Key word – adaptable – just look at all the DIY vids on the net.
Especially American Ingenuity, talk about KEY.
I’m not going to worry about that. You know what I worry about? Taxes. One year I payed 17,000 dollars in taxes to the fed. There are a million things wrong with this — and not one fucking thing right about it.
If the left’s activists are good at anything it’s the ability to sell lies. GW is almost universally accepted by the younger generations and therefore those that take a more rational approach are attacked as heretics.
Life is difficult enough without the constant deluge of manufactured calamities these evil cretins infuse into society.
Someone at some point will find a effective way to expose these patterns and marginalize this insanity but it hasn’t happened yet.
Anon – yer doing it wrong. I got drunk on tax day and did my own taxes.
I should be getting a four million dollar refund back any day now…
“You have to figure out how to fund science in a way that there are no incentives to artificially promoting things.”
“Artificially promoting things?”
How bout “promoting lies?”
The FedGov has little business “promoting things” in general and absolutely none in promoting out-and-out lies.
The Feds throw money around like confetti – mostly because those who distribute it don’t have any notion from whence it comes – having never done an honest day of work in their lives. People who majored in drunken-ness and licentiousness and minored in “science history” are put in charge of handing out money. Most of them have no idea what they’re funding.
“Scrimp on a Treadmill,” “Anthropogenic Globaloney Warming,” “Somalian Penis Washing Techniques,” and “Middle-Eastern Left-Handed Ass-Wiping With Sand” are the types of things which are “studied.”
Probably 90% of “research” is utterly useless – and the “peer reviewers” are aware of it, but say nothing because they fear that their “research” projects will be shoved aside – or worse, ignored, and left unfunded – one hand washing the other, so to speak – while the taxpayers are fleeced and the Universities enrich themselves beyond all proportion to their “scientific” contributions.
At a large East Coast University, the Physics Dept. was second only to Football in producing revenue. The overwhelming preponderance of that revenue was from the FedGov funneled through the NSA, DoD, DARPA, &c. And most of the “research” was worthless.

Anon: He is speaking to how the govt “justified” robbing you of $17k.
“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that. ”

The peer-reviewed journals also profit indirectly from the government (i.e., taxpayer) largesse. The entire industry depends on silly academics publishing questionable study results financed by federal grants. The whole thing is nothing but a damned racket.
I posted the following on the Ann Coulter site a few years ago. It’s funny and worth a read, if I do say so myself.
Scientists say Zombies are “For Real”.
A group of scientists and doctors from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine released a scientific article today entitled “Zombies – Fact or Fiction?”.
The article is the result of a year long study of the regeneration of human life after death has thought to have been established. The group of scientists received a grant of 2.3 million dollars from the National Academy of Sciences and the Rockefeller Foundation.
The scientists worked closely with Dr. Oliver Toussaint of New Orleans, who has worked in the human life regeneration field for over 30 years. Dr. Toussaint is also the pastor of the Life Regeneration Living Rock Church in New Orleans, and leader of the movement that goes by the same name. Some critics have labelled Dr. Toussaint a “Witch Doctor”, but Dr. Toussaint’s movement has received 4.5 million dollars in grant money every year since 2009 from the US Government’s Department of Health and Human Services.
In a press conference today, Dr. Alan Weisenheimer, the leader and spokesperson of the University of Pennsylvania group, told reporters that the first thing mankind needs to do is to recognize that death is very complicated: “We see death as multi-phased and think there are at least three stages – Death-Con 1, Death-Con 2, and Death-Con 3. In Death-Con 1, a person can be brought back to life, Death-Con 2 is iffy and requires a lot more study. Death-Con 3 is after major decomposition has set in, and bringing back life to a rotting corpse is problematical, if not impossible. But with Dr. Toussaint’s help, we have made a lot of strides in our understanding.”
During an experiment at New Orleans General Hospital in February, the U of P group were eyewitnesses to Dr. Toussaint’s successful attempt to bring a man back to life. A 47 year old African-American man had been pronounced dead 3 days prior to the experiment, from a combination of factors including heart disease, clogged arteries, and high blood pressure. The U of P first established that the man was truly dead by modern medical standards by observing that the man was not breathing, had no blood pressure or pulse, etc., then let Dr. Toussaint proceed with his “life regeneration” methods. Dr. Toussaint began by chanting over the corpse, which he explained as “Island/Haitian/Creole folkloric incantations” and sprinkling “life-awareness herbs” on his face. After 30 seconds, the U of P team noticed the man’s neck muscles and eyelids moving. As Dr. Weisenheimer explained: “The man’s eyes opened up wide and he sat bolt upright. Then, he got up off the gurney and stumbled around. He actually bumped into me. None of us thought he was still dead. We were speechless. After a few more minutes, he collapsed. Somehow we knew then he was really dead and beyond even Dr. Toussaint’s help. We were all elated at Dr. Toussaint’s experiment, except Dr. Toussaint himself. He said he’s kept people alive for months and even years after death, but this was a difficult case, because the man had a very weak “elemental life spirit”.
Dr. Weisenheimer explained that his group was confident that no trickery had been used. The U of P group was also pleased that Dr. Toussaint appears to be very professional with an excellent head for scientific study: “We noticed that the doctor didn’t use any religious mumbo-jumbo, crosses, bibles, and so forth. Dr. Toussant’s ‘elemental life spirit’ concept has a foundation in real science. We know that electrical impulses remain in the body for a considerable time after death. It’s a matter of finding that tiny flame, fanning it, and giving it some more fuel. That’s real life regeneration”.
Dr. Weisenheimer said he was looking forward to continued funding and support from the US Government to pursue the important work in the “life regeneration” sciences. “Death is all too common. We want to tell death to Take a Hike”, Dr. Weisenheimer said.
That’s so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve read anything such as this before. So pleasant to obtain somebody with some primary thoughts on this matter. Really thank you for beginning this up.
