HUMANITY’S PRECOGNITION: Climate Change and the Decline of Democracy
Stephan A. Schwartz,  Columnist  -  Explore

Stephan: I am publishing only one story in today’s SR edition. It is a research paper I have just published in Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing. I have decided to do this because I think this paper explains the existential trend that is shaping the behavior and attitudes of humanity.

UK Government Announces Plan for 95% Green Energy by 2030
Cristen Hemingway Jaynes,  Staff Writer  -  EcoWatch

Stephan: The science on the negative effects of carbon energy on Earth’s wellbeing is irrefutable. But still, the United States under the worst President in the country’s history is preparing to emphasize its commitment to carbon energy. In contrast the rest of the world’s democracies are going in the opposite direction. Here is the latest from the U.K.

As Trump escalates war on facts, scientists warn “we are going to get screwed”
Matthew Rozsa,  Staff Writer  -  Salon

_Stephan: So many Americans, including a large number of Republican Congress members, led by Trump, are so poorly educated that they have become convinced environmental science is some kind of conspiracy, not the actual truth. Every scientist I know, including myself, sees this Trumpian war on facts as an ongoing catastrophe for Amer … ⌘ Read more

‘Unprecedented risk’ to life on Earth: Scientists call for halt on ‘mirror life’ microbe research
Ian Sample ,  Science Editor  -  The Guardian (U.K.)

Stephan: You’ve probably never heard of “mirror life” microbes. I had heard of them, and read a paper on on this research, but had not understood the threat to all life on Earth they represented. We are about to see if greed trumps the safety of life on this planet.

PhD level science questions? (+1)

niftydude an hour ago

A PhD level science question is a question that can only be answered by scientific research and experimentation.

And no, by “research”, I do not mean googling.

Literally the whole point of a scientific PhD is to perform experiments and study to answer a specific research question that no one has looked into yet.

California suspends distribution of Raw Farm raw milk products after bird flu detection
Jamie Gumbrecht,  Staff Writer  -  CNN

Stephan: The raw milk trend, which seems to be the choice of anti-vaxxers, and anti-science people, is dangerous, as this article describes. The only time you can safely drink raw milk is when you are in direct contact with the farmer and his cows, and know exactly what their health status is.

In-reply-to » I've been thinking about a new term I've come across whilst reading a book. It's called "Complexity Budget" and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:

Miracles and Black Swans

The Blindspot

The standard modern scientific worldview cannot admit miracles and cannot admit the paranormal.

That’s not the same as saying the scientific worldview disbelieves in miracles or the paranormal (although most modern science fans do).

Nor is it the same as saying that the scientific worldview refutes or disproves miracles or the paranormal.

People get all of these confused, but to state it clearly:

John Searle and Daniel Dennett on Consciousness

Below I am here giving voice to a conversation in articles on the subject of consciousness originally published by the New York Review of Books and in John Searle’s book The Mystery of Consciousness.

Since my last update I’ve read a handful of books. Some standout reads include Tales from Earthsea, The Other Wind and The Left Hand of Darkness, all by Ursula K. Le Guin. I’d read them all before, accepted for The Other Wind. I thought I’d read The Other Wind, but hadn’t! Chaos: Making a New Science by James Gleick was also a fun read.

The Fragility of Physics
Physics has a reputation of being a uniquely “scientific” field.In other fields, you might hear of the concept of “Physics Envy” which is supposed to be a deep-seated desire of academics of other disciplines for the rigorousness and elegance of physics.Only physics, so the popular understanding goes, is truly able to abstract away from the messiness of detail and create truly beautiful and solvent models of their subject matters.Physics is thus the queen of the “hard sciences.”

Science vs. Soyence

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with science, reason, knowledge etc. To some degree, they’re fundamental for survival in this world in one way or another. But one of the more worrisome problems which have arisen since the Enlightenment, and especially in the past several years, is the fact that whenever scientific knowledge has increased, human arrogance has accelerated even faster. This isn’t a metaphysical, moral arrogance; it’s one that is more and mor … ⌘ Read more
