This story is concerning the absurdity of the preposterous mandate to simply “belief the science” as if it had been a non-partisan set of static truths. It’s also about some humbling latest discoveries displaying simply how little the scientists know at any given time.
The Yelling
Over the previous three years, we’ve been pounded on the pinnacle, gaslit and shamed advert nauseam for being skeptical of the science shoved down our throats by Pfizer, Blackrock, DARPA, and their varied associates. We’ve been advised repeatedly that except we obediently lock our brains within the closet and bend over in response to the tv speaking heads, we’re “anti-science.” What a logical fallacy, what an apparent psychological trick!
For giggles, here’s a cheaply made Pfizer industrial from three years in the past, glorifying their “science.”
I surmise, the poor pharmaceutical big should have been fighting promoting budgets after paying all their fines for fraud and earlier than the rollout of their COVID injections, both that, or the actors had been all on lockdown — however so far as I keep in mind, on the time, in New York at the least, each nook was buzzing with development, and 5G antennas had been going up like mushroom after a rain — so maybe, they had been simply stingy. Anyway, please meet their science:
Science is in fact an thrilling and tremendously helpful discipline — however when the consultants wag their shaming fingers at us and demand that we mindlessly observe no matter they are saying, they don’t observe science! They interact in blatant social engineering, propaganda, and gaslighting. It’s zombie obedience — not curiosity — that they hope to impress in us. It’s like public college at its worst — however for adults whom they wish to management. And so they understand it. They understand it. And so they do it anyway.
On my finish, I don’t care if the bullies are on Blackrock’s payroll straight or in the event that they interact of their missionary actions professional bono — both method, they’re bullies, and I’m going to proceed to do my very own analysis and belief my very own mind and nostril over the complicated phrase salad that comes out of their smug mouths.
Yet one more factor. As eloquently famous by Justin Hart in 2022, “it’s certainly harmful to assert to signify science. Science doesn’t want gross sales reps, since it’s the conceptualization of bodily actuality itself as decided by experiment and knowledge. What Fauci really represented is the authoritarian State with a capital ‘S’.” Certainly.
What Is Science?
The “previous regular” definition of science isn’t one bit fancy. It’s a way of determining how issues work by observing, forming hypotheses, testing them out, and adjusting conclusions primarily based on the outcomes. That’s it.
Individuals have been practising science since time immemorial — we’re curious beings, we’re wired to play with issues and to observe science. In reality, our ancestors within the olden days knew a ton concerning the world: drugs, agriculture, astronomy, and so on. They knew much more than what in the present day’s clergymen of institutional science give them credit score for.
Throughout these days, survival was more durable, and poor “science” sometimes meant a shorter life. If our ancestors from 1000’s of years in the past engaged in Neil Ferguson-like “modeling” or Fauci-like “science” — it’s not clear if we as a species would have made it to at the present time.
Oh, the recollections of 2020 and Neil Ferguson, the lockdown-promoting professor at Imperial Faculty London who was caught violating the social distancing guidelines with a mistress in the course of a lockdown …
Bullies’ Monopoly on Correctness
As a society, we’re in a messy place. There’s a coordinated, well-funded marketing campaign to deliver the dignity down. Trustworthy information is censored, and lies get rewarded with bully perks. What’s thrown at us as “science” is a counterfeit. It’s an effigy comprised of scraps of BlackRock speaking factors, all designed to decimate the folks and elevate the thieves. And but they speak about it as if it had been precise science!
In America, all this mad censorship feels weird to me. It’s as if I had been again within the USSR. As they lie, additionally they attempt to implement a monopoly on correctness and to play an previous authoritarian trick. They’re tossing massive phrases up and down, altering definitions as they please, and repeating lies till they stick.
What I see is a swapping of psychological frameworks. The expensive-looking, colourful model of the “western” advertising brochure is being urgently recalled — and a brand new brochure, printed on soiled paper in grey tones, is getting shipped in. Yikes.
Good ol’ Corruption
Along with the deliberate obsoletion of dignity, good ol’ corruption reigns supreme. Two years in the past, I wrote this story about corruption within the medical institution. Since then, it solely obtained worse. A few telling quotes:
“It’s merely not potential to consider a lot of the medical analysis that’s revealed, or to depend on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical tips. I take no pleasure on this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my 20 years as an editor of The New England Journal of Medication,” wrote Marcia Angell in 2009.
