Perdocent – Opposite of the Autodidact

The perdocent exploits the claim of not having been taught how to do something, as a means of not understanding, of taking control, or to avoid doing any actual work. As a management professional, no matter their appeal to credential, never let a perdocent take control. Always seek to maintain familiarity with the perdocent’s tactics of ego, laziness, and cleverly concealed dishonesty.

The influenza/coronavirus viral interference argument is and always was something like propaganda or imaginative science fiction

The influenze/coronavirus viral interference argument is and always was something like proganda or imaginative science fiction.

I plan to write up a full article at a later date, but I'll frame the argument…

First, there are no examples of such interference in history despite the presence of a gazillion or so viruses. That should be the first Bayesian hurdle, not knowing anything else such as a mechanism for interference.

Second, the mechanism would (99.9%) then be specific to the presence of the spike protein since that is really the only place in the virus with much machinery at all that is unique to SARS-CoV-2.

Has anyone ever explained how this novel protein relates to influenza?

Influenza is a segmented recombinant virus, meaning it can shift pieces of its genome around to combat countermeasures. That's why it is hard to cure all at once.

So, the mechanism involved would have to defeat all circulating permutations of the influenza genome from day 1.

That seems like the equivalent of in ending a new genre of music that becomes everyone's favorite immediately, all over the world.

There are only so many ways you can call SC2 a novel virus without a well-earned eye roll.

“The covid vaccines have killed a lot of entirely healthy people who were at zero risk. I call it state mandated murder. ” ~ Dr Mike Yeadon

Yeadon told us this would happen in December of 2019. We posted his warnings on ABN when they came out. Alterative covid science and information has consistently been much, much better than the deliberately “nudged” disinformation coming from the CDC, FDA, NIH, NIAID. I am not proud or happy about that at all. It makes me sick. Our entire government needs a huge house cleaning. I would be content with paying the perps off and letting them live out their lives indulging in their ill-gotten gains if they just go away and let us put honest people in charge. Imagine if Yeadon, McCullough, Malone, Craig, and so many others had guided us through this pandemic instead of the narcissistic Fauci, Walensky, Collins, Birx, etc. ABN

Covid has proved conclusively that uncontrolled information triumphs over controlled information

Controlled covid information is and was information promoted by the US government, US mainstream media, mainstream science, mainstream academia, Big Pharma, most state governments, school systems, etc.

Uncontrolled covid information is and was all the information that disagreed with the above and sometimes agreed with the above.

Everyone—all of us—had skin in the game. The debate between controlled and uncontrolled information has been waging since early 2020 and continues today.

It is very important and significant that today we can say that uncontrolled information won the debate conclusively. We beat the crap out of controlled information. The nudgers lost very badly.

I bring this up and emphasize it because it is important that we all reflect on this and seal it in our minds. Uncontrolled—anarchic—information is the path to truth, justice, and the American way. We winnowed out the bullshit, considered many ideas that did not pan out, were afraid of no thoughts whatever, yet rarely if ever supported or promoted anything that was not sound information.

Covid is the single best example in our lifetimes of the power and brilliance of the free exchange of uncensored information. Compared to the controlled and restricted information demanded by the parties described in paragraph one above, uncensored information has won the debate decisively and been on the winning side for the duration of the argument.

I believe this very large example involving the entire world can serve as an example for all kinds of information and all kinds of debates.

Clearly, we must work very hard to ensure free speech, free information, no censorship, no governmental control of information. There is no single issue that is more important and covid has proved it. ABN

The concept that one has a “gender identity” rooted in sex-based stereotypes that can differ from the body is complete pseudoscience that hails from the most intellectually bankrupt sectors of the social sciences. There is absolutely no biological basis to support that claim

I have Asperger’s and my “special interest” is gender ideology, which means I spend every waking minute thinking and problem-solving on how to quell this monster. Everything points to exposing the abysmal quality of “scientific evidence” that props up their beliefs. 🧵

The concept that one has a “gender identity” rooted in sex-based stereotypes that can differ from the body is complete pseudoscience that hails from the most intellectually bankrupt sectors of the social sciences. There is absolutely no biological basis to support that claim.

Activists claim that gray matter studies prove there is a biological basis for trans identities, but they didn’t control for homosexuality. Similar studies were done that did control for homosexuality. Guess what? There’s a biological basis for homosexuality—not trans identities!

The claim that “gender affirming” care is “life saving” and that trans-identified people are more likely to kill themselves if they don’t receive it is a lie based on a bad interpretation of statistics.

https://thepostmillennial.com/debunked-researcher-demolishes-the-transgender-affirm-or-suicide-myth

The studies these activist-researchers put out are genuinely worthless. Biased samples, poor experiment design, bad methodology & erroneously drawn conclusions from their data. Yet they are picked up by mainstream media and hailed as irrefutable proof.

https://thepostmillennial.com/debunked-new-study-claiming-theres-no-social-contagion-among-trans-identified-youth-roundly-refuted

@UWMedicine found that the use of puberty blockers and hormones didn't improve the mental health of trans-identified teens, but published a study claiming they did. When they were caught, they conspired to conceal it.

https://thepostmillennial.com/university-of-washington-busted-covering-up-negative-study-findings-for-teens-receiving-gender-affirming-care

The scientists who claim sex is a spectrum use hermaphroditism in animals and irrelevant developmental conditions in humans to support their beliefs. There are two sexes because there are two sex cells that the anatomy is organized around in development.

https://thepostmillennial.com/debunks-popular-science-blogs-bimodal-portrayal-of-sex

I’m telling you guys, all of the “evidence” propping up gender ideology is junk that must be exposed if we want to see any real change. They use the authority of “science” to stifle debate, affect policy and influence social media platforms’ rules on censorship.

