I know you hate this kind of logic. But... If rising CO2 levels trigger cognitive impairment, you should be wary of everything else you think is triggered by rising CO2 levels. Bec…

They're probably incentivized towards erring in favor of false positive results (in order to avoid liabilities) thereby contributing to the panic element around this virus.

> Einstein, Dirac, Pauli It sure helps to be dead by now. Try James Watson for a really motivating example.

A good idea if you want your personal relationships poisoned.

The guy has been doing the TED circuit for ages. I once looked closer at his claims and his supposed proof by simulation and came to agree with the more negative takes at https://n…

Controlled compromise of privacy for the sake of scientific insight seems like a good idea, until you realize that we either get profoundly non-replicable junk "science", or contin…

I don't think we can simply assume that starting position matters to "pulverization" after 1500 years. Mobility is more likely; the mobile object moves along with the ice, the stat…

Going on title and comments only, sorry, but why does "it's genetic" count as an explanation for anything? An explanation for this would need ecology. Why is it beneficial for some…

Wouldn't Elsevier be able to legally link to Elsevier IP on SciHub even if you can't?

You realize it's problematic to emphasize typos, right? (Thanks, would edit if I could.)

Not to take away from the side splitting hilariousness of this novel meme, but I just noticed Lisp is actually one of the few languages where you can't add spurious parentheses. If…

You realize that the OP's concerns actually intesify if the author in question is perceived as an authority on the topic, right?

> if 18 months comes and goes and it isn’t the end of the world No reason for concern. If failed climate prophecies had any effect, climate prophecies would be out of fashion by no…

Do you read your own comments? (Asking for a logician friend...)
