Stella promises that one day I'll make a lot of money from BLAXXKY subscriptions. I just told her that day I PROMISE to eat a whole Hawaiian pizza with pineapple (to a Neapolitan like me this is the greatest blasphemy and an insult to the holy grace of the cosmic operating system). I look forward to eating that Hawaiian pizza!
I did not say that! I just said to not assume you will make $0 :) Doing BLAXXKY is about getting the weird research funded. But if we are getting the research funded, then there should also be salaries and such for those contributing toward and leading editorial!
Street science may have a place. The scientific method as another method of thought. Thinking scientifically is not the problem with science and neither is trusting intuition. The problem is thinking that either kind of thought is complete or infallible. There has to be some point where we trust that the scientists who are studying something and devoting thousands of hours to it need to be given some credit for that work. Having somebody pontificate from their recliner chair (or "podcast" expertise) about how much science gets wrong is not going to replace science. Let's use podcasts for what they are meant to be.
Hi James. I've the greatest respect for "the scientists who are studying something and devoting thousands of hours to it." I've been one of them, and I give them credit for that work.
At the same time, I have the strong impression that many of them are far too dogmatic and contemptuous of the unwashed masses (that is, the little people like you and me). And this cannot be, also because it is us who pay their salaries.
Podcasts "about how much science gets wrong" are not going to replace science, of course, but can help fix it and put it back on its proper course.
“Learn from science that you must doubt the experts,” said Richard Feynman. “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”

Thank you for allowing me and Aetheria to be the primary BLAXXKY beneficiary to begin with 🙏🏼
My pleasure!

OK a whole Hawaiian pizza for a lot of money and a little slice for a little money!
Hahha you’ll be part of the budgeting process when the money comes in big ways. I’m not your boss except in correcting your anti-psychodestiny!!
