Who should you listen to?
Conjunction of two news items led to an interesting thought. Interesting to me anyway.

(1) Two hundred crimate "scientists" join Idiot Obama in shouting EVEN LOUDER about their URGENT NEED for MORE GRANT MONEY. They express this URGENT NEED by repeating the same criminal fraudulent murderous genocidal anti-science ratshit they've been shouting for exactly 40 years now, ever since the CIA and Comrade Margaret Mead conspired to create the scam.

(2) Medical authorities, after shouting for several years that taking one aspirin per day was the best thing you could do to prevent heart attacks, now decide that the advice wasn't so good after all.

We have one group of "scientists" who shout the same brazenly obvious lies for 40 years. Never changing, always taking the current situation as "proof" of the lies. It's getting warmer = "proof". It's getting colder = "proof". It's getting wetter = "proof". It's getting dryer = "proof". It's getting warmer in some places and cooler in other places = "proof". More storms = "proof". Less storms = "proof".

And we have another group of "scientists" who have changed their opinion based on changing collections of data.

Which group is the real "scientists"? Dead easy. The ones who change their opinions when the weight of data changes. That's the exact meaning of science.... or more precisely it's the behavior of all living things. Altering behavior to match perceived reality is what life does. Holding the same opinion regardless of data is the exact meaning of pseudoscience... or more precisely it's the behavior of non-living things like lumps of coal.


Here's the interesting thought.

Which group does the public believe? Unfortunately we tend to believe authorities who seem steady in their preaching. When real scientists alter conclusions based on data, we quite naturally say "Hey assholes! We were following your advice before. Now you say the exact opposite. We can't believe you any more. We're outta here."

The fake genocidal crimate "scientists" understand this better than the real life-saving medical scientists. If you want to be obeyed, you need to be steady.

There must be a solution to this, but I don't know what it is. Well, actually I do, but I'd be shot if I said it.
