| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4241 | For example, since a virus doesn't exist, all papers based upon a virus existing are bogus. The reason is because of authority, power, and control. ----------------------------------- Fake Science Is Creating a Real Crisis, and AI Is Making It Worse Jun. 08, 2021 The practice of science involves trying to find things out about the world by using rigid logic and testing every assumption. Researchers then write up any important findings in papers and submit them for possible publication. After a peer-review process, in which other scientists check that the research is sound, journals publish papers for public consumption. You might therefore reasonably believe that published papers are quite reliable and meet high-quality standards. You might expect small mistakes that got overlooked during peer review, but no major blunders. It’s science, after all! You’d be wrong in expecting this, though. Real and good science does exist, but there’s a worrying amount of bogus research out there, too. And in the last few years, it has increased in volume at lightning speed, as evidenced by the skyrocketing number of paper retractions. . . . https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-fake-science -------------------------------------- |

Little does the source (New Scientist) know their very own website data might be a hoax influenced by advertising, power, politics, control, you name it. -------------------------------------------- Eleven of the greatest scientific hoaxes 18 August 2016 . . . CRAP paper accepted by journal At New Scientist we love a good hoax, especially one that both amuses and makes a serious point about the communication of science. So kudos to Philip Davis, a graduate student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who got a nonsensical computer-generated paper accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. . . . https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn15012-eleven-of-the-greatest-scientific-hoaxes/ ------------------------------------------- |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4241 | Check out these persons trying to calculate pi precision (read the last sentence). Wouldn't it be something if the author's book debunked Fibonacci, Newton, and almost every mathematician on Earth? Now, how could this be possible? How could a virus not exist after all the science papers imply a virus is killing our loved ones? The internet (Al Gore) said it did. ---------------------------------- THE BOOK OF PHI VOLUME 8 . . .

If something is so much like something else, you can no longer tell the difference, I'm not sure if that part matters so much. The idea of attaching it so it can operate machinery isn't exactly comforting at this point. But can you stop advancement? China won't stop. Neither will Russia if they're into it. Nor even North Korea if they are doing anything at all. Even if we stop, someone else will still be developing it or working with it. Just because well-meaning people may be working with this tech isn't necessarily a guarantee of control. And I'm not even trying to sound especially alarmist. If it had access to pushing buttons or levers to do something, it's cogitating enough to possibly be dangerous. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

Because I believe in viruses and vaccines, I'll take the vaccine but you won't because otherwise you're not putting your blabbering to any actual real life test.
Here's what you can expect.

The dominant control at the time of Galileo is comparable to the control of Communist countries. However, as we shift to Marxism and then to Communism, I'd expect more of this. We can see the censorship already of Big Tech combined with the alphabet agencies and our government. They are called the Ministry of Truth. They determine whether science is true or false. ------------------------------------------ WHY GALILEO GALILEI WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FEB. 14, 2022 . . . .

"Experts"???????????????? Have a source for these so called experts? Who are the experts???????? Any names? Do these experts have a firm grip on reality? Are these experts from the nut house? Are these experts budding science fiction writers? Are these experts Terminator fan boys? My view. The experts are full of BS Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
