Aha! THIS is ideal science:
CURIOSITY, clear communication,
respect (actual) corrections from anywhere,
honest effort to test and learn, and
share what you know with anyone interested.

It's not easy, but these are each necessary. I'm using 'science' here like STEM or STEAM.
So I broadly refer to a scientific method but also engineering expertise, mathematical review, and humanities' impact on supporting any of this to happen at all.

Ignoring currency hoarding by money addicts, the rest of us are here to enjoy contentment.
We can make real discoveries, inventions, and connect ideas to find useful applications.

(Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.)

@rozeboosje (I just assumed it was German? aaaa I am terrible at placing accents tho.) Frustrating af part is she clearly has an axe to grind with physics / academia and so do I.

It's possible I might have *more* reason to feel spurned unjustly, since mine is "systemic ableism led to late diagnosis, but I didn't get even the minimal support I was offered and accepted".

But I still stick to my vision of a better life for everyone I can help because that's... the only thing worth doing?

beep.

Semi-related: I need to do a basic layperson's guide to science set of videos. A bit like Minute Physics or CGP Grey, but about 'null hypothesis' (which I still need to learn, tbh) and 'a control group'.

Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.

It sounds like Sabine Hossenfelder is inaccurately diagnosing (some) real problems (and some false ones) as being scientists' fault directly.
The problems are a capitalist (profit-focused) failure of resource allocation. This includes a structure of education that incentivises "work-ready" skills over critical analysis.
You don't need to be an expert! Literally just encouraged to try, fail, learn, and try again.
THAT is 'science' -- not the scientific method (precisely) nor the institution of scientific research on a given scale of human organisation.

Techno-Wellness crank and professional narcissist is allegedly a dick to his employees, who knew?!

I'm with that lady making dogs live three times their lifespan, seems like the better approach to Longevity than that huckster. Also, long lived dogs,yayy!

The Nerd Reich · Bryan Johnson, 'Don't Die' Network State Guru, Under FireBryan Johnson gained wide fame as the subject of a recent Netflix documentary. But now his carefully crafted image may be cracking

"Farage has made at least nine trips abroad, including eight to the US, since he was elected MP for Clacton in Essex last July, with many of them either funded by donors or undertaken for paid employment such as speeches." 🐸

The Guardian · Nigel Farage to speak at Trump fundraiser after 800 hours of non-MP work since electionBy Rowena Mason

He has no idea. He is geographically illiterate. Lookit this answer by Donald in the Zelensky Oval Office presser. Donald is bluffing his way through; winging it.

He has no idea but of course, he can't admit that; zero depth of knowledge.

It is so humiliating that THIS is the American president.
