RFK Jr’s attack on science has close parallels to Lysenko’s attack on genetic in Soviet Russia.

Speak in populist press, not journals
Make quick solution to problems
Blame failures on internal enemies

He needed a supporting anti-elitist government

A good podcast

Good podcast to introduce claims of link between autism and Tylenol (acetaminophen) and why studies claiming there is a link overlooked critical variables.

From what I’ve read I agree that there is no link. The podcast also says this. Perhaps I should’ve been clearer and said that the podcast discusses the various studies of whether or not there is a link. It concludes that there is not and that studies that claim there is overlooked other factors.

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a FB page but there is another hosted by Interstellar Inc. That is a Digital Content Creator’s site consistent as are people allowed to post. Most posts are benign and left leaning. Others are factually false. Does NDT approves this site?

The only thing that might convince them of their error is another pandemic.

Trump knows how bad an epidemic can be for him. Yet he’s allowing us to unprepared for a variety of pandemics and outbreaks.

In 1994 Ukraine gave up its nuclear arms for assurances from Russia, UK and USA that their sovereignty would be protected. Russia reneged.

So if Trump wants peace in Ukraine, he should demand Russia return their nukes or else he should give them some. MAD works.

It seems so simple and has a natural analog. I hope it is researched to determine pros and cons. This should be part of an unbiased exploration of all options.

I don’t like SOx injection in the stratosphere because it doesn’t remove CO2 and rebounds fast when stopped.

Is the contribution of minerals in the Sahara dust towards growth of plankton established? Does this support adding minerals to barren Ocean regions to encourage CO2 fixing?
