@MalufNicolau Vou dar um desconto por ser psicanalista, uma pseudociência sem base ou validação real, e tentar explicar seu engano. A ciência é uma forma de produzir conhecimento confiável. A observação ajuda, foi usado por milhares de anos, mas não é suficiente para entender o Universo.

@MalufNicolau ...
Por milhares de anos funcionou mais ou menos bem, mas por milhares de anos sabíamos que o Sol gira em torno da Terra e objetos mais pesados caem mais rápido. Galileu criou o primeiro teste de validação para método.

Sem ele podemos dizer, alegar, inventar qualquer coisa, sem precisar demonstrar além da dúvida, por exemplo, criar "teorias da mente" tiradas do fiofó e alegar que "são reais". Dar cursos, tratar pessoas de coisas que, na verdade, ela não tem, Id, Ego etc. A ciência precisa..
NEW: Kathy Ruemmler shared nonpublic details with Jeffrey Epstein about the White House's probe into a 2012 prostitution scandal that engulfed the Secret Service during her tenure as White House counsel, emails show bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
In a dozen or so exchanges that were sent months after Ruemmler left her White House position in 2014, she complained to Epstein about “this secret service crap” and forwarded to him a draft email that contained detailed, nonpublic information about the behind-the-scenes role the White House Counsel’s office played in investigating the 2012 prostitution scandal
Epstein offered advice, as well as what he described as “edits” to the email draft, which Ruemmler indicated she was planning to send to a journalist. “Breathe, smile. You’re free,” he wrote in one message.
@zerohedge on Brunel. @KimWexlerMAJD @DM_4USA @KathMLee1 @LizCrokin How did Jeffrey get his intel? Well, glad you ask! @misterchambo @DawnsMission @BGatesIsaPyscho @SomeBitchIIKnow @LoriMills4CA42 @JuliaLaRoche @MichelleMakori @GeorgeGammon @DiMartinoBooth involves UAE deal 1/
Canaccord Genuity Ltd did business for Jeffrey's buddy, the Sultan. Michael Kodesch ran $ 4 Canaccord. @FringeViews @foundring1 @natalimorris @EmeraldRobinson @ClaytonMorris

If it makes you feel any better, Jews also don't really understand who all the Jews are and which people are Jewish. The writer of Mad Men went to a prep school which was plurality Jewish, and the "WASPs" who bullied him for being Jewish were Jewish. This happens a lot with Jews.
The most numerous kinds of Jews are the semi-assimilated Ostjuden who maintain one foot in a Jewish diaspora and one foot in an American identity, and the Orthodox Jews, the only Jews who really practice "Judaism" as a religion in the rabbinic, rulesy sense.
Lately, a lot of people have been getting the intuition that there are a lot more Jews than 2%. This is directionally correct and driven by two factors. One is that there are simply more than 2% Jews.
I spent hours testing NotebookLM so you don't have to.

En 2001, una expedición científica descubrió un caracol que vive en volcanes submarinos y chimeneas hidrotermales en el fondo del océano, que lleva una armadura de hierro sobre su concha y que no necesita comer para vivir. Es el Chrysomallon squamiferum. Tira el hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
En las profundidades del océano Índico, cerca de respiraderos a más de 2.400 metros de profundidad, existe un caracol volcánico (Chrysomallon squamiferum), conocido como “pie escamoso” o “pangolín marino”, único animal vivo que fortalece su esqueleto con hierro sulfuroso.
Su concha está construida en tres capas: la externa de sulfuro de hierro, una intermedia orgánica y resistente al calor, y un núcleo de aragonito consistente. Esa estructura lo convierte en algo parecido a una armadura natural.
Russia is expanding the Russian Orthodox Church across Africa as a tool of Kremlin influence.
In less than three years, the church expanded from 4 to 34 countries, grew clergy to 270, registered 350 parishes. It’s like spiritual colonialism — Bloomberg. 1/
Russia lacks China's resources in Africa.
China is sub-Saharan Africa's biggest trade partner. Russia ranks 33rd. But Moscow uses religion, language, scholarships. More than 32K African students study at russian universities. Since 2020, scholarships to Africans tripled. 2/
Putin created a Kremlin department to coordinate Russia's interactions with nations personally selected by him. Special team to handle Africa policy.

La CIA aurait été informée très tôt des plans des auteurs 🇺🇦 de l’attaque contre Nord Stream.
Des enquêtes du SPIEGEL révèlent que des agents 🇺🇸 auraient discuté des projets d’attentat avec les saboteurs, avant de s’y opposer par la suite.
— Les Ukrainiens, selon des initiés, avaient apporté une idée : ils voulaient faire sauter les gazoducs Nord Stream. Ces tubes qui transportaient plusieurs milliards de mètres cubes de gaz de la Russie vers l'Allemagne et finançaient ainsi la guerre de Moscou contre leur pays.
Le plan a apparemment plu aux Américains, ont raconté plus tard des participants ukrainiens à des proches.
D'autres rencontres entre les représentants de la CIA et les cerveaux des attaques contre les conduites de gaz au fond de la mer Baltique auraient suivi.
I've absolutely avoided the tittle tattle around Romeo's previous conduct mainly because of my own experience of being a pushy outsider in CS. I've focused on aspects of her performance which have been effectively memory holed. 'Transforming Rehabilitation' is exhibit A 1/
Romeo while DG at the MoJ was Senior Responsible Officer for this part privatisation of the probation service which was a total disaster from start to finish. Government ideological vandalism certainly but implemented by her. 2/ civilserviceworld.com/in-depth/artic…
She assured parliament the doomed transformation programme “is going to work and isn’t taking on any unnecessary risk” It was a total fuck up from start to finish when Probation was returned to public sector after wastage of £467 million underestimated costs and bail outs. 3/
