Canadian Risk Assessment Finds GMO Salmon Susceptible to Disease

"'The modus operandi at FDA is to rubber stamp AquaBounty’s flawed and biased studies and then call its review process 'science-based,''' said Jaydee Hanson, Senior Policy Analyst at the Center for Food Safety. 'FDA's inadequate risk assessment is at odds with reality, with science and with the public, which has long called on the agency to put consumers' health and environmental safety ahead of the corporate interests of the biotechnology industry.'"

Creativity And The Unremarkable Cerebellum: Motor Region Found To Play Surprising Role

"The effort required to produce a creative outcome definitely involves more activity in the prefrontal cortex, but, as the highest scores for creativity showed, too much activity in those regions did not achieve the most imaginative results."

Hallucinations and delusions more common than thought

IQ, Psy Ops and the “Civilization” of the Scam

"There is therefore a kind of Dunning-Kruger effect for different IQ distribution groups, not just the presumed superiority of the lower IQ groups’ delusion, but also in higher groups where we encounter the pillars and engines of social order (scientists, doctors, lawyers, etc.).  This class of persons curiously suffers its own forms of deluded superiority owing to the same ego-fragility and relativistic delusions that recall Socrates’ questioning to the artisans and politicians of his day.   Whether it be the local craftsman or the slightly more clever (or cunning) politician, Socrates discovered the same delusion persisted, that each class of persons presumed to know, when in fact, they did not.  And for both the lower class wage worker, up to the 'wise' politician, the delusory effect was the same."

Wrongfully treating academic debate as anti-Semitism

"In fact, the defenders of Israel on campus are in deep trouble, not because student well-being is at risk but because the rickety assemblage of distortions and myths used to justify support for Israeli policies can't withstand scholarly scrutiny. Having lost the actual arguments, Israel's defenders have now declared war on argument itself."

Native American Tribes Declare Sovereignty, Break Away from State of Maine

"The unique break in diplomatic ties signals the reassertion of full sovereignty for the Tribal Nations. The precedent and political implications could spread to other tribes throughout North America, and serve as a model for natives and non-natives alike as state and federal governments continue to enact laws violating the rights of the People, and others to protect the environmentally and economically destructive interests of corporations."

Seeing awe-inspiring natural sights makes you a better person

"This impressive set of carefully designed and conducted studies shows how important it is for us as individuals to stand back and look at the bigger picture and be inspired by others and the world around us."
