Hi! 👋 I downloaded the documents and read them. Did not see what the hoax fuss what about. So I asked Claude. Then ChatGPT. None of us could find a conspiracy. Seems like we shared an awful lot of process intel through. Did someone check to see if that was okay?

i have really come to believe that this — treating the public like its too stupid to understand anything complex — is one of our big problems.
Savvy operative types in DC truly believed then and believe now that average Americans are too dumb to understand how government works or why it exists. Educating and defending the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—with its profound impact on people for negligible taxpayer cost—was a layup.

Thank you for pointing out what should be patently obvious but for some reason is not.
the president does not actually have the power to fire a university president or a museum director, but if elites simply roll over under pressure, then effectively he does

So 2025. We all have to read Scientific American for evidence-based vaccine recommendations.
Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

If we limit global warming to +1.5°C, more than half of non-polar glaciers can be saved.