“A lot of the scientific literature, maybe half, might merely be unfaithful. by research with small pattern sizes, tiny results, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of curiosity, along with an obsession for pursuing modern tendencies of doubtful significance, science has taken a flip in direction of darkness,” wrote Richard Horton, the Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet in 2015.
Talking of Richard Horton and the Lancet, keep in mind the outlandishly fraudulent HCQ-bashing research that they revealed in 2020 after which needed to retract?
In response to the New York Occasions, “Dr. Horton known as the paper retracted by his journal a ‘fabrication’ and ‘a monumental fraud.’ However peer evaluation was by no means meant to detect outright deceit, he stated, and anybody who thinks in any other case has ‘a elementary misunderstanding of what peer evaluation is … In case you have an creator who intentionally tries to mislead, it’s surprisingly simple for them to take action,’ he stated.” Now we all know.
Actual Science Is By no means Remaining
If “consensus” had been a significant measure of any fact, no scientific discoveries would ever be made since always, there’s a “consensus” (actual or fabricated) on how issues work.
Humorous, rising up, I believed that there have been many potential discoveries within the ocean and in house — however that the human anatomy had been exhaustively studied. Properly, that, too, was flawed! To at the present time, researchers maintain discovering new components of human anatomy and new methods these components work together. Working example.
A New A part of the Mind
Earlier this yr, they found a brand new a part of the mind. Beforehand, the accepted view was that the membrane surrounding the mind consisted of three layers. In January 2023, a fourth layer was introduced. It was known as SLYM (Subarachnoid LYmphatic-like Membrane). In response to Science journal:
“The central nervous system is lined by meninges, classically often known as dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. We present the existence of a fourth meningeal layer that compartmentalizes the subarachnoid house within the mouse and human mind, designated the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM).
SLYM is morpho- and immunophenotypically just like the mesothelial membrane lining of peripheral organs and physique cavities, and it encases blood vessels and harbors immune cells.
Functionally, the shut apposition of SLYM with the endothelial lining of the meningeal venous sinus permits direct change of small solutes between cerebrospinal fluid and venous blood, thus representing the mouse equal of the arachnoid granulations. The useful characterization of SLYM supplies elementary insights into mind immune boundaries and fluid transport.”
New Salivary Glands (Possibly)
In 2020, Dutch most cancers researchers made a splash once they revealed a paper wherein they described what they believed to be new salivary glands. Being a skeptical peasant, I want to high quality this discovering by saying that their dataset was very restricted (all most cancers sufferers) and really small, and their conclusion was their greatest guess primarily based on their imaging method.
To confirm their discovering, one would want to comprehensively research a bigger and extra different dataset — and to the most effective of my information, nobody has finished it but. Additionally, please see this fascinating letter to the editor in response to the unique publication. In any case, right here is Stay Science:
“This nasopharynx area — behind the nostril — was not thought to host something however microscopic, diffuse, salivary glands; however the newly found set are about 1.5 inches (3.9 centimeters) in size on common.
Due to their location over a chunk of cartilage known as the torus tubarius, the discoverers of those new glands have dubbed them the tubarial salivary glands. The glands in all probability lubricate and moisten the higher throat behind the nostril and mouth, the researchers wrote … within the journal Radiotherapy and Oncology.
The invention was unintentional. Researchers on the Netherlands Most cancers Institute had been utilizing a mix of CT scans and positron emission tomography (PET) scans known as PSMA PET-CT to check prostate most cancers. In PSMA PET-CT scanning, medical doctors inject a radioactive “tracer” into the affected person. This tracer binds effectively to the protein PSMA, which is elevated in prostate most cancers cells.”
Apparently, the tentative nature of this discovery didn’t stop The Scientist from naming their article about it “Scientists Uncover New Human Salivary Glands.” That alone demonstrates the truth that “the science” is a humorous beast.
Interstitium: A Important Replace
This discovery, too, requires a clarification. In 2018, Nature revealed a research titled, “Construction and Distribution of an Unrecognized Interstitium in Human Tissues.”
Numerous information articles revealed on the time, such because the Science article right here, stated that the interstitium itself was found. Nevertheless, the interstitium had been talked about for many years (here’s a point out of from 2012, and right here is one from 1987, and anecdotally, I do know that its existence was mentioned in medical faculties in Russia a lot sooner than that).
The 2018 discovery was the truth that it was not a stable mass of connective tissue however as an alternative, it was crammed with fluid — and the rationale the scientists had not beforehand seen the fluid was as a result of that they had solely been dried slides (doh). Stay Science:
“These fluid-filled areas had been found in connective tissues everywhere in the physique, together with under the pores and skin’s floor; lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary methods; and surrounding muscle tissue, in keeping with a brand new research detailing the findings, revealed … within the journal Scientific Reviews.
