Hilarious. Reminds me of that group of academics that got a bunch of made up woke papers into peer reviewed journals. Strangely the people who have been taught a lesson often don't seem to appreciate it!
I recalled that it was one guy - Sokol a physicist - and one paper in a trendy cultural studies journal (claiming that basic facts of physics are merely social constructs). Then I refreshed my memory with this WIki article that seems reasonably honest.
Podcast Lee merritt with poornima wagh verifies you can't ask questions that contradict accepted hypotheses without ostracism. Yes science has been dying. Lessons that Many professions are built on schemes like. financial pyramid schemes we saw in 2008.
James Lindsay was involved with that and is still regularly putting out content on aligned topics. Consistently based and absolutely worth checking out.
Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose – absolutely hilarious papers, most of which got published, e.g. «The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct».
Abstract:
Anatomical penises may exist, but as pre-operative transgendered women also have anatomical penises, the penis vis-à-vis maleness is an incoherent construct. We argue that the conceptual penis is better understood not as an anatomical organ but as a social construct isomorphic to performative toxic masculinity. Through detailed poststructuralist discursive criticism and the example of climate change, this paper will challenge the prevailing and damaging social trope that penises are best understood as the male sexual organ and reassign it a more fitting role as a type of masculine performance.
Wait, this really happened? This person was serious? Or was it a joke to see if anyone WOULD "fact check" them?
Regardless, we live in an age where you simply can't believe what you see without doing your own critical thinking. If we don't do a Garbage In Garbage Out assessment of EVERYTHING, we're going to get and allow, well, total Garbage.
Really, we have always been in that age; it is just the baseline of human existence that you have to do your own thinking. Alas, people seem to forget that in every age.
He posted it when he was drunk. Then he had to come up with a good reason after the fact for why he had posted it. So he said it was to remind people to question everything. Hmm.
well if all stars are made of chorizo there is no food shortage ! it just will get boring to eat the same over and over again. (looks for more recipes with chorizo)
Reminds me of when the CDC said the viral vector shots don’t enter the cell nucleus, where DNA is kept. Except every major publication said they did.
So the CDC told doctors to tell their patients they don’t enter the cell nucleus.
Then on December 16th the CDC quietly edited the info to say that the vaccines DO enter the nucleus, and on that day, told people to take another vaccine if available.
Then shut down their cancer and heart reporting system for over 2 months for “upgrades.”
This explains perfectly why the "Disinformation" debate is really a tug of war between Objective information and Political information. That is to say, in our Proof of Stake world, people tend to care only who is delivering the information rather than the substance of that information.
And any junior high algebra student with a passing interest in astronomy could demonstrate conclusively that no telescope can resolve anything 4 light years away as anything better than a diffraction-limited point of light.

The sokol hoax. They put together a bunch of nonsensical babble, and it got accepted. Hilarious.
Pretty scary actually!

In the long run it had zero impact on anyone, any "birthing person" I think would agree.
It led to another group of three who did the same thing in a number of places.

You're right

Thanks, I will check... I think. Lately I'm trying to keep track of more people than I ever did in my life... Getting to be too much sometimes!
so much too much that it just makes me chuckle sometimes. Laugh or cry.
But yes James Lindsey is worth checking out. Has a good book out but I haven't read it yet.
You beat me to it. That was epic.

Did you mean James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian & Helen Pluckrose? 😂🤣🤩😎♥️
That galaxy looks delicious!
Naughty Ungovernable. You're spreading misinformation.
Proxima Centauri is the nearest piece of salami to your mouth on a universe pizza.
And look at all those delicious bits of fat rotating around the tasty center!
hahaha!
But is it gluten-free?
quinoa crust for you!
With a nice hunk of the moon and some bread! 🍷
Looks a good deal spicier than the pale, imitation chorizo I can find in the northwoods!
What’s the problem? He’s just doing science the Pfizer way!
Yeah; their salami has been "cured"!
If you told these people that a meat suit would protect them from an airborne virus, then all the domesticated animals would be sacrificed overnight.
Lady GaGa would approve of the meat suit!
Henri you get the internet price today ! hahaha !
We might say that the claim couldn't pass the sniff test.
that's a good one!

Yes. This really happened. And he fooled people who are very embarrassed and angry.
Turned out to be a bunch of baloney.
Ding ding ding!
He posted it when he was drunk. Then he had to come up with a good reason after the fact for why he had posted it. So he said it was to remind people to question everything. Hmm.
So where is the demand for alcohol to be made illegal? Ohhhh, wait, people LIKE their alcohol. Can't blame that one. Must blame something else...
;-)
He should get one eyebrow shaved off for being so stupid.
The one he raises, Spock-like. Fascinating.
This is almost as good as the CDC hyping the KS masking study. Except they were actually serious.
He had to apologize, lol? Can't he just say he was joking? Surely people didn't really believe that it was a distant star...?
Jokes are no longer allowed. It offends the sensibilities of all the morons with no sense of humor.
Which is way we must MOCK them at every opportunity.
I do, but they don't get the jokes. It's funnier when they get the jokes and get mad.
Ha ha ha ha ha!! Good one :-D
Wow an entire smorgasbord up there...the moon is made of cheese, then there's the Milky Way and now chorizo even!
Looks like chorizo to me.
I say it's salami and I say to hell with it.
And it better be organic and free range or I'll blow the place up.
Carnivores unite!!
would you accept a sommelier?
Medium rare steak is not as good without a glass of wine that compliments it.
Okay, salami it is. Who's going to argue?
Wait, isn't there a brand of salami called "Galileo" -? Hmmm...
well if all stars are made of chorizo there is no food shortage ! it just will get boring to eat the same over and over again. (looks for more recipes with chorizo)
Jambalaya! Chorizo (okay. That's what WE use!) AND INSECTS...aka shrimp
Crawfish = mudbugs.
Don't forget that the moon is made of cheese !
Misinformation. That statement has a lot of holes in it.
Democracy Dies in Darkness
My sources are gouda.
;]
eso
Oh where, oh where are the food fact checkers when you need them?!
Playing checkers. Maybe with slices of chorizo. Myself, I find pepperoni easier to move around on the board.
But pepperoni circles the sun twice as fast as chorizo. Think it's right for you? Ask your doctor.
‘Some people experience gas. If it persists call Your doctor as gas has been known to seriously damage relationships.’
And what else is really just a slice of "chorizo"?
Well, life is just a bowl of cherries...
Or a box of chocolates

wow… all that from a salami.
You mean the cdc is made of cheese, too?
I went and bought a chorizo after reading about this a couple of weeks ago and made my wife chorizo and eggs al la "Midnight Run".
