My American friends are soon celebrating their Thanksgiving holiday. As Americans express their gratitude, please consider including science -- the one endeavour that has given humanity better, longer, and healthier lives. #ScienceSaves

My foundation along with the Stiefel Freethought Foundation are asking Americans to contact their state governors to establish a National Science Appreciation Day on March 26, 2022.

That day commemorates Jonas Salk's announcement of the polio vaccine. We have made it easy to help. Please consider signing the petition: sciencesaves.org/petition-for-n…

@sciencesavesorg

For our international friends, please follow @sciencesavesorg and help us honour this day.

Helen Pluckrose & James Lindsay (‘Cynical Theories’) have done us a service. They sacrificed themselves to read, on behalf of the rest of us, the stupefyingly boring, pretentious & deliberately unclear literature of postmodern metabullshit. Now we can get on with real science.

Peter Medawar rumbled postmodernist metabullshit even before it got into its over-rated stride. He wrote the following in 1968 (reprinted in Pluto’s Republic).

PB Medawar, again reprinted in Pluto’s Republic, again anticipating postmodern metabaloney:

“No one who has something original or important to say will willingly run the risk of being misunderstood; people who write obscurely are either unskilled in writing or up to mischief.”
