Fuken science pricks and shit

[Banditbandit]

Did this study appear in a respectable, peer reviewed academic journal, or some fucking loony corner of the internet that only you, and you handful of gun nut, bigoted idiotic friends hang out in? Put up a link and let me mock you.

There's a difference ???

"Some respectable peer reviewed academic journal" is just a flash way of saying "some fucking looney corner" ... who says peer reviewed is better than looney on the net ?? Only those who benefit from peer reviewed journals ..

Isn't that why the powers that be want to put it in the water ???

They need to add a spermicide agent to the water around the Mangapai area.

Anyone with half a brain knows we all benefit from peer reviewed journals. Have you guys been snorting fluoride by the pound or something?

He did, and I did. Too slow bud

[Scuba_Steve]

so, havard and shit have done a study. NOW (as opposed to before science), flouride is a neuro development inhibiting fuken thing, ie makes people stupid. (and docile and easy to police/control)

Who'd have thought.

Im looking at you, auckland.

thought this was old news, 1st recorded use of Fluoride was in Nazi camps... & it weren't for the prisoners teeth

Teaching conspiracy theorists to use logic is hard work...

I imagine it would be, sort like "preaching to the choir" thing

Yeh choir boys aren't that well know for their logic skills either

Oh dude. seriously?

Its supposed to be science. you know, that stuff that gets you clean water, electricity, food you can eat and all the wonders pretty much of the modern world. And in that context, I suggest, a peer reviewed academic journal is infinitely better than looney tunes on the net. I'm talking NATURE or SCIENCE or something. One of the Epidemiological journals. Actual science.

my tolerance for crystal spinning "alternative" "medicine" holistic New Age vegetarianist bullshit is pretty thin these days.

Know what they call "alternative medicine" that actually works?

medicine.

Open wide! Here comes a train!
Chuff chuff chuff chuff... Woooooooooo. Ooooooo!

Hmmm ... I disagree. Science is no more grounded on anything real any more than "crystal spinning' (which, incidentally, I do not subscribe to.)

Lakatos (one of the more recent philosophers of science, and an empiricist) tried to defend science because "it is getting closer to the truth" .. However - how do we know that? If there is a "truth" out there, and we know we are getting closer to it then why not just go there ... we must know what "truth" is if we are getting closer ... actually we do not know that at all ..

Lakatos then says "well, science is getting better" At which point Feyerabend and myself fall about laughing and say "how the hell do you know that?" and "Are you seriously grounding science on a value judgement?" (the debate between Feyerabend and Lakatos is interesting and raises many issues for science - in the end, Lakatos pretty much agrees that Feyerabend's Anarchic philosophy of science is probably correct)

Science only has more credibility because people like you (and in some sense people like me, as I'm a peer reviewer for a couple of journals and I've published in such journals - yeah I know - but it amuses me and it pays me what I regard as shitloads of money) give it credibility ... "The role of the Intellectual is to justify the role of the Intellectual" (to paraphrase Marx).

But peer reviewed journals and "science" are not the only places that knowledge resides .. and in fact some journals are definitely NOT the place where knowledge resides ...

Neat!

Quantum entanglement should lead to a heap more advances for humanity words in a book and jobs for sciency types

Yeah ... Quantum and particle physics are probably the messiest areas ... when "just looking" changes things how can you know what is going on?
