I have never heard the term "skeptical science". You would need to give a specific example for this question to be answered.
what about climate skepticism, there are over 1300 papers addressing AGW and it gets ignored

Dr Fanklin { trumpeteer } = .."Free radicals are unstable atoms that can damage cells, causing illness and aging. Free radicals are linked to aging and a host of diseases, but little is known about their role in human health, or how to prevent them from making people sick."...


And so it goes with free radicala attacking the integrity of all peoples who follow rational, logical common sense  truths associated with the scientific methodology and those resultants.

Masks help to mitigate air borne disiease, and the free radical cries out government conspiracy, to control our lives and institiute systems of government that enslave humanity. 

Is any wonder humanity is doomed with at least 74 million of these free radicals running around loose /free in USA?

End date for humanity 2232 { approx. }
so i cause aging and illness?

How Science lost the Publics Trust
  • Suppressed the  Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report,  tried repeatedly to change, delay, or remove reports about COVID-19, suppressed govt. warnings about the dangers of hydrocholoquine for more than a month
  • demanded that Fauci stop promoting mask usage and COVID testing for children
  • took $300 million away from the CDC during a pandemic to fund a celebrity "bring America back" campaign
  • ordered the frequency of testing to be reduced to reduce the number of cases reported
  • over-ruled CDC recommendations for mask wearing and quashed publication of those recommendations
  • demanded that schools remain open fall 2020
  • called for an end to all lockdowns on Oct 5, 2020
  • Ordered Dept of Agriculture scientists to relocate to Kansas City, causing a mass exodus of climate change and food security scientists out of government- some depts lost 90% of their scientists.
  • Accidently said that Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama and rather than admit his mistake, spent 3 days ordering climatologists to misstate the threat to Alabama and interfering with and editing Federal reports during a lethal National Emergency
  • Gutted the Environment Protection Agency and most Federal efforts addressing climate change
    • Edited and removed federal warnings of toxicity on products
  • Banned the use of "climate change," or "Paris Agreement" in government memos
  • etc, etc, etc
  • Anthony Fauci:  "With every other president, whether they were conservative, moderate, or liberal, the guidepost for everything was a deep respect for science. That was always the case. When I got involved with Trump, it went into a different world, the likes of which I had not experienced.  He didn't undermine me, because I didn't give a shit about him. I didn't really care what he said, because my home base was [NIAID]."   Fauci added that he did not "take any great pleasure in contradicting"  Trump, but felt obliged to do so "as a symbol to the rest of the world that science is not going to flinch in the face of somebody who's spouting nonsense."
    • That's the most respected scientist in the US today affirming that the POTUS is "spouting nonsense"
most of these things are literally good, like "Gutted the Environment Protection Agency and most Federal efforts addressing climate change", lmao based trump agw is false

ery straightforward.  BIden has some basic science literacy and trusts expert opinion.  Trump was never pro-anything except pro-Donald Trump but he has certainly demonstrated a lack of basic science literacy and a powerful distrust of all facts in all fields of study that do not engage Trump's immediate self-interest.
trump was very good with science, he developed the vaccine and worked with the companies. biden, well what has biden does wotj science opinion

I'm trying to get you to define skeptical science.
concession for John cook being a lying scum

anyway, "skeptical science" refers to science that isnt mainstream

I don't think you can call it a buzzword if you are using a common word in its most common sense.  That's just talking.   Oh, you are anti-science if you think the COVID vaccine is worse than the disease, etc.  That's just ordinary word usage.
but it is too often used to shut down actual science, hence its usage as a buzzword

what do you think Biden meant by saying"im pro science, trump isnt", "its that simple folks"?

Skeptical Science has become a resource about climate change, and praised for its straightforwardness.  Marine biologist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg has described it as "the most prominent knowledge-based website dealing with climate change in the world", and The Washington Post has praised it as the "most prominent and detailed" website to counter arguments by global warming deniers.  In September 2011, the site won the 2011 Eureka Prize from the Australian Museum in the category of Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge.
Skeptical Science is owned by john Cook, a cartoonist who displayed himself as a NAZI for an unexplained reason. Every single one of his claims has been REFUTED

  • I fault the premise.  A buzz word is fashionable jargon.  Science has been used in its popular context since at least Galileo Galilei.
  • why is skeptical science instantly shut down.
  • It's not.  My guess is that what you want to call skeptical science is not science at all but faith-based argument or obvious deception.  Real science contradicting the present paradigm is typically placed at the center of scientific controversy.

are we done with your OP?
science is currently a buzz word and people like to say "oh, your anti science if X"

and "skeptical science" is real science. its the purpose of science

Science (from Latin scientia 'knowledge') is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations  and predictions about the universe. Without science Man would only live to be 30 years old and  3/4 of his children would die before they were 15 years old.

there is no way that you found a thread on DDO from June 6,2019 and read through the forum to find it.

non-coincidentally, this was the EXACT "confession" that harikrish spammed over and over again.

