Perhaps that flaw that you speak of is envy.
Envy drives the progressive/lefty/collectivist/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderers to do what they do.
It drives the intervenors into doing what they do.
It drives the regulators into doing what they do.
It drives the statists into doing what they do.
It drives the pearl clutchers into doing what they do.
It drives the infuencers into doing what they do.
It drives the celebrities into doing what they do.
It drives the poor people into doing what they do.
It drives us into doing what we do.
Is this what the real driver of most of our problems is?
Can you show me different?
Often the sunk costs are so overwhelming that even having many meals together and being close friends will not overcome the past investments in reputation and knowledge. It is a difficult process.
Everyone has too many sunk investments in whatever theory that they are pursuing and professing. That one fact, alone, makes it very difficult to change course and thought patterns. Giving up on sunk costs is one of the most difficult things to do for most people, especially if you have put in years and years sinking those costs. The investments were too great to just walk away from when presented with another idea.
Thanks for the well reasoned reply. I did not go to the extent of looking to the original article in Science Magazine. You are right, everyone seems to be writing only to get their own viewpoint in front of people and not to give both sides a clear and fair hearing.
By the way, The ScienceTM is a sarcastic criticism of those, like Fauci that claim that they and only they do science in the correct manner. It is not meat to criticize science in general because most scientists do not do The ScienceTM but they do do science, if you get my drift.
I also have a bone to pick over the way traditional journals do business. They seem to be organized to only publish the current paradigm of whatever subject matter they cover. There is no place for new ideas in a strictly peer reviewed system, and that is the reason it is set up in that way. I guess that is why is is said that the changing of the paradigm only comes after all of the old paradigm professors die off.
To sum it all up, researchers solved the long-standing puzzle of how cold ions break free from the atmosphere by measuring this slight voltage across Earth’s poles.
Scientists see this field as an important key for unraveling how other planets lose air into space. The same physical processes may apply to places like Mars and Venus, where subtle electric forces could be influencing the thickness and composition of their skies.
Studying these effects on different worlds might even shed light on the potential for life elsewhere in our solar system.
Experts emphasize that this newly confirmed electric field surrounding Earth stands alongside magnetism and gravity as a fundamental feature of our planet.
“Any planet with an atmosphere should have an ambipolar field,” Collinson said. “Now that we’ve finally measured it, we can begin learning how it’s shaped our planet as well as others over time.”
This is an interesting discovery because it is another means for the planet to maintain its equilibrium atmosphere and keep it in a condition to support life. I just wonder what happened with Mars and Venus to get the atmospheric conditions that obtain there now. This field could be as important as the Schumann field for life on this planet.
Wow, what a huge understatement!!!!!
I think there is going to be such a change in our situations that, really, nobody understands it. I am thinking of Musk’s 14 (that he has found, so far) magic money machines. If they have pumped out 100X or a 1000X the money, unbeknownst to any other monetary authorities, what will that do to FRNs?
Yep, you made a really big understatement their, my friend!

It goes on about how the universities operate, which is why there is so much heavy debt amongst previous students.
I have noticed that these folks, kids, if I may, seem to have a really high time preference for things. That means they want it now, right now, and cannot wait to save up or scrutinize alternatives for a more reasonable price. They just take on the debt and then wonder why they are in such a debt trap and are constantly worried about any changes in their circumstances. It is as if they did not know that life is nothing but a big bundle of changes, changes now, changes later and changes all around for everybody. They were never taught that little factoid.
And either way, it is trouble coming down the turnpike!! I would not like to be on the other end of either way this could break.
Naah, they don’t want that, they want price floors and price controls and people controls. Isn’t it amazing how this works for them?
I don’t know about that, but I do know that everybody is playing dirty tricks on everybody else!! Was this a trick or an unforced error? I have no idea, but it seems to work either way.
Really? You think that was an accident? OK, I’ll take your word for it as long as I don’t have to count on it for anything.
I never knew that one! I like to use the thin, scratchy luffa towel that you can wring out as often as needed and use as a wash towel, too. All the tools in one! :)
I guarantee that you will hear it!! My kids are very disdainful of the state and state employees. They constantly point out that there are four leaning on shovels and only one doing the work, then cussing about it. They seem to be very happy hearing about DOGE. For some strange reason, I do the same.
