I've noticed there always an "assembly" period where the inevitable two camps of psychos have yet to form and ideas and hope are floating around everywhere. Then the camps form and who knows what's real, because all available information is skewed by both to support their narrative.

This was especially fun in the early COVID days when it was just data and outbreak tracking. Then it.. well you know.

Science is basically just attempting to delay that calcification, but it happens regardless.

It's been fun learning about this. And I believe it is important and I'm happy people are sharing results mostly without serious bias. So far.
