This is the alternate forms of knowing now being taught by science. You end up with having to acknowledge that nonwhite people having psychic powers.

Not a single scientific body has stood against this. The self declared (and not disputed) pro-science and “reality based” government of Canada is pushing this hard.

Science is now literally magic.

Do they perceive infinite grudges up to the Paleolithic or do the psychic powers only click when they're emotionally manipulating a target population?

In my jurisdiction it's just the power lobby. No matter what, you need the grid operator to move the power from you to the consumer. Solar power at utility scales is a losing proposition because of overproduction (too much energy because of too many solar panels). Private scales are always a good idea because you never get penalized for overproduction and you can cut your power bill in half or more.

The big issue is that the way the market is structured, solar gets paid at solar prices regardless of battery storage, so no one builds battery storage even if it's cost effective (VRFBs are, for the record).

This is very specific to my local context, which is historically (and persistently) retarded.

For your home, it is never a bad idea to get solar and LFP battery storage, unless you live in alaska or something.

Lol no it isn't. And he has the order reversed. Dark matter came first. A Catholic priest invented the big bang theory based on the story of creation in the bible to explain cosmological red shift and then everyone pretended like it was so fucking genius. Problem is it's not true and it doesn't match the findings of the universe. So when you try to cram the universe into a big bang theory you have to explain why the universe isn't working the way that you observe it to be. The first iteration of this caused dark matter to be theorized. But of course if you have enough dark matter to make the universe make sense compared to the observations of it now it no longer works again so now you have to add dark energy, by the end you get an equation that makes no fucking sense and a worldview where 96% of the universe is bullshit. The solution to this, of course, is that the big bang theory is bullshit. But it's sacred in cosmology so nobody's allowed to question it.

>>
>>17016224
You read multiple papers until you have enough understanding on the subject to discern what is plausible and what isn't, if you still can't tell research that topic specifically or attempt to replicate some of their findings.
If you can't do that then don't worry it's totally irrelevant if you "believe" in any paper your opinion won't matter anyways.

>>17016224

>>17016224
>How to distinguish between real papers and bullshit papers
The thinly veiled secret is that almost everything is bullshit based on fake data, no one ever goes back to replicate a study or they will always use info that support their bias, and the moment somebody finds something wrong it's decades too late.
The more somebody references others the more likely it is that the data is polluted, so you can only trust studies made first hand or heavily tested, and bad news, you and your peers (sometimes) are the only ones that you can trust with that. If you were to make a meta analysis made of thousands of studies with thousands of data how much would you replicate and verify? you wouldn't test or verify said data, it doesn't help you get closer to the truth, a bigger collection of garbage in doesn't stop it from getting garbage out, but it is helpful for lying with statistics as it helps you be able to cherrypick.

take >>17016290, in that case it is easy to tell it is bad paper because you can see the AI, but what can you do when you have to corroborate something based on it? nobody has done it before and nobody will, what if somebody else makes their research using >>17016290 among others ? will you also verify all the papers that made that one new paper? how much influence did it have on that new paper? Nobody can tell.

So what is the best you can do? If it is for the truth, test everything with as much skill as you are able, otherwise it is a problem for somebody else some decades ahead to solve, and only when it becomes a problem for them.

Contrary to what some could believe, there is always a bigger bias to publish something that can't be tested than something that is truthful

Not a creationist but this isn't actually proof against creationism, your just stating that similar creatures have similar DNA which a creationist would have no problem with. What a creationist would have a problem with is dissimilar creatures having similar dna because of common ancestry, like whales being mammals and having small useless feet hidden inside them.