How Science lost the Publics Trust
An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland. The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. All the sheep in Scotland are black!" "No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black." The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one sheep, at least one side of which appears to be black from here some of the time." [**]

How Science lost the Publics Trust


"‘Science” has become a political catchword. “I believe in science,” Joe Bidentweeted six days before he was elected president. “Donald Trump doesn’t. It’s that simple, folks.”

"But what does it mean to believe in science? The British science writer Matt Ridley draws a pointed distinction between “science as a philosophy” and “science as an institution.” The former grows out of the Enlightenment, which Mr. Ridley defines as “the primacy of rational and objective reasoning.” The latter, like all human institutions, is erratic, prone to falling well short of its stated principles. Mr. Ridley says the Covid pandemic has “thrown into sharp relief the disconnect between science as a philosophy and science as an institution.”

i have to agree with the WSJ here

And like the right-wing of pretty much all nations where there really is one, you're conned by bullshit promises and propaganda to vote against what you want in favour of an evil worse than 'the Left' that would actually help out the small business owners and working class far more.

well sure i suppose, the GOP is a mess but a lot of liberals are angry at the dem party too

Most US leftwingers are centre-economics-wing. The right of the US is economically further Right than any other highly developed nation in existence.
yes you think that from the policies which are connected to a corpocracy system that we have in the US.

BUT how do the voters themselves think?


as you can see from the graph, republican voters are economically center, smashing what was previously thought of them. Americans DONT WANT unrestricted capitalism garbage where everything is profit, they want a moral free market where the restrictions are duties to the employees, nation, community, and God.

Biden was Trump’s Veep? In 2008?

@zedvictor4
nice seeing you again zed!

Next time, just pick someone that knows what they are doing.

Either a competent Republican or a competent Democrat.

Is the best that the U.S can come up with really just a Buffoon or a Geriatric?

And from our perspective (UK) it was no wonder that the American people realised which was the lesser of the two evils.

oh we did pick someone competent, someone ruined by MSM lies, he tried his damm best too. Even if he ended up betraying the working class that got him elected.

At least here in the U.K. we have a reasonably competent, and comparatively youthful Prime Ministerial Buffoon.

And the Queens is Head of State, and she's only 95....LOL

But I never vote for any of them...So you can't blame me.
Boris is a funny guy, ill give him that and i do like the Queen. Although the UK is knees deep into clown world.

And Doc...The first rule of politics is misinformation.

Never make a definitive statement.

Always beat about the bush, as it were.

You should have realised that by now Doc.

Bush was an expert bush beater.....But with a winning smile.

Second rule of politics...A winning smile.

Or in Boris's case, a cheeky grin.
True that

yeah i think im teetering on the 1% too but hard to tell

 I don't usually spend all day here,
i think the "it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs." comes from mainstream websites, theres amazon reviewers who 

"Furthermore, at the time I wrote this, 167,113 of Amazon’s book reviews were contributed by just a few "top-100" reviewers; the most prolific reviewer had written 12,423 reviews. How anybody can write that many reviews — let alone read that many books — is beyond me, but it's a classic example of participation inequality."

that is insane!

I think it depends on the type of website, DART is designed for user interface so the number of lurkers will naturally be down.

Wikipedia, has a ratio of 99.8% lurkers, 0.2 general users, and 0.003% super users who are responsible for most edits. This makes sense as encyclopedias are not built for user input.

for the forums, i would say that 5-10% of users are responsible, there are tons of pages on the forum leaderboard with people who have not contributed much to the website

DART and 90-9-1 rule

"In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action."

"All large-scale, multi-user communities and online social networks that rely on users to contribute content or build services share one property: most users don't participate very much. Often, they simply lurk in the background.
In contrast, a tiny minority of users usually accounts for a disproportionately large amount of the content and other system activity. This phenomenon of participation inequality was first studied in depth by Will Hill in the early '90s, when he worked down the hall from me at Bell Communications Research.

When you plot the amount of activity for each user, the result is a Zipf curve, which shows as a straight line in a log-log diagram.
User participation often more or less follows a 90–9–1 rule:
  • 90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don't contribute).
  • 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time.
  • 1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don't have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they're commenting on occurs."
do you think that this applies to DART?
