Avoid, at all costs, the toxic allure of certainty. Uncertainty isn’t a flaw; it’s a feature of scientific progress. The toxic allure of certainty can blind us to new evidence, better explanations, and real progress. Science isn’t about being right—it’s about being less wrong over time. Embrace uncertainty. That’s where growth happens. — #brokenscienceinitiative #infographic #ScienceMatters #CriticalThinking #StayCurious #ScienceFacts #EvidenceBased #QuestionEverything #Skepticism #PhilosophyOfScience #RationalThinking #IntellectualHonesty #EmbraceUncertainty #GrowthMindset #LessWrong #HumbleInquiries #ThinkDeep #FoodForThought #DeepThinking #ChallengeYourBeliefs #unpopularopinion #mindsetshift

Over 113 million people watched an eye-opening ad during last night’s game — a drug company’s bold portrayal of America’s obesity crisis, followed by their pitch for a GLP-1 injection as the “solution.” 💉 GLP-1s like Wegovy and Ozempic are all the rage for weight loss, Type 2 Diabetes, and even addiction. But are the potential risks worth it? Coaches, athletes, what do you think? Today on The Daily Fix, we dive deeper into the growing debate, and ask YOU to weigh in on the daily fix message board.

In today's newsletter, we look at a talk by Emily Kaplan, cofounder of The Broken Science Initiative, exposing systemic failures in modern science and healthcare. She highlights issues like manipulated cancer research, flawed peer review, and profit-driven incentives that erode scientific integrity and mislead subsequent studies. She also exposes the healthcare system for prioritizing medication over prevention, fostering a 'disease economy' that neglects root causes like poor nutrition and lack of exercise, with women’s health suffering from decades of underrepresentation.⁠ ⁠ The full lecture is available at brokenscience.org or on the Broken Science Initiative Youtube Channel. ⁠ ⁠ Sign up for the weekly newsletter to not miss out on future events, new material, and more!⁠

From the 2024 BSI Epistemology Camp: Greg's talk focuses on the 'breaking point' between modern and postmodern science. He critiques the rise in popularity of philosophers of science like Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend, Thomas Kuhn, and Imre Lakatos, while praising their critics, such as E.T. Jaynes and David Stove. Greg also addresses the misuse of statistical methods, particularly P-values, and emphasizes the importance of a deeper understanding of probability theory.⁠ ⁠ Additionally, Greg underscores the need for individuals to safeguard themselves against scientific misconduct and corruption. While he offers no solution to the systemic issues within science, he advocates for education as a means to help individuals navigate and avoid its pitfalls.⁠ ⁠ The full talk can be found on the Broken Science Youtube Channel, or at brokenscience.org⁠ ⁠ #brokenscienceinitiative #brokenscience #science #bsi #Epistemology⁠ #ModernScience #PostmodernScience #PhilosophyOfScience #CriticalThinking #ScientificIntegrity #ProbabilityTheory #StatisticalMisuse⁠ #ScientificCorruption #KarlPopper #ThomasKuhn #ImreLakatos #ETJaynes #Education #ScienceEthics
