How Quacks Imitate Science | The Cargo Cult Science of Creationism and Alternative Medicine


Published on Dec 31, 2017 by Genetically Modified Skeptic [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1uayRlzz3ahT8ISRdyw7Q , https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1uayRlzz3ahT8ISRdyw7Q/videos ]

The quacks of creationism and alternative medicine imitate science in multiple ways, yet they see no scientific progress. Richard Feynman described cargo cult science as doing just that. Deepak Chopra, The Discovery Institute, and Eric Hovind share a similar approach. In religion and woo, homeopathy and creationism, quantum healing and hydrologic sorting, cargo cult thinking abounds.

Sunday, Dec. 31st 2017[, with appearances by Jerome Corsi, Roger Stone and Michael Caputo]: Last Day Of 2017 - Trump once again showed support for the Iranian people as protests against the Islamic regime intensified over the weekend. A Houston man was arrested after police discovered a cache of firearms in his hotel room. Meanwhile, an arctic blast is chilling much of the U.S. as Americans prepare to usher in the new year. On today’s show, we’ll cover the highlights of 2017 and discuss what’s in store for 2018.

[and to berate just one obvious point -- in claiming Trump will pay vastly more in federal income taxes in respect of his real estate holdings, Alex is conflating the new lowered limitation on the ability of individuals to deduct real estate taxes paid on their residential real estate, with the ability of business/investment entities to deduct real estate taxes paid on their real estate holdings, which latter has been and remains unlimited]

( https://youtu.be/A-JtybJbVbA )

Some animals snooze with half their brain, while others sleep for just two hours a day (without suffering sleep deprivation). In this episode of Animalism, Ed Yong guides us through the latest research on how creatures catch their z’s.
