I'm not as in-real-time adept with the spoken word as @therealtruther.bsky.social, who is especially adept with what's really happened since 2020. I don't have the deep professional background that @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social does, or @enirenberg.bsky.social's wide mastery.

I notice you support trans rights which implies you support males in female sport (please correct me if not true) which is an example of science denial. This dissonance reduces the credibility of your endorsement of this model if you only apply it to certain causes.

Well, science isn't about belief -- except, fundamentally, it is. We believe that there is an objective reality
These things I've internalized function like a creed, even if they started out being rooted in objective evidence.
*Peer review used to be somewhat of a gate that is kept; not any more.
*You don't accept peer-reviewed articles just because they are indexed in PubMed
