e radical left wins, they will open the floodgates to illegal immigration and fraud and won't be America anymore. That feels fair. That does feel fair, doesn't it? That we're so close to fixing a lot of stuff, but at the same time all it would take is one election, especially if the election is rigged. It would only take one election to reverse everything. We are really teetering on the edge here,…
← Previous segment →me take a step and get back to that. I'm massively dehydrated but intentionally. So according to Sabine Hossenfelder, there's a new paper that has just dropped that says that scientists are 40% more productive when they use AI and increase their paper output. And for non-native English speakers, it's even more, up to 80%. So apparently this only applies to the writing part. So it doesn't apply to the actual science part, it applies to the writing it up and submitting it to technical journals. So as she warns, if the thing that got faster was not the science part but the writing it up and publishing it part, the scientific publications are going to be overwhelmed with what I will call science slop. So if you assume that half of the science is fake anyway, which is what it is, if you increase the number of fake papers along with the number of real ones, are we better off? Do you think the world is better if suddenly there are way more published papers just because it was easy to write them up? I don't know. I'm not sure that makes us better off. So more slop. And I believe I saw RFK Jr. say that the once credible technical journals are essentially owned by the pharma companies and the big industry. So that what you thought was this credible process of peer review was nothing like that, that basically it was a bought and paid for situation. Owen says get rid of the filibuster now. You might be right about that Owen.
Anyway, so R

FK Jr. says they're going to stop publishing. I don't know how they do this. Maybe just government publications, but they're going to ignore the once credible publications because they're no longer credible. And I think he wants to start, you also had to pay. You had to pay $10,000 to be published. So that doesn't seem like a good model, but I guess RFK Jr. is going to push for some government-end…
