Scientific American Editor-In-Chief Has Spectacular Post-Election Social Media Meltdown
Subsequently, Laura Helmuth disavowed her screed and vitriol. Unfortunately, it is a sign that too many scientists would rather offer elitist insults then address reasonable concerns and different ideas.

I have been following Scientific American’s steady decline, both in terms of its handling of science and its actual support of policies helpful to this nation.

A few of my recent articles show that progressive ideology has pretty much captured this once-respected publication.

Scientific American Article Claims There’s No Difference Between Male, Female Athletes

Scientific American Covers Itself with Shame Again, This Time by Using Term ‘Birthing Parent’

 Scientific American is Now the Bud Light of Science Journals

Scientific American Colludes with Other Major Media to Normalize ‘Climate Emergency’ Terminology


One of the primary reasons this descent into madness has accelerated is that the editor-in-chief, Laura Helmuth, has allowed pseudoscience and narratives to flow unfiltered with little if any restraint.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

Yeah, you'd think so, but we're talking about Democrats here, and they're incapable of logic.
The abnormal is not the normal just because it is prevalent.

Or honesty, or integrity, or empathy.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Scientific American, National Geographic, both went down the AGW rabbit hole long ago. I won't pay for either.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nat Geo has never been the same since they stopped showing native boobies.
