Hungary Cuts Taxpayer Funding To Inane Gender Studies Departments

Lord Buckbeak

There is an intra-academic war to control the academy, and the reason is simple: control of institutions like media and academia is essential for a social revolution. By Sumantra Maitr OCTOBER 18, 2018 – for The Federalist “Gender studies challenge existing structures that are perceived as natural and enduring, and in doing so, they directly challenge the ideological commitments of the radical right,” thundered an obscure British teaching fellow named Megan Armstrong in an op-ed for openDemocracy. Armstrong argues that Hungary’s lurch toward the right is essentially an attack on open inquiry at universities, as shown by the latest hardline move of “banning” gender studies … Continue reading Hungary Cuts Taxpayer Funding To Inane Gender Studies Departments

The conceptual penis as a social construct

Lord Buckbeak

My cmnt: The conceptual penis as a social construct was actually published here in Cogent Social Sciences. It was sent to these deranged Leftists as legitimate research by two writers simply wanting to demonstrate that completely off-the-wall, zany, gobbledygook is easily mistaken, even by so-called experts, for real-world science. I publish just page one here because you probably wouldn’t believe it otherwise. My cmnt: Taken from an article by By Peter W. Wood JUNE 1, 2017 – for The Federalist – here is an explanation: A different mathematician and different philosopher teamed up to write and publish an article in an academic journal in … Continue reading The conceptual penis as a social construct

Some actual benefits from the Covid-19 over reaction

Lord Buckbeak

Covid-19: the most over-hyped, over-blown ‘pandemic’ in the history of mankind still has an upside As of today allegedly 500,000 Americans have died of Covid-19. That figure is most likely overstated by a factor of 10. In a typical flu season between 25 and 50,000 Americans die from the flu. Most of those are very young children and elderly adults. The remarkable thing about the Wuhan Flu is that children are hardly affected by it at all. According to Dr. Scott Atlas, senior fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and former chief of neurology at Stanford University Medical Center, “the … Continue reading Some actual benefits from the Covid-19 over reaction

Due to Global Warming unprecedented cold hits U.S.

Lord Buckbeak

By Sycophant Press – Feb 15, 2021 – from the AP Dateline: Lincoln, Neb. Democrat Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird acknowledges that the citizens of Lincoln are in for a Dark Winter echoing her mentor and spirit-guide, fake president Joseph O’Biden. “He who walks in Darkness” warned us that there would be shortages of natural gas after he closed America’s largest natural gas reservoir in the Marcellus Shale (PA & WV) – 2,836 billion cubic feet. Mayor Baird continued, ‘It is unfortunate, and no one expected it would happen so quickly, but we are going to have some rolling blackouts of … Continue reading Due to Global Warming unprecedented cold hits U.S.

As Science Frauds Go, Haeckel Beats Piltdown Man

Lord Buckbeak

by David Klinghoffer@d_klinghoffer November 9, 2020, 4:13 PM – for Evolution News & Science Today My cmnt: see my post Ernst Haeckel: Social Darwinist, Racist & Fraud. Ecologist Jeremy Fox at the University of Calgary offers a list of scientific frauds, with Piltdown Man at the top of the list. Writing at his blog Dynamic Ecology, he remarks, “Gonna be hard to top this one, I think.” Is it? From, “What’s the ‘greatest’ scientific fraud of all time?” Charles Dawson (it almost certainly was him) faked actual fossils rather than, say, numbers in a spreadsheet. Although he didn’t fool everyone, … Continue reading As Science Frauds Go, Haeckel Beats Piltdown Man

A Third Infinity — The Infinite Complexity of Cells

Lord Buckbeak

by Michael Denton – October 2, 2020, 6:47 AM – for Evolution News and Science Today Editor’s note: We are pleased to offer this excerpt from Dr. Denton’s new book, The Miracle of the Cell. In terms of compressed complexity, cells are without peer in the material world, actualized or imagined. And there is likely far more complexity still to uncover. Even as recently as 1913, when Lawrence Henderson composed his classic The Fitness of the Environment, the cell was a black box, its actual molecular complexity a mysterious unknown. Only as the veil began to lift with the mid-century … Continue reading A Third Infinity — The Infinite Complexity of Cells

