This story is concerning the absurdity of the preposterous mandate to simply “belief the science” as if it have been a non-partisan set of static truths. It’s also about some humbling latest discoveries exhibiting 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 many times 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 large will need to 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 have been all on lockdown — however so far as I bear in mind, on the time, in New York not less than, each nook was buzzing with development, and 5G antennas have been going up like mushroom after a rain — so maybe, they have been simply stingy. Anyway, please meet their science:
Science is after all 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 follow 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 need to management. They usually understand it. They understand it. They usually 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 conceited mouths.
Another factor. As eloquently famous by Justin Hart in 2022, “it’s certainly harmful to assert to symbolize 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 “outdated regular” definition of science shouldn’t be one bit fancy. It’s a way of determining how issues work by observing, forming hypotheses, testing them out, and adjusting conclusions based mostly on the outcomes. That’s it.
Individuals have been working towards science since time immemorial — we’re curious beings, we’re wired to play with issues and to follow science. In actual fact, our ancestors within the olden days knew a ton concerning the world: medication, agriculture, astronomy, and many others. They knew much more than what at this time’s monks of institutional science give them credit score for.
Throughout these days, survival was more durable, and poor “science” usually meant a shorter life. If our ancestors from hundreds 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 today.
Oh, the reminiscences 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 midst 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 carry the dignity down. Trustworthy data is censored, and lies get rewarded with bully perks. What’s thrown at us as “science” is a counterfeit. It’s an effigy constructed from scraps of BlackRock speaking factors, all designed to decimate the folks and elevate the thieves. And but they discuss it as if it have been precise science!
In America, all this mad censorship feels weird to me. It’s as if I have been again within the USSR. As they lie, in addition they attempt to implement a monopoly on correctness and to play an outdated authoritarian trick. They’re tossing huge 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 and marketing 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 imagine a lot of the medical analysis that’s printed, or to depend on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical pointers. 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 Drugs,” wrote Marcia Angell in 2009.
“A lot of the scientific literature, maybe half, could merely be unfaithful. Bothered by research with small pattern sizes, tiny results, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of curiosity, along with an obsession for pursuing trendy developments 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, bear in mind the outlandishly fraudulent HCQ-bashing examine that they printed in 2020 after which needed to retract?
In keeping with the New York Occasions, “Dr. Horton known as the paper retracted by his journal a ‘fabrication’ and ‘a monumental fraud.’ However peer assessment was by no means supposed to detect outright deceit, he mentioned, and anybody who thinks in any other case has ‘a basic misunderstanding of what peer assessment is … If in case you have an creator who intentionally tries to mislead, it’s surprisingly straightforward for them to take action,’ he mentioned.” Now we all know.
Actual Science Is By no means Closing
If “consensus” have 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 area — however that the human anatomy had been exhaustively studied. Effectively, that, too, was unsuitable! To today, researchers preserve 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 keeping with Science journal:
“The central nervous system is lined by meninges, classically generally known as dura, arachnoid, and pia mater. We present the existence of a fourth meningeal layer that compartmentalizes the subarachnoid area within the mouse and human mind, designated the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM).
SLYM is morpho- and immunophenotypically much 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 trade of small solutes between cerebrospinal fluid and venous blood, thus representing the mouse equal of the arachnoid granulations. The practical characterization of SLYM offers basic insights into mind immune limitations and fluid transport.”
New Salivary Glands (Possibly)
In 2020, Dutch most cancers researchers made a splash once they printed a paper through which 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 finest guess based mostly on their imaging method.
To confirm their discovering, one would want to comprehensively examine a bigger and extra diversified dataset — and to the very best of my data, nobody has achieved 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 most likely 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 have been utilizing a mixture of CT scans and positron emission tomography (PET) scans known as PSMA PET-CT to review prostate most cancers. In PSMA PET-CT scanning, medical doctors inject a radioactive “tracer” into the affected person. This tracer binds nicely to the protein PSMA, which is elevated in prostate most cancers cells.”
Curiously, the tentative nature of this discovery didn’t forestall 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 printed a examine titled, “Construction and Distribution of an Unrecognized Interstitium in Human Tissues.”
Plenty of information articles printed on the time, such because the Science article right here, mentioned 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 a substitute, it was crammed with fluid — and the rationale the scientists had not beforehand observed the fluid was as a result of they’d solely been dried slides (doh). Stay Science:
“These fluid-filled areas have been found in connective tissues all around the physique, together with under the pores and skin’s floor; lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary techniques; and surrounding muscle tissue, based on a brand new examine detailing the findings, printed … within the journal Scientific Reviews.
Beforehand, researchers had thought these tissue layers have been a dense ‘wall’ of collagen — a powerful structural protein present in connective tissue. However the brand new discovering reveals that, relatively than a ‘wall,’ this tissue is extra like an ‘open, fluid-filled freeway,’ mentioned co-senior examine creator Dr. Neil Theise, a professor of pathology at New York College Langone Faculty of Drugs.
The tissue incorporates interconnected, fluid-filled areas which can be supported by a lattice of thick collagen ‘bundles,’ Theise mentioned.
