Paradigms and power in science and society

Defending good science, good sense and good scientists (Peter Duesberg, Kary Mullis, Jim Watson, Peter Medawar, Erwin Chargaff, Linus Pauling) against subjectivity and self-interest in the culture wars of cancer, HIV/AIDS, evolution, global warming, nutrition, finance, economics and other fields where reigning wisdom is disputed, judging truth by the peer-reviewed professional and scholarly literature generally opaque to the media, and by the investigative reporting of reliable independent journalists.

Men truly pious and philosophical are led by their reasons to honor and love only what is true, and refuse to follow traditional opinions, when they are false. - Justin the Christian martyr (scourged and beheaded for refusing to sacrifice to the gods, by command of Emperor Marcus Aurelius).

Guidelines for Tips and Comments:

Friends, greetings and welcome to all without bias,
We hope that you will with open mind try us.
But all due respect we have to give warning,
That this space is not for establishment fawning.
Nor is conspiracy theory the truth that we teach,
And paranoids, please, use Hyde Park to preach,
It is scientific review that is welcome here
From any damned heretic who can think without fear.

For the question we raise is, is top science reliable,
When billions pour in, or does it become all too buyable?
We invite here all comers intent on defending
Good science with a standard of truth that’s unbending,
To set aside politics, power games, positions and prizes,
And expose cosy backscratching in all its disguises,
Let’s reject venality, and vanity, and PC censors,
And free up pure science from social consensus.

Together we’ll review all conventional belief,
Without any regard as to who’ll come to grief,
In the light of the best studies in medicine and science,
These are the references on which we’ll place our reliance.
Yes we know very well they can also be twisted,
By the factors above that we sorrowfully listed,
Sure, all human endeavor is subject to bias,
But if you seek objectivity we hope you will try us.
