“you bring that woo-woo into the ring, you get killed.”
"the mismatch was far too obvious and nothing dissolves the mystique of the lifetime woo-woo practitioner like getting knocked out in 30 seconds by some 3rd year fighter from a good school.
the true power of woo-woo is making you too afraid to challenge it.
and a lot more of the world works like this than you think.
because woo-woo is absolutely fricking everywhere."
"oh, you mean like these public health frauds from their nonsense credential factories having to compete in real time with people who can actually do science, data, and statistics?
because i sure saw a lot of alleged blackbelts and sifu’s choked out by "newbies" over the last 2 years..
i’m not going to mince words here: nearly all the policy arm of public health is woo-woo.
these alleged epidemiologists and modelers and academics were a bunch of cloistered frauds pushing hocus pocus from the mountain top temples. and they have learned nothing. they got it this wrong in march of 2020. and they were still getting it this wrong 2 years later.
it’s all woo-woo and fear mongering."

"do you really think it’s JUST this discipline of “authorities and experts” that is so riddled with rot and unfit for combat?
because it isn’t. it’s not even one of the worst."
"hiding behind a process of “peer review” by friendly fellow woo-woo aficionados to exclude debate and criticism from outsiders and pantomime adversarial assessment is just woo on top of woo. it generates the appearance of fact checking but is really its antithesis. only the guild gets to decide what can be approved and spoken of and these bodies exist to defend ideology and careers, not to pursue truths and paradigm shifts
and this is why the future will continue to be incredibly unkind to the siloed orthodoxies of self-anointed expertdom.
because the future is interdisciplinary."
