Trust the Science

"Trust the science" is not an invitation to read 2 studies and pretend like they encompass the entirety of a field's body of work. At the very least (seriously, any less is silliness): find 200 studies, get AI to write 1-paragraph summaries for each of them, and then read those summaries. 200 paragraphs from AI is only like 40-50 pages. If you cannot be bothered to read that much you are not "trusting the science". Anything less than this is faith, not trust.

Too many have faith in our institutions, in the media, in the random stuff their grandmother says, in all sorts of things. Very few people have taken the time to gather enough evidence to establish trust. The internet grifters love this quality of American society. Kamala Crash and Project 2025 are excellent examples of this.

Kamala Crash was 1) not a stock market crash (merely a dip), and 2) has nothing to do with Kamala. If we look at the markets and the concomitant pressures over the past 6 months, the market was clearly running hot; any bubble will eventually burst. The market is already beginning to swing back up and it will likely normalize in the next week or two before going into another period of swelling and then falling. Anyone who was strategically diversified across capital assets barely felt this latest dip. No big deal.

Project 2025 is a set of documents written by private citizens. No one in public office is pushing this document into legislation. The goals written within it are the goals of those private citizens who have written it; they are a sort of wish list from a bunch of wealthy people who are whining about the Constitution, Laws, and Judiciary of these United States. Project 2025 is not Trump’s. trump has Agenda 47; it is completely different from and in many cases contradictory to Project 2025. All of this uproar has done no more but thrust the Heritage Foundation into the spotlight and aggrandize them.

These are examples of people having faith in institutions and media. Institutions and media propped up Project 2025 and Kamala Crash without evidence to support the theories. They are simply click bait. Trust requires knowledge. Faith in institutions requires an empty skull. Your choice.