The researchers mentioned 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 compounds, minimize them into skinny slices and dye them to spotlight 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 of 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 bit of nervous although. I’m very completely happy that the surgeon who found it believed his personal eyes over anatomy textbooks and determined to research 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 fashion, ‘I’m primarily a surgeon who operates on the big bowel and rectum. I observed that the method we use on the left colon has the identical anatomic foundation because the methods we use on the appropriate.
Once I checked out this nearer I observed the rationale for this was that the appropriate and left colon have an hooked up mesentery. (In each affected person. That’s, universally.)’
As a skilled surgeon, Coffey is conscious that, ‘In keeping with basic anatomic instructing, the appropriate and left colon don’t have an hooked up mesentery and, if a mesentery have been current, then this must be thought of anomalous.’ …
He went on to inform Healthline, ‘Some texts prompt that the appropriate and left colon did have a vestigial or rudimentary mesentery, hooked up instantly behind them. So, what we discovered surgically was very completely different to what we have been taught anatomically [emphasis mine].’”
“New Mind Cleansing System Found”
Extra concerning the mind. Up till a couple of years in the past, the consensus was that there was no lymphatic system within the mind. After which all of the sudden, there was! The NIH (2012):
“Scientists have found a system that drains waste merchandise from the mind … Our our bodies take away useless blood cells and different waste via a community of vessels known as the lymphatic system. The mind, nevertheless, has a distinct technique of conserving clear.
Cerebrospinal fluid cleanses mind tissue. However how the fluid strikes via the mind and clears waste wasn’t nicely understood. Till now, scientists might solely examine mind tissue in animals that have been already useless. They thought vitamins and waste have been transported via the sluggish strategy of diffusion.
In a brand new examine, a analysis workforce led by Dr. Jeffrey Iliff and Maiken Nedergaard on the College of Rochester Medical Middle used a way known as 2-photon laser scanning microscopy to research the stream of cerebrospinal fluid in dwelling mouse brains. This new know-how allowed the scientists to review the intact mind in actual time.
To their shock, the scientists discovered that the tracer molecules flowed alongside a collection 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 stress to push fluid via the mind. It is a a lot quicker and extra environment friendly technique to carry away waste than diffusion.”
Exosomes
I’m nicely 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 subjects as nicely). I imagine that life is mysterious, and that there are various methods through which dwelling beings talk and trade power. Regardless of the present understanding is on both aspect of the virus / exosome debate, it can possible change. As of this second, I like J.J. Couey’s take.
With that out of the best way, it’s utterly fascinating to me that as essential as exosomes are, up till a couple of a long time in the past, the scientists didn’t know they existed in any respect. At this time, 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 have been thought of 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 essential organic features and that in each structural and practical 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 virtually not possible to differentiate 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 laborious to imagine it however it looks like 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 precise motive 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 can be good for the guts.
The great microbes, similar to Bifidobacterium and lactic acid micro organism, feast on chocolate … If you eat darkish chocolate, they develop and ferment it, producing compounds which can be anti-inflammatory. The opposite micro organism within the intestine are related to irritation and may trigger gasoline, 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 danger of stroke,” mentioned John Finley, Ph.D., who led the work. He mentioned that this examine is the primary to take a look at the consequences of darkish chocolate on the assorted sorts of micro organism within the abdomen.
He defined that cocoa powder, an ingredient in chocolate, incorporates a number of polyphenolic, or antioxidant, compounds similar 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 examine 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 mentioned.
Finley additionally famous that combining the fiber in cocoa with prebiotics is probably going to enhance an individual’s total well being and assist convert polyphenolics within the abdomen into anti-inflammatory compounds.”
On a enjoyable word, there’s discuss of utilizing cocoa butter (2013) and chocolate (2017) to encapsulate probiotics. Yum.
Infectious Concept of Dementia
That’s an enormous one. Personally, I’m inclined to imagine that loads of dementia-like and neurological signs are brought on not less than partially by infectious brokers and the irritation that ensues once they overwhelm the mind and the CNS at massive (assisted by the environmental toxicity, the EMFs, and many others.).
I imagine that we within the West have been sort of embarrassed to look into it in depth and face the truth that our thought of “western cleanliness” is a delusion. Earlier this yr, I wrote concerning the infectious concept of Alzheimer’s illness. Right here is the abstract:
- Till very just lately, it was thought of official and confirmed that Alzheimer’s Illness is non-infectious and brought on by amyloid plaques
- Final yr, the information got here out that the foundational examine on Alzheimer’s that had been driving the general route of analysis up to now 20 years had been based mostly on fraud
- The brand new rising concept proposes that Alzheimer’s Illness could also be triggered by pathogens, and amyloid plaques could type as an immune response
- Nevertheless, it is very important 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 might be inevitably twisted in favor of pushing for extra vaccines
Conclusion
This listing of latest hypotheses and discoveries goes on, and on, and on. Science is a gorgeous factor. It’s also a humbling factor, irrespective of how a lot we all know, there’s at all times extra that we don’t. As we are able to see from just some examples of latest discoveries, fashionable scientists are infants, and fashionable science, even when sincere, 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 most likely be taught extra.
