Discussion on Truth and Science

Without further ado, please join me in welcoming to the stage

John Clauser, two

thousand twenty-two Nobel Prize winner in Physics.

I assert that real truth can only be

found by observing natural phenomena.

The current world is saturated with pseudoscience, with bad science, with

scientific misinformation and disinformation,

and what I will call techno

cons. Perception of truth frequently differs

significantly from real

truth. Moreover, given sufficient promotion and

advertising,

perception of truth becomes truth.

Its, its promotion by commercial enterprise

is called marketing.

You can change truth.

You can claim false observations if necessary.

My favorite in this act is ChatGPT.

It's very good at doing exactly that.

It has, uh, lots of man-made pseudoscience to copy and

manipulate and emulate. It can lie and

cheat even better than its human mentors.

Recently, the Nobel Foundation has formed a new

panel to address the issue

called the International Panel on Information Environment.

They plan to model it after the UN's International Panel on

Climate Change, the IPCC.

I think personally that they are making a big mistake in

that effort because in my

opinion, the IPCC is one of the worst sources of

dangerous misinformation. I believe that the climate change

is not a crisis.

Real truth could be found if and only if you learn to recognize and

use good science. It's especially true when real truth is

politically incorrect and does not reflect political business

aims or

desires of leaders. Regarding climate change, I think

the

dominant process, I believe, has been misidentified by factors of two

hundred.

Their lack of scientific knowledge allows science and pseudoscience to promote what

I will refer to as techno cons, political opportunistic aims.

Very importantly, a referee must apply good calculus-based

statistical methods

along with good common sense.

I would also like you to consider methods used by two of my

former associates at University of California Berkeley, Nobel laureates,

when they

were

shown data, a group of data points, and told, "Look, the trend is

obvious."
