Experts in drilling oil wells do not have an extended knowledge on Earth's climate mechanisms, and usually they don't even make reports about this subject. When they do, it is seen suspiciously because it is not their domain of ex

Yeah it's a little bit like saying that Copernicus was lying about the Solar System. In the end, the aim of the Daily Sceptic seems more to undermine and weaken (by discrediting them) the ways of action that exist to address the curren

The one with "researcher" title is one of those who spent most of their life learning about the subject, comparing and simulating different theories, and weighing the odds using statistical models, which by the way is also why the

If they attack positions that are widely recognized as scientific consensuses, then they clearly are NOT pro-science. I'd say further, the clearest sign that somebody or some organisation is not listening to science, is that they are a

Science is knowledge on a subject, boosted by the use of logic. Once you see that, very hard not to be pro-it.

The tone of the article is "ohlolo Bill Gates is evil, look at how he is the one who finances thus controls the WHO", which is false, as this financial contribution gives him ZERO control on it. Yet it is implied in the tone of th

I'm just not sad about it lol, that's all. I agree with the "big principle" that they should have access to basic internet services, in theory. But I also think that there should be laws forbidding anti-science and consp

The Daily Sceptic is such a piece of shit, I try very hard to feel sad but I can't. I know that it's a question of big principles etc... but still.

Consciousness in itself is an empty word, there are many definitions of it, and, most importantly, each definition equates it to a set of properties that you can test separately. Such tests show that some arthropods rank high on the scale o

Just to give you a blow of reality check, an octopus is considered as least as smart (including sociability and all) as a cat. If not even more, considering its capacity for problem-solving. I see intelligence/consciousness as orthogon

You'd be surprised by the level of consciousness of e.g. octopuses.

Wasps are fascinating smart, eusocial animals. We should study them, admire them, but not kill or eat them. Yeah for the record I'm vegan.

The mass of hobby miners NOT running at a datacenter-scale was probably enough to empty stores, which was the point of the original comment.
