There are a few reasons why she didn’t take the job. Two of those were that they had just been hit with a huge federal fine and essentially the entire department was canned. The second was that she wanted to run the department the way she thought fit and they wanted things done to ensure federal research money kept flowing.

Dunning Kruger, for one example. Based on a completely idiotic premise. Now used as an argument cancelation card, by people who don't know what ti was based on, and not fought back against because no one wants to admit they don't know what it is.

It has recently been "discovered" that about 70% of psychological trials don't reproduce the same results. over 90% of environmental science is blatantly false.

Any time I hear scientific consensus, that lets me know that the science is bull shit.
Other clues are:

"The science is settled." No, it isn't. Ever.

And,

"These are theories that have been proven beyond all doubt!" Nope. The people who wrote that just illustrated they don't know what a theory is, or understand the scientific method.

And,

"Thousands of scientists worked on this for decades, spending billions, so it has to be true!" Again: not how it works.

That is so funny because the people that trot out Dunning Kruger are in fact flagging themselves as guilty of the purported Dunning Kruger effect. They are only superficially aware of the phenomena and think it sounds impressive so they throw it down like it is some sort of mic drop. If they actually knew anything about DK they would know it is bullshit.

"The science is settled" shit annoys the hell out of me. Far too many people treat science like a religion – at which point it becomes scientism. "The science is settled" is one of those things that dullards say when they're trying to pretend to be smart, in a ham-fisted attempt to garner some of the social capital that comes along with being perceived as "intelligent." Joke's on them.

Speaking of which, I'm a standup comic, and I wrote a joke about it that links two of my other bits:

I think the most annoying thing that people say during online arguments is "the science is settled." That's now how science works. Our understanding of the universe is constantly evolving.

At one point in human history, we thought that the sun revolved around us.

Then we learned that the world revolves around the sun.

Now, we know that the world actually revolves around white women.

Where's the plane that hit the Pentagon?! People look at the low frame rate video and go against what they see and believe what they are told. Why? Because the gubment said so. This is the same government that stole the election last year. And started fake wars overseas including Vietnam. People need to wake up and realize they might as well be living in the Matrix because most of what you have been taught is BS. Only back then they were better at hiding it. Now it is blatant and in your face!

WW1 and WW2 were banker wars. Churchill had a terrible gambling addiction and his debt was bought up. Then he starts ramping up rhetoric against Germany. Meanwhile on the other side the same assholes that funded Churchill funded Hitler. They also created resentment in the Germans after holding Germany responsible for WW1 @ Versailles - which Germany did not even start! The whole thing was a setup. Just like the supposed attempt on Whitmer in Michigan.

It Was a Set-Up: FBI Used at Least 12 Informants in Whitmer Kidnapping Case With Only 6 Defendants

So all these European nations go and fight and kill each other (might as well be cousins killing each other). And what's the end result? European women can now be raped and murdered by third world migrants who incidentally were sent to Europe by the same assholes / cockroaches that started the two World Wars. Wake the **** up morons!