Beforehand, researchers had thought these tissue layers had been a dense ‘wall’ of collagen — a robust structural protein present in connective tissue. However the brand new discovering reveals that, somewhat than a ‘wall,’ this tissue is extra like an ‘open, fluid-filled freeway,’ stated co-senior research creator Dr. Neil Theise, a professor of pathology at New York College Langone Faculty of Medication.
The tissue incorporates interconnected, fluid-filled areas which are supported by a lattice of thick collagen ‘bundles,’ Theise stated.
The researchers stated these fluid-filled areas had been missed for many years as a result of they do not present up on the usual microscopic slides that researchers use to see into the mobile world.
When scientists put together tissue samples for these slides, they deal with the samples with chemical substances, reduce them into skinny slices and dye them to focus on key options. However this fixing course of drains away fluid and causes the newfound fluid-filled areas to break down.”
Mesentery Redefined as a New Organ
In 2016, the mesentery, that had been beforehand thought-about a set of belly tissue, attaching the intestines to the posterior belly wall, was reclassified as a brand new organ, after the invention was first described in 2012.
This Healthline article makes me a little bit nervous although. I’m very glad that the surgeon who found it believed his personal eyes over anatomy textbooks and determined to analyze however … however … how did it work previous to 2012?
“Coffey, and his colleague Peter O’Leary, Ph.D., first found that the mesentery was an organ … Coffey defined his discovery to Healthline this manner, ‘I’m primarily a surgeon who operates on the big bowel and rectum. I seen that the method we use on the left colon has the identical anatomic foundation because the strategies we use on the suitable.
Once I checked out this nearer I seen the rationale for this was that the suitable and left colon have an connected mesentery. (In each affected person. That’s, universally.)’
As a educated surgeon, Coffey is conscious that, ‘In response to basic anatomic educating, the suitable and left colon don’t have an connected mesentery and, if a mesentery had been current, then this needs to be thought-about anomalous.’ …
He went on to inform Healthline, ‘Some texts instructed that the suitable and left colon did have a vestigial or rudimentary mesentery, connected instantly behind them. So, what we discovered surgically was very totally different to what we had been taught anatomically [emphasis mine].’”
“New Mind Cleansing System Found”
Extra concerning the mind. Up till a number of years in the past, the consensus was that there was no lymphatic system within the mind. After which out of the blue, there was! The NIH (2012):
“Scientists have found a system that drains waste merchandise from the mind … Our our bodies take away lifeless blood cells and different waste via a community of vessels known as the lymphatic system. The mind, nevertheless, has a special methodology of protecting clear.
Cerebrospinal fluid cleanses mind tissue. However how the fluid strikes via the mind and clears waste wasn’t effectively understood. Till now, scientists may solely research mind tissue in animals that had been already lifeless. They thought vitamins and waste had been transported via the sluggish technique of diffusion.
In a brand new research, a analysis group led by Dr. Jeffrey Iliff and Maiken Nedergaard on the College of Rochester Medical Heart used a way known as 2-photon laser scanning microscopy to research the stream of cerebrospinal fluid in dwelling mouse brains. This new expertise allowed the scientists to check the intact mind in actual time.
To their shock, the scientists discovered that the tracer molecules flowed alongside a sequence of channels surrounding blood vessels. Within the mind, blood vessels are surrounded by cells known as astrocytes. These cells have projections known as finish ft that wrap round arteries and veins like a layer of piping. It was via this pipeline that the molecules traveled.
The system makes use of strain to push fluid via the mind. It is a a lot sooner and extra environment friendly approach to carry away waste than diffusion.”
Exosomes
I’m effectively conscious of the truth that the subject of exosomes is a heated one. On my finish, I’m not within the warmth. I really feel humble about this subject (and lots of different matters as effectively). I consider that life is mysterious, and that there are a lot of methods wherein dwelling beings talk and change power. Regardless of the present understanding is on both facet of the virus / exosome debate, it would probably change. As of this second, I like J.J. Couey’s take.
