I‘ve not yet seen it called the SCAMdemic, so I’ll plant my flag in that name. Of course, it’s not a hoax, there were plenty of fatalities. But it was NOT the danse macabre that was promised by “SCIENCE!”
Science has become a very elastic word. Some people think its a synonym for truth. Maybe in Isaac Newton’s day, but 21st century science is laced with bullshit. Because its been politicized.
Oh, and those scienTISTS. Many are assholes claiming to be scientists. There isn’t a lot of standardization for who gets to call themselves a “scientist.” If you think you’re a scientist, then you are one. Like this guy.
He has no credentials in “science.” Zero. So he calls himself a “science communicator” — in the fine print. Neat, huh?
Science and “expert” have become interchangeable. Bill Gates has referred to himself as a “health care expert.” Throwing money at something does not make one an expert. I once threw pennies off of Hoover damn. Does that entitle me to call myself a hydro-electric engineer? In Gates’ and Nye’s world it does.
I don’t claim to be an expert at anything, but I can recognize a trend when I see one. And the recent dust up between this head case
.and some bird-watcher in New York’s Central park is a clear indication that the Scamdemic of 2020 is waning. People are walking dogs, watching birds and getting pissed at each other and then becoming infamous on Twitter. Which says they’re not so worried about the Kung Flu anymore.
Crazy Amy was the inspiration for this episode. Not too often do we see someone self-destruct in a short video as she did. So I thought I’d offer some ideas on how not to self-destruct.
Then there was the bizarre case of Copper Stallion, the wedding videography outfit that self-destructed over a measly $1,800 deposit, which they refused to refund to would-be groom whose fiance died before the wedding.
For decades, Copper Stallion will be a case study in how to destroy a business. Their crowning achievement was setting up a bogus website to brutally mock the customer with the dead fiance. They wisely removed the site, but guess what – the internet never forgets. Some 3rd party archived Copper Stallion’s revenge site, and here it is. Enjoy.
