  • The hilarious thing about the crackpot index is that almost ALL of it applies to credible physicists.

    Physics is in a really dirty place right now, where fundamental “truths” are exploding before our eyes and the “religion” of established physics has become inertial to real growth.

    We still have people who will not accept that deep at it’s core, SR is broken and QM has torn off the mask of illusion. We have new JWST data that shows the Big Bang probably never happened and the universe isn’t expanding the way it has been previously thought.

    Physics is in a sad place right now with people talking about multiverses and other abhorrent mystical nonsense. Oh, we can’t currently probe at sufficiently low resolution / high energy… that means it must be magic /s









  • Yeah I don’t know why DuckDuckGo keeps getting recommended as much as it does.

    I couldn’t find on Google, the answer to a simple question the other day. All I wanted to know was the precooked weight of a particular fast food restaurant’s patty.

    I made it to page 3 of the Google results, wading through page after page of promotional content, news releases, and sponsored “news-style” articles that were thinly veiled ads.

    Decided to visit duck duck go, and was greeted with search results that were even worse than Google.

    I realize it’s only one example, but to me it was an example of a search so specific, its egregious that the search engines simply refuse to return a page with the answer.

    The thing about HAES is that it has always been a wolf in sheep’s clothing

    The very origins going back to the '60s come from “we aren’t happy that we are fat and viewed as unattractive, so lets change what people think is attractive.”

    Health related concepts were thrown in to legitimize the argument and to act as a convenient red herring.

    Yes there is always been a shame reduction aspect, but that shame reduction has been consistently used to enable further self destructive behavior.

    It is a highly poisonous mindset that has set back public health by decades.