Ernst Haeckel: Social Darwinist, Racist & Fraud

Lord Buckbeak

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist and an strong proponent of scientific racism. He, and Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, were highly influential in promoting the idea, strong among liberal political socialists, that African people were genetically inferior and should be wiped out or at least limited in their population. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and embraced an interpretation of Darwin’s pseudo-scientific theory of modification with descent that promoted the idea that “survival of the fittest” was a natural law that could be applied to … Continue reading Ernst Haeckel: Social Darwinist, Racist & Fraud

Darwinism: In pictures

Lord Buckbeak

Darwin drew a lot of criticism from his contemporaries and a fair amount of ridicule also. His fellow biologists and other scientists realized the many weaknesses in his theory and to his credit so did Darwin. His critics were mostly correct but Darwin glossed over the deficiencies in his theory rather than admit the theory simply did not correspond to the observed world. Darwin himself raised these points in his seminal work.  He recognized that they were valid objections then and unfortunately for the committed Darwinist they remain valid objections today. The first is the fossil record.  Darwin knew this … Continue reading Darwinism: In pictures

No Need to Panic About Global Warming

Lord Buckbeak

The Wall Street Journal OPINION JANUARY 27, 2012 No Need to Panic About Global Warming There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy. My cmnt: Anyone with any real knowledge of the history of science knows that ‘scientific consensus’ is not how we settle scientific arguments.   Too many times to mention has scientific consensus been proved wrong by later discoveries.   What matters in science is demonstrable data and facts available to everyone that show some article of scientific doctrine to be correct, at least for the time being. The science we universally teach … Continue reading No Need to Panic About Global Warming

The Real Climate Science Deniers

Lord Buckbeak

Paul Driessen|Posted: May 16, 2020 12:01 AM – for TownHall.com Posted: May 16, 2020 12:01 AM Fifty years ago, I helped organize Earth Day #1 programs on my college campus, calling attention to serious pollution problems that afflicted much of the USA. Over the ensuing decades, laws, regulations, and changed attitudes, practices and technologies reduced most of that pollution, often dramatically. I didn’t buy into the 1970 end-is-nigh, doom-and-gloom, billions-will-die hysteria that Ron Stein and Ron Bailey summarize, including the manmade global cooling crisis. I don’t buy it today, either – certainly not this year’s Earth Day focus on the alleged manmade global warming crisis, also blamed on emissions … Continue reading The Real Climate Science Deniers

A review of “Darwin on Trial” and a response

Lord Buckbeak

In the July 1992 issue of  Scientific American Stephen Jay Gould wrote a scathing review of Phil Johnson’s book Darwin on Trial.  My cmnt: I have included Gould’s review, in full, below because it is hard to find without a visit to the library. He called it, Impeaching a Self-Appointed Judge, a clever take on the fact that Phillip Johnson was one of the premier law professors in the country. After unsuccessfully ignoring the book for two years, Gould finally attempted to discredit it with his nasty review, claiming the book was full of errors. Johnson wrote a detailed response–but Scientific American refused to … Continue reading A review of “Darwin on Trial” and a response

Climate ‘Experts’ have poor track record

Lord Buckbeak

Breitbart News Climate ‘Experts’ Are 0-41 with Their Doomsday Predictions by JOHN NOLTE 20 Sep 2019 For more than 50 years Climate Alarmists in the scientific community and environmental movement have not gotten even one prediction correct, but they do have a perfect record of getting 41 predictions wrong. In other words, on at least 41 occasions, these so-called experts have predicted some terrible environmental catastrophe was imminent … and it never happened. And not once — not even once! — have these alarmists had one of their predictions come true.

Concerned Scientists Reply on Global Warming

Lord Buckbeak

My cmnt: With the further politicalization of science by the world’s Leftists and nature worshipers we must all be on our guard against false claims of ‘science’ and scientists who, like in the former Soviet Union and Russia today, demand consensus rather than actual observations to be the determining factor in what is science and what is not.
