    Netherlands - Women in science are missing out on dozens of millions of euros

    But what percentage would you like? Surely you would agree that 50/50 wouldn't occur naturally in a world with no sexism. I mean just look at the BBC. They have openly set targets for 50/50 by 2020. I watch the football shows. About 3 years ago they were 95% male and this makes perfect sense...

    Netherlands - Women in science are missing out on dozens of millions of euros

    You appear to have misunderstood what I have said. I never said women are less intelligent, just simply they think differently, have different choices and priorities, on average, than men. Yes some of this is social, but also it is biological, babies who are male / higher testosterone look more...

    Netherlands - Women in science are missing out on dozens of millions of euros

    I do not understand why this is seen as a big problem. It is a result of men and women being physically and mentally different. What would the solution to this be? Add even more incentives for women in STEM? As far as I understand it, boys are falling significantly behind girls in every level...

    The tricks propagandists use to beat science

    I think this is happening right now with Electromagnetic Fields and many other topics.

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Professor Crawley’s Bogus BuzzFeed Claims - 17th January 2018

    I don't know mate. I see one problem as, the guys who come up with and support the mainstream scientific opinion, then get deemed the experts on the subject and then have great sway over the discourse and what further research in that area grants. This leads to people going against them being...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Professor Crawley’s Bogus BuzzFeed Claims - 17th January 2018

    Yeah I'm not defending EC at all, I think she is an example of everything wrong with science. I am just saying that he system that allowed her views to become mainstream is the real problem. We really need to look at why scientific ideas that are wrong, can easily become entrenched in...

    David Tuller: Trial By Error: Professor Crawley’s Bogus BuzzFeed Claims - 17th January 2018

    I don't think she should. This is caused by multiple systemic fuck ups not entirely EC. Who are the people that sit in the institutions that determine the mainstream science position on ME? Who are the people that advise the NHS that CFS is psychological and should be treated with CBT? There is...

    Blog: Gelman, "The puzzle: Why do scientists typically respond to legitimate scientific criticism in an angry, defensive, closed, non-scientific way?"

    @alicec Yes I can imagine what it's like. You may be interested in reading books by Dr Robert O'Becker, Dr Andrew Marino, and Gerald Pollack. Even if you do not agree with their conclusions (the former 2 believe that EMFs are harmful, the latter believes most of what we know about water is...

    Blog: Gelman, "The puzzle: Why do scientists typically respond to legitimate scientific criticism in an angry, defensive, closed, non-scientific way?"

    I have been saying this for a while now. The scientific method is good. The institutions and people in control of it are very fallible. If you say X is bad and you publish a paper on it, your ego is now at least somewhat invested in X being bad, and you are also now vulnerable to things like...

    Gaming addiction classified as disorder by WHO

    I think there are 2 aspects to this. 1: Simply having nothing better to do / look forward too / no direction /escapism. From 10-17yrs I really only enjoyed playing games and not much else in life. All I did and really cared about was video games, back then I was far down the social ladder and...
