Just arrived in the Bay Area at the invitation of @NicoleShanahan’s campaign to sit down with my friend and colleague Stanford Prof. @DrJBhattacharya, and the man I am most eager to meet on the subject of all things mind control, @MikeBenzCyber. The recent practice of creating supposed “expert consensus” by relentlessly smearing expert dissenters as dangerous people, is at the heart of an unholy machine destroying institutional trust. Nicole challenged me: “If a campaign were actually interested in fixing the United States, what would it do?” I think I mumbled something like “It might go get Benz and Bhattacharya in a room as the beginning of convening the expert voices that everyone pretends don’t exist.” These guys are, after all, absolute unsung heroes to many of us. Well…Boom. Called my bluff. They mapped it out. It begins tomorrow. And here’s the crazy part: there’s no ask. I did not see that coming; Nicole and @RobertKennedyJr’s campaign is simply serious about fixing whatever ails us. I’m just stunned. And very impressed! This X space should be awesome. Join us tomorrow, August 7, 2024. We will work to make this a great X space. Thanks to @elonmusk for keeping this platform free. Please retweet and share Nicole’s tweet with anyone who wants to end the usual gaslighting to get back to what we do best. Let’s get that American mojo back.
Expert consensus is highly valued in policy-making. Consensus is typically achieved through strong technical arguments across a diversity of qualified experts. Historically, multiple opinions were consulted and dissenting opinions were respected in the overall discourse. This ongoing debate enhances public trust in institutions. However, censorship culture now enables consensus through character assassination of dissenters. This may expedite policy-making but it undermines institutional credibility. Restoring trust requires reintegrating expert critics into institutional life. Tomorrow, I'll be hosting a live discussion featuring several prominent dissenting voices who have faced maligning, disparagement, censorship, and cancellation by the very institutions they served. Their voices will be heard. 🇺🇸 Join our COUNCIL of the CANCELED with @DrJBhattacharya , @ericweinstein , and @MikeBenzCyber as we dive into the current state of free speech in the United States and the threats posed by censorship and cancel culture. Wednesday, August 7th 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET Live on X

A global survey shows that in 2019, antimicrobial resistance killed more people than HIV/AIDS or malaria. One expert says the findings should be a “wake-up call” go.nature.com/336ew3Y

Julian Assange speaking in 2011: "The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war" #Afghanistan

Angeles-Martinez and Hatzimanikatis show how the presence of mutants and a reduced diffusion in crowded environments can perturb the local availability of nutrients and therefore modify the dynamics of a microbial community. plos.io/2UVidFm
