Ahhhhh, Bullshit!

Have something related to a scientific discovery/theory or philosophy point you want to discuss?

Also the right spot for discussions about environmental issues facing the world.

Ahhhhh, Bullshit!

Still missing Carl Sagan... in honour of his 89th, here's an article on his Baloney Detection Kit.

Great tools, they be, and no blunter for their age or constant use.

I didn't play close attention to the recent surge in prominence of Elle McPherson. I thought maybe she was in some sense a victim of wellness bullshit. I didn't realise she is a profiteering perpetrator of this garbage, selling "Goddess Elixir" for $60 a bottle.

She healed holistically apparently, but with the aid of surgeons, doctors and hospitals!
She controversially claimed she had “healed through breast cancer” with the use of holistic treatments, despite admitting she had received two lumpectomy surgeries.
And now discourages people from seeking proper medical help? I mean look at this bullshit;
Her treatments included natural medications through “intravenous drips, dentistry, osteopaths, chiropractors and a lot of spiritual work”.
Dentistry, fucking dentistry, she does know that's for treating teeth and things right?
Ms Macpherson’s revelations were met with criticism from fellow cancer survivors including Kellie Hush, the former editor-in-chief of Harper’s BAZAAR Australia.

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki on Thursday compared Ms Macpherson’s treatment to a “lottery”.

“She chose to go in a lottery where she had a one in 20 chance of having bad things happen,” Dr Kruszelnicki told WSFM’s Jonesy and Amanda program.

“And luckily, the 19 out of 20 worked in her favour, and she was lucky.

“But ask yourself this, if one in 20 cups of coffee was poisoned, would you drink coffee? No.

“So she went into a lottery, and she came out well. Not everybody will. Nineteen will and one will die.”
So a one in twenty chance of death, and because she survived it's all down to magic fucking wellness shit lol!

I also didn't know she had hooked up with anti-vaxx criminal Andrew Wakefield. The Great Reset, Reptilians or Jewish space lasers can't be far off.
