Empiricism guided by theory is the only way humans make meaningful progress. However, you need to treat claims very carefully.

I have a banner on the wall in my lab, "Nothing looks more like a discovery than a mistake." When you find something surprising, most of the time it's a technical error. You should always be massively skeptical of your own work ... and pretty skeptical of a novel finding of anyone else's, because you don't know if they showed the same skepticism. 95% of science reporting is sloppy researchers reporting a mistake, and credulous reporters treating it like a breakthrough. (1/4)
You can't even necessarily trust large bodies of work, because with some frequency, they turn out to be fraud, in the worst cases, or groupthink, more commonly. When "95% of scientists agree" on something, maybe it's because it's true ... but maybe it's because they never thought about it that hard, and maybe it's because if you disagree, you can't get funded. Eating cholesterol causing high cholesterol always sounded stupid to me - and it turns out nobody'd ever actually checked. (2/4)
Most of the Alzheimer's research of the last decade or two turns out to have been a fraud ring. When scammers become editors of major journals, they can drive massive amounts of waste and fraud, because getting into their "prestigious" journal requires buying into the fraud. Same's true of ideological capture - "Science" and "Nature" have always been magnets for mistakes that get treated like discoveries, but lately they're just ideological trashcans. (3/4)

@ErikOsbergMN 1. Proof of concept. It makes sense to test something in a more controlled environment, something anyone running for Congress really should understand.

2. Unlike Texas and Florida, Minnesota state and local governments routinely ignore federal detainer requests.
@ErikOsbergMN 3. Honoring federal detainer requests safely transfers to federal custody persons detained in state prison or local jails, presumably for a reason.

4. This avoids any need for federal law enforcement officers to track down the person in the community.

I hope this is useful.

BREAKING: I stopped wasting hours creating handwriting notes.

AI now creates realistic handwritten notes in seconds that look 100% authentic.

Here's how it works👇 Image
Image
2/ First, open ChatGPT or Gemini

Paste your rough notes or textbook content and say:
“Rewrite this into clear, concise study notes for exams.”

This step is about clarity, not visuals. Image
3/ Now take output and paste it into Gemini or ChatGPT again and use this prompt.

Copy–paste this prompt

"Create a handwritten study note about "Your Topic". Use a student handwriting font on lined paper. Use a yellow neon marker to highlight important terms for revision and draw red circles around important dates. Add small doodles to explain the concepts better on A4 size paper."

1/5 Good idea...WRONG answer though. You DO know how the 25th amendment works, right? The process for initiating the 25th Amendment involves a series of steps that must be followed by the Vice President and a majority of the executive Cabinet or a body designated by Congress. The
2/5 Vice President is the primary initiator of the process, the Democrats can't, and the President's Cabinet must agree to the declaration of incapacity. You think THIS VP and Republican Cabinet are going to start this process? NO WAY in hell! If the President disagrees with this
3/5 declaration, they can contest the removal and bring the matter to Congress for a vote. Congress must then decide within 21 days whether to uphold the Vice President-Cabinet decision. If Congress does not agree, the President can return to office. The 25th Amendment has never

HOW TO PREVENT ARTHRITIS

It can affect people of all ages, but it is more common as people grow older. Over time, arthritis can make daily activities difficult and reduce quality of life if not properly managed. Image
✨ EXERCISE REGULARLY
Regular physical activity strengthens muscles around the joints, improves flexibility, and reduces stiffness. Low impact exercises such as walking, swimming, and stretching are especially beneficial.
✨MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT
Excess body weight puts extra pressure on joints, especially the knees, hips, and spine. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces joint stress and lowers the risk of developing arthritis.

IMPORTANCE OF DEWORMING

Deworming is the use of medicines to remove intestinal worms from the body.

These worms are common, especially in areas with poor sanitation, and many people carry them without knowing.

Learn the signs and why deworming is important

Check my comments below 👇🏾Image
SIGNS OF WORM INFESTATION

- Unexplained weight loss or poor weight gain, especially in children, is a common sign. Worms feed on nutrients meant for the body.

- Non stop tiredness, weakness, or dizziness may occur due to loss of nutrients and iron, leading to anemia.

- Frequent stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting can be caused by worms irritating the intestines.

- Itching around the anus, especially at night, is a typical sign of pinworm infection.

- Poor appetite or sudden changes in eating habits may be noticed, particularly in children.

- Grinding of teeth during sleep is sometimes linked to worm infestation in children.

- Coughing or breathing discomfort may occur when worm larvae migrate through the lungs.

- Visible worms or worm segments in stool or around the anus is a clear sign of infestation.

- Delayed growth, poor concentration, and reduced school performance may be seen in affected children.
🔑 IMPORTANCE OF DEWORMING
- Deworming helps prevent anemia. Worms feed on nutrients and blood in the body, especially iron. Over time, this can lead to low blood level, weakness, dizziness, and tiredness, particularly in children and pregnant women.

- It improves growth and development in children. Worm infestation reduces appetite and blocks proper nutrient absorption. Regular deworming helps children gain weight, grow well, and develop normally.

- Deworming improves concentration and school performance. Children with worms often feel weak, restless, or sleepy. Once dewormed, many children show better attention, energy, and learning ability.

- It protects the immune system. Worms weaken the body’s defenses, making people more prone to infections. Removing them helps the immune system function better.

- Deworming reduces stomach problems. Worms can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, vomiting, and itching around the anus. Deworming relieves these symptoms and improves comfort.

- It helps prevent complications. Long-term worm infestation can lead to bowel blockage, malnutrition, delayed puberty, and severe anemia. Regular deworming reduces these risks.

- Deworming helps break the cycle of transmission. Treating infected people reduces the spread of worms in homes, schools, and communities, especially where sanitation is poor.

- It supports overall nutrition. When worms are removed, the body absorbs food better, making meals more effective for energy and health.