We need a task force to critique the studies they use to support their beliefs. We need to amplify the work that’s already done by unbiased researchers & make it more accessible to lay people by breaking down main points. We need a central hub where all this info can be located.

Statement on the Ethical Principles of Public Health, on behalf of Hillsdale College’s Academy for Science and Freedom, Washington D.C., August 23, 2022

During the SARS2 coronavirus pandemic, fundamental principles of public health were ignored, and trust in public health has been damaged. As experts in public health, medical science, ethics, and health policy, we propose the following ten principles to guide public health officials and scientists, in order to ensure the credibility of public health recommendations and to help restore public trust.

Ethical Principles of Public Health

1.   All public health advice should consider the impact on overall health, rather than solely be concerned with a single disease. It should always consider both benefits and harms from public health measures and weigh short-term gains against long-term harms.

2.   Public health is about everyone. Any public health policy must first and foremost protect society’s most vulnerable, including children, low-income families, persons with disabilities and the elderly. It should never shift the burden of disease from the affluent to the less affluent.

3.   Public health advice should be adapted to the needs of each population, within cultural, religious, geographic, and other contexts. 

4.   Public health is about comparative risk evaluations, risk reduction, and reducing uncertainties using the best available evidence, since risk usually cannot be entirely eliminated.

5.   Public health requires public trust. Public health recommendations should present facts as the basis for guidance, and never employ fear or shame to sway or manipulate the public.

6.   Medical interventions should not be forced or coerced upon a population, but rather should be voluntary and based on informed consent.  Public health officials are advisors, not rule setters, and provide information and resources for individuals to make informed decisions. 

7.   Public health authorities must be honest and transparent, both with what is known and what is not known. Advice should be evidence-based and explained by data, and authorities must acknowledge errors or changes in advice as soon as they are made aware of them. 

8.   Public health scientists and practitioners should avoid conflicts-of-interest, and any unavoidable conflicts-of-interest must be clearly stated.

9.   In public health, open civilized debate is profoundly important. It is unacceptable for public health professionals to censor, silence or intimidate members of the public or other public health scientists or practitioners.

10. It is critical for public health scientists and practitioners to always listen to the public, who are living the public health consequences of public health decisions, and to adapt appropriately.

We can win this battle

We can win this battle. Have hope because the other side offers nothing but despair, disease, bad economics, fear, child abuse. Unlike communists of the past who had widespread support within their populations due to terrible living conditions, Western communists today have nothing good to offer. We look around us and see that everything gets worse when they are in power. This is a central reason we can win this battle. ABN

“You just have to make sure that the masses exhaust themselves, destroy themselves before they destroy you” ~ Mattias Desmet

So very true. A powerful message for those of us who really know the truth. Don't give up and don't lose hope

This video clip was from a show called, "The Last Wake Up Call". My apologies. Forgot to include that in my original post.

Sorry my apologies, this clip was taken from a Telegram account called, "The Last Wake Up Call". It's been a long day lol so again I'm sorry for the mixup.

Houston, We Have a Problem (Part 1 of 3): The Ethical Skeptic

Seven of the major eleven International Classification of Diseases codes tracked by the US National Center for Health Statistics exhibit stark increase trends beginning in the first week of April 2021 – featuring exceptional growth more robust than during even the Covid-19 pandemic time frame. This date of inception is no coincidence, in that it also happens to coincide with a key inflection point regarding a specific body-system intervention in most of the US population. These seven pronounced increases in mortality alarmingly persist even now.

The following work is the result of thousands of hours of dynamic data tracking and research on the part of its author. The reader should anticipate herein, a journey which will take them through the methods and metrics which serve to identify this problem, along with a deductive assessment of the candidate causal mechanisms behind it. Alternatives as to cause which include one mechanism in particular, that is embargoed from being allowed as an explanation, nor even mere mention in some forums.

At the end of this process, we will be left with one inescapable conclusion. One which threatens the very fabric and future of health policy in the US for decades to come.

Taking cross-sex hormones and undergoing “gender affirming” surgeries does not change your sex

Taking cross-sex hormones and undergoing "gender affirming" surgeries does not change your sex.

Signed,
A female who took testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy and who never stopped being female

I dare anyone to tell me I'm "less of a woman" now.

I dare anyone to tell me I "changed sex" and then "changed sex" back again.

I am an adult human female – I always have been – that's not a choice or an identity or a "feeling."

It's just what I am.

Anarchic information has won the debate: The people can handle uncontrolled information and triumph


One beautiful thing about our time is we can clearly see that anarchic information—information that is not controlled—is good and better than controlled information. For ages there has been a philosophical fear that if information is not controlled (“curated” in current parlance), people will be misled and chaos will ensue. The opposite has clearly happened with all things covid. It has been the anarchic information streams that have consistently provided the best information and consistently weeded out bad information. Information coming from blogs like this one, Rumble, Bitchute, Odysee, Substack, TruthSocial, Telegram, and the edges of Twitter has proved to be better by far than information coming from the CDC, NIH, WH, Congress, NYT, WaPo, MSNDC, etc. “Mainstream information” has been so bad during covid, it has even swallowed up science, scientific debate, normal clinical medical practice, and more. Contrast Vlaardingerbroek with Bourla, or Peter McCullough with Tony Fauci, the Ethical Skeptic with the Bill Gates. During covid, vast streams of uncontrolled, anarchic information have very beautifully won possibly for all time the argument that “the masses” cannot handle raw information, that it must be controlled. It is clearer today than ever in history that controlling information is synonymous with the people in power controlling their own power and nothing more. The example of covid can legitimately be extrapolated to all other public issues. ABN
