in reply to eswillwalker • • •This is only the latest in the monarchic turn of the USA.
Iโm serious. Really looks like you have basically an elected monarchy in there. Just never really came to light, as there was not a malignant enough narcissist in the position before.
Thereโs no plans. None of this makes any sense beyond just the emotional needs of a mentally unstable person plus an army of sycophantic public servants and journalists sanewashing it 24/7.

in reply to eswillwalker • • •in which science suffers another decisive defeat in a battle it did not see coming.
If the cause of science is going to win this war it will need to get it's act together.
Is science a human centered endeavor?
Does it not require healthy interested humans who want to understand the world they live in to exist as an enterprise?
Does science as a cognitive project of developing consistent logical descriptions of the world we live in not require humanity to fulfill it's purpose?
Start from there.
