Discussion on Truth and Pseudoscience

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 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 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 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,

the dominant process, I believe, has been misidentified by factors of 200.

Their lack of scientific knowledge allows pseudoscience to promote what I will refer to as technocons,

political opportunistic aims.

Very importantly, a referee must apply good calculus-based statistical methods

along with good common sense.

I would also like 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.
