  1. Q: Why does String Theory (misnamed) get a free pass? A: Could it be because armies of physicists built their career on speculation but cannot accept that their hours of speculation aren't "science". Or maybe because - rather than be skeptics -most people would rather believe in any old crap such as inflation, dark energy and dark matter? - making "inflation" a flaw of human social psychological interactions? "Das ist nicht nur nicht richtig; es ist nicht einmal falsch!" - Wolfgang Pauli

  2. Brian Keating talks too fast, and spends too little time reflecting on and trying to falsify what he just said. I'd like to ask Brian a question: "What would it mean for you to talk to another person for 5 minutes without speculating?"

  3. "Eric", discussed here, seems to be Eric Weinstein : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Weinstein - worth listening to some of his interviews.

  4. Can we also assay the "standard" greenhouse gas model which the self-styled "Scientific Consensus" tell us predicts the "climate crisis", which we can't see in the data? I think assaying this GHG model is more important as "stopping the climate crisis", which isn't happening, is costing us trillions of dollars.
