When I was younger, it felt like half the ppl I knew survived by being in medical studies as their source of income.
As a result, I sometimes have difficulty taking study outcomes seriously! Because let me tell you, ~nobody getting paid to be in studies is telling the truth.
And sure, studies are designed to filter for that, but it’s much more difficult to control for coordinated deception. It used to be that people doing studies were a cohesive community & would help each other. One person would figure out the right answers or behaviors and then spread the word.
I saw addiction studies with no addicts, smoking studies with no smokers, sleep studies with groups of people alternating responsibility for wearing the monitor each night, etc etc
Now whenever I see the results of some study I kind of squint and try to imagine what the results mean if the participants are a preformed active coordinated group attempting to maximize the income for themselves and their friends.

NET ZERO - Chevron to close in Scotland.
75% tax rate on North Sea oil and gas has made it impossible for companies to stay. Chevron’s exit ends 50+ years of investment, jobs, and energy security, all sacrificed on the altar of “net zero”.
All net zero really means is job losses, economic decline, and national self-sabotage 💣

A11pl3Z
A mysterious visitor from another star is getting close
A giant interstellar object named #A11pl3Z is speeding toward our Sun from deep space.
It’s not from our solar system, its strange path proves that. Around 20 km wide, it's far bigger than the earlier visitors like #Oumuamua.
It's moving at nearly 68 km/s and will pass near Mars and the Sun later this year. Scientists still don’t know if it’s a comet or asteroid, but it could carry clues from another star system.

A new third interstellar visitor -probably an asteroid- A11pl3Z has been discovered on July 1.
It has a high eccentric hyperbolic orbit (65km/sec speed) & size 20km. Its perihelion will be on October 29, 2025.

🧵What if ʻOumuamua was just step one... and A11pl3Z is the follow-up?
Back in 2017, something strange flew through our solar system.
It didn’t stop or orbit, it just passed through.
Let's discuss 'the Mothership theory'👇
