Well written Lawrence - glad to see a statement on this. I would love to see James Lindsay on the podcast to discuss the Hoax Studies or Thomas Sowell to discuss Affirmative Action and Minority policies in general.

That is the magazine I trolled on your Discord a while back. They were reporting on an experiment that indicated the potential existence of leptoquarks, and beauty quarks. Somehow they confused two labs and never described anything, just named the quarks with a series of interview snippets from scientists who may not all had even been involved. It was so bad I had to research until I found something I could understand. I finally realized I was not missing anything in the article, it was just terribly written! Like an editor had two articles and only one column to fill so they said "Make these into one, use the interviews and lose the science..."

Science magazine is definitely uneven. And the editors are too.

Prof. Krauss,

My deepest love and respect for you. The chance of you seeing my comment is well worth the subscription fee.

My name is Abraham, Arabian is my race, I don't believe in the infallibility of any religion. Instead, like any sentient being, I love patterns and dread entropy, and that's why like any sensible being I strife against destruction.

Philosophy, physics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology, help humans understand what it is that this is. It is a remarkable fact that we are in it yet do not know how, why, and what it is.

What the discipline of physics has uncovered is much more worthy of the grand awe and adoration than what most people used to give to religion.

In relation to this post I got one word that should utterly shake the foundation of any claim, as silly as it may be, of any white privilege in science, and that word is; JEWS.

Thank you very much!
