10-headed demons shouldn't criticize other 10-headed demons
RCS has a talent for grouping headlines together.



The first one is understated. "Social" "scientists" have advanced to Pol Pot genocide, declaring half of humanity to be permanently diseased. That's not "controversial", it's a pogrom.

Second one is a more specific pogrom. Watson has been Unpersoned for the "crime" of stating PRECISELY ACCURATE FACTS** about genes, which he understands better than anyone else. "Science" no longer wants facts, so "science" no longer honors factual scientists.

Third one deserves a bit more detail.

At this year's annual meeting of the Indian Science Congress from Jan. 3 to 7, senior research scientist Kannan Jegathala Krishnan dismissed Albert Einstein's theory of relativity as "a big blunder" and said Isaac Newton didn't really understand how gravity works.

Nageswara Rao, a vice chancellor at Andhra University in South India, said that Ravana, a demon god with 10 heads, had 24 kinds of aircraft of varying sizes and capacities — and that India was making test-tube babies thousands of years ago.

Dinosaurs were created by the Hindu god Brahma, said Ashu Khosla, a scientist with expertise in paleontology at Panjab University in the North Indian city of Chandigarh.

Not exactly the kind of remarks you would expect at an event whose mission is to advance and further the cause of science etc

(1) Western "scientists" who ferociously defend (and get billions of dollars for defending) bizarre nonsense like multiverses and string theory and dark matter and variable gender are not qualified to criticize others for bizarre nonsense.

(2) Many fashionable Western "scientists" have also criticized relativity from various angles, and Einstein himself said that Newton didn't really understand gravity. That was the whole point of General Relativity.

(3) Ancient aircraft and test-tube babies haven't been discovered but they're not impossible. Advanced civilizations 3000 years ago had lots of technology that disappeared. Occasionally archeologists dig up a new example. So far no aircraft, but the Antikythera computer was more sophisticated than basic aircraft, and Heron's steam engine was equally sophisticated.

(4) Dinosaurs created by Brahma? All life was created by some kind of intelligence. That's an inescapable conclusion from real science. If you want to call the intelligence Brahma, fine.

** Relevant sidenote: Though Watson's specific statements about IQ and genes are precisely accurate, he misses the real problem. As I've argued repeatedly, Sorosian lands have turned the talents measured by IQ into a complete determiner of success. We reward immoral abstract computer-like theoreticians and kill moral live humans. Watson clearly agrees with the elite assumption but doesn't agree with the cruel hoax of "meritocracy" that allows the elite to justify their slaughter of moral live humans. The latter disagreement is his real crime.
