Most people cannot analyze data.

And the left can’t meme.

Globalists decided that science was just another ticket to ride to produce propaganda under false color of authority. Psychopathic degenerates hold the purse strings.

Science has been given a black eye by political and corporate interests. It's been happening forever, but this time maybe people will realize that science is never "settled." Never trust a single "study" on any topic.

Science is a disciplined organized search for facts. and not facts themselves. facts constantly change with better instrumentation and more knowledge.

The main problem is, many things in Physics and Chemistry are settled, and will never change. Other sciences like to portray themselves as having achieved the same accomplishments. It's the equivalent of Lebron James at age 12 proclaiming, he's as legit as Michael Jordan.

Yes. Economics did that by inventing the 'math' called Econometrics. Paul Krugman got his non-Nobel Nobel Price in Economics for an esoteric econometrics equation, for example.

But the study is not a science no matter what they say.


Economics is the most bastardized version of mathematical modeling you will ever see. They take the entire macroeconomy and try to model it as 3 variables, one of which is fixed.

AS we know it now. Remember the 'aether'?



Or that plate tectonics was considered odd-ball and ridiculous for decades, only accepted well into the 1950s as 'mainstream consensus'

Macroeconomics tries to quantify the unquantifiable into 2D graphs.

No Physics and Chemistry are not settled, never will be, there is continuous change, always will be. That is science!
That said, Other sciences like to portray themselves as having achieved the same accomplishments. And they are not there. Many are pseudo-sciences.
Economics did that by inventing the 'math' called Econometrics. I got slammed and praised in a paper for stating something like Economic conclusions are apiori determined by the economists starting beliefs. Econometrics just dresses the conclusions in mathematical equations to make them look inescapable.

True science is falsifiable, controversial areas are never agreed by consensus, and is always and necessarily subject to vigorous debate.

Fake science for social control is never falsifiable, always has a majority consensus with controversy persecuted, and is never subject to debate.

I think it's called statistics which was also invented by mathematicians.

See LaPlace's contribution to it ...

What is the cliche- There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

This is true.

I've met some of them. They are rich and degenerate because they are psychopaths. Maybe sociopath is the right word. Anyway, they really do not give a shit who they hurt to get what they want.

Some traits that seem spot on:

disregarding or violating the rights of others
inability to distinguish between right and wrong
difficulty with showing remorse or empathy
tendency to lie often
manipulating and hurting others
general disregard towards safety and responsibility

I saw a study showing that the more complicated the economic model, the less likely it was to make correct predictions.
