Jutta Leerdam geniet van dubbel olympisch succes: ‘Er zijn veel toekomstvragen, maar ik ben nu in het moment’ Jutta Leerdam schaatste zondag in Milaan naar het zilver op de 500 meter. Dat ze het af zou leggen tegen winnares Femke Kok had de olympisch kampioene al verwacht. ‘Maar dit is heel bijzonder.’

Je wint geen zilver, je verliest goud. Het had jullie gesierd om niet een influencer, maar een bescheiden winnaar te interviewen. Klaar met de #Leerdam #mediahype. www.volkskrant.nl/sport/jutta-...

Some media outlets in the UK should watch & listen to MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell (USA), to summerise & then print, the real facts about how the release of the Epstein files came to happen.

COLD FUSION: How Two Scientists & The Media Created a FALSE Revolution What if you could solve the world's energy crisis with a simple jar of water on your kitchen table? In 1989, two scientists announced they had done just that, promising a future of unlimited, clean energy. The world held its breath. Was this a scientific blockbuster or the most embarrassing flop in modern history? This is the definitive story of the Fleischmann-Pons cold fusion controversy, a media firestorm that promised a revolution but delivered a lesson in bad science. But this isn't just about a failed experiment. It's a deep dive into the dangerous psychology that fueled the frenzy. We expose the hidden forces that can corrupt even the most brilliant minds: The Psychology of Hope: We explore how our desperate desire for a miracle can blind us to the facts, and how "Hope Theory" explains our need to believe in a pathway to our goals, even when there isn't one. The "Publish or Perish" Disease: We reveal how the immense pressure on academics to publish groundbreaking work can lead to rushed announcements, compromised research, and a complete breakdown of academic integrity. Cognitive Biases: We'll show you how confirmation bias and other mental shortcuts led scientists and journalists alike to see what they wanted to see in the data. This is a cautionary tale about how hope, ambition, and media hype can create a perfect storm of scientific delusion. Ready to separate the hope from the hype? Hit play, subscribe, and share this with anyone who loves a good story about how science can go spectacularly wrong.

For everyone who keeps saying AVs will reach Level 5 in 2025 (or the years before that), so we should deploy them everywhere. It’s real tech but it’s been overhyped through the years. Give it time.