With that out of the way in which, it’s utterly fascinating to me that as vital as exosomes are, up till a number of a long time in the past, the scientists didn’t know they existed in any respect. At the moment, exosomes are an in-demand space of analysis — besides, researchers are principally making guesses, and the thriller stays:
“Cells in vivo and ex vivo launch membrane vesicles. These extracellular vesicles (EVs) are 50- to 100-nm-sized lipid bilayer-enclosed entities containing proteins and RNA. Not way back, EVs had been thought-about to be “mobile mud” or rubbish and didn’t appeal to a lot consideration. Nevertheless, it has just lately been discovered that EVs can have vital organic features and that in each structural and useful facets they resemble viruses.
This resemblance turns into much more evident with EVs produced by cells productively contaminated with viruses. Such EVs include viral proteins and components of viral genetic materials … we emphasize that within the particular case of virus-infected cells, it’s nearly unimaginable to tell apart EVs from (noninfectious) viruses and to separate them.”
Possibly, if we’re fortunate, 100 years from now, we could have a greater readability about all this. If we’re nonetheless round, that’s!
Cocoa and the Good Micro organism within the Intestine
It’s onerous to consider it but it surely looks as if it was in 2014 when the American scientists first reported that cocoa supported the helpful micro organism within the intestine. As reported by the American Chemical Society [!!]:
“The well being advantages of consuming darkish chocolate have been extolled for hundreds of years, however the actual cause has remained a thriller — till now. Researchers reported … that sure micro organism within the abdomen gobble the chocolate and ferment it into anti-inflammatory compounds which are good for the guts.
The great microbes, corresponding to Bifidobacterium and lactic acid micro organism, feast on chocolate … Whenever you eat darkish chocolate, they develop and ferment it, producing compounds which are anti-inflammatory. The opposite micro organism within the intestine are related to irritation and might trigger fuel, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. These embrace some Clostridia and a few E. coli.
“When these compounds are absorbed by the physique, they reduce the irritation of cardiovascular tissue, lowering the long-term threat of stroke,” stated John Finley, Ph.D., who led the work. He stated that this research is the primary to have a look at the results of darkish chocolate on the varied varieties of micro organism within the abdomen.
He defined that cocoa powder, an ingredient in chocolate, incorporates a number of polyphenolic, or antioxidant, compounds corresponding to catechin and epicatechin, and a small quantity of dietary fiber. Each parts are poorly digested and absorbed, however once they attain the colon, the fascinating microbes take over.
“In our research we discovered that the fiber is fermented and the big polyphenolic polymers are metabolized to smaller molecules, that are extra simply absorbed. These smaller polymers exhibit anti-inflammatory exercise,” he stated.
Finley additionally famous that combining the fiber in cocoa with prebiotics is probably going to enhance an individual’s general well being and assist convert polyphenolics within the abdomen into anti-inflammatory compounds.”
On a enjoyable word, there may be discuss of utilizing cocoa butter (2013) and chocolate (2017) to encapsulate probiotics. Yum.
Infectious Idea of Dementia
That’s a giant one. Personally, I’m inclined to consider that a variety of dementia-like and neurological signs are brought on at the least partially by infectious brokers and the irritation that ensues once they overwhelm the mind and the CNS at giant (assisted by the environmental toxicity, the EMFs, and so on.).
I consider that we within the West have been type of embarrassed to look into it in depth and face the truth that our concept of “western cleanliness” is a delusion. Earlier this yr, I wrote concerning the infectious principle of Alzheimer’s illness. Right here is the abstract:
- Till very just lately, it was thought-about official and confirmed that Alzheimer’s Illness is non-infectious and attributable to amyloid plaques
- Final yr, the information got here out that the foundational research on Alzheimer’s that had been driving the general course of analysis up to now 20 years had been primarily based on fraud
- The brand new rising principle proposes that Alzheimer’s Illness could also be triggered by pathogens, and amyloid plaques might type as an immune response
- Nevertheless, you will need to the do not forget that even when a pathogen or a gaggle of pathogens is really concerned in triggering the signs of Alzheimer’s Illness, the mainstream narrative will likely be inevitably twisted in favor of pushing for extra vaccines
Conclusion
This record of latest hypotheses and discoveries goes on, and on, and on. Science is a wonderful factor. It’s also a humbling factor, irrespective of how a lot we all know, there may be all the time extra that we don’t. As we are able to see from only a few examples of latest discoveries, trendy scientists are infants, and trendy science, even when trustworthy, has solely a really approximate understanding of the world.
So subsequent time a pundit tells you to “simply belief the science,” ask him what number of layers there are within the membrane defending the mind. 🙂 Or, even higher, shut down the TV and take a stroll outdoors. You’ll in all probability be taught extra.
