Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Be afraid. Be very afraid. Srsly. Not much we can do, except cross our fingers.

I’d welcome to you my country. We have cow science and government might even pay you to prove how cow science works!
There is also a cow god.
And because cow is god it must heal something by anything that it can give.
But there is no cure for stupidity. 🥲

Science lies in its humble acceptance of not knowing it all & Theology gives people @ fence of critical thinking to leap into metaphysics where they call it their culture/ beliefs/God. I concur with you. Theology frequently serves as a tool for pseudoscience disguised in the veil of metaphysics

Uranium detected in breastmilk samples in Bihar, 70% of infants at risk: Study A recent study flagged the presence of uranium in the breastmilk of lactating mothers across several districts in Bihar.

This is India’s youngest and sadly the poorest state. Its insane that all the samples tested positive!? Imagine the risks and the level of exposure. Above all, the sheer ignorance of authorities

history shows that the ideals of scientific objectivity can be undermined or co-opted. i think its important that scientists actively address the risks of social and political misuse of science. Sci Comm must be political in authoritarian times, anywhere, everywhere

Despite its ideals, science cannot escape its social embedding,When science becomes entangled with state power or social movements that prioritize hierarchy, nationalism, or exclusion, it can be mobilized in support of authoritarian ideologies, including fascism.

While science is defined by objectivity and evidence, its practice is still inevitably shaped by human subjectivity and social factors, which explains why pseudoscience can flourish and skepticism may devolve into uncritical belief or misinformation instead of authentic scientific thinking.

1957 - J B S Haldane speech on unity and diversity | Part 1 | Sardar Patel Memorial Lecture YouTube video by Prasar Bharati Archives

J.B.S Haldane, one of my favourite scientists settled in my country (India). And it is with great regret that i say that a major chunk of STEM graduates of India will not he aware of his works beyond a few line.Here’s a part of his lecture delivered on India’s public radio:

Cover and spine of CRICK, my biography of Francis Crick

Endpapers and inside flap of book

Double page photo of Crick at blackboard with section title The Central Problem

Colour plate showing Crick at Cold Spring Harbor in 1954.

And here we are. Another damn’d thick, square book. A real wrist-sprainer. UK edition (pictured) has endpapers showing Crick and Brenner’s blackboard and colour plates. Both U.K. and US editions have sections heralded by a double page photo as here. Loads of illustrations. Out in November!

India will one day (i hope soon, wishful, i know) have hirings like these. History and philosophy of science are foundational learnings that are entirely absent from mainstrem STEM education in India. What injustice to the beauty of sciences. We have science graduates who dont know Vienna ⭕️existed

I joined this application only to get an update on this book which i knew you were writing and hence was tracking its progress on X. I hope to read it as soon as i can get my hands on it!

I am not sure how this platform works, i am new here, but i think everyone here should read about who is Sonam Wangchuk and what is happening to him.

Thanks

Where did our scientists go?
Where are our philosophers?

I Think, Therefore I Am: Why Philosophy Matters in the Age of AI ddnews.gov.in/en/i-think-t...

With rise of pseudoscience (which imo is a political tool used to dwarf critical thinking in masses by populist leaders) the scientific community debunking, collectivising, and fighting against this absent. Why? I dont know, philosophy is dead and thinking is being outsourced to AI (2/n)

Scientists, Philosophers and Thinkers have historically been profound in anchoring the social realities of our times. Scientists worked against Nazis and philosophers seeded the ideas of rationality, critical thought and dialectics. At present, all of this seems absent. It is concerning (1/n)

Definitely deliberate

The entire anti science narrative which sits in the heart of conservative politics worldwide is a scary phenomenon. Acetaminophen is one of the safest drugs and very effective! Also the throwing of word “autism” in every drug and vaccine debate by science deniers is laughable but again! FDA? Why? 🫥
