What a lazy response. It's not feasible to check every experiment and formula yourself, but you should read what you cite. At least read the paragraphs you cite from. What a waste of public resources.
Replying to @jimduey @eiszett
You absolutely should not trust anyone’s work … that is how science works! You always doubt and look for inconsistencies. Only when many people independently reproduce and extend a concept then it can become accepted.

"Middle-class Europeans dismiss most things American as fake and consumerist, but the progressive politics they’ve adopted, cultivated in Harvard and distilled through Hollywood and Netflix, are entirely that – mass-marketed American rubbish, the junk food of political opinions."

In China, a good Joe will buy you a house, give you all his salary, help you raise the children. He's not funny, you don't want to have sex with him, it's not exciting when he takes you to fancy restaurants (you're both just staring at your phones), but it's functional and safe. Jack will be fun for the first few months, but, after a while, he will start controlling you and forbid you to go to the gym without him. He will demand you to quit your job and help him with his fried rice cart business. You agree, because he drives a Mercedes and seems ambitious. He then impregnates you. Later you find out that he paid for everything with loans and is $100K in debt. He also has an undisclosed son with another girl, who is being raised by his parents in his hometown. One day, loan sharks appear at your door step and Jack is nowhere to be found. 10 years later, now fat and bald, Jack calls you. He's in prison for sexual harassment and asks if you could loan him $10K asap or they'll bash in his knee caps.

You buy a German anvil. It contains 83 moving parts and requires winding twice a day. It's forged from excellent steel, holds tolerances across all three striking faces to within three microns, includes a beautifully indexed horn-adjustment mechanism nobody asked for, and requires a proprietary 11-point spanner should you need to replace the rebound calibration bushing. It runs flawlessly for years, but one day it starts up in limp mode because the onboard anvil-management system detects that it's overdue for its 50,000-strike inspection. You search AliExpress for a Chinese anvil, and are presented with a multitude of offerings from such household-name brands as DUKXJYIBF, HDBTGMXI, AND UEJQIP. They're all priced to within a few pennies of each other, appear completely identical except for the nameplate, and obviously all came out of the same factory. You text your blacksmith friend to ask if they're legit. He tells you he got one like that from KIXJBU a few years ago, and that it's been great and a terrific deal. You thank him, but KIXJBU seems to have folded so you buy the one from UEJQIP. When it arrives, it feels suspiciously light. You scratch it and realize it's iron-plated aluminum. You buy an American anvil. It's five times the price of the competition, but it comes from a brand that your great-grandfather used to love. It comes boxed with a warranty registration postcard, twenty pages of safety instructions, assay certificate, and a regulatory slip which lists its FCC certification and ITAR registration. It looks just like your friend's KIXJBU. There's a "Made In China" sticker on the bottom. You buy a Russian anvil. It arrives coated in cosmoline, wrapped in newspaper from 1974, and weighing 40% more than advertised. The finish looks like it was machined with a shovel. The face is not flat, but somehow this does not matter. You drop it off a truck, accidentally leave it outside for six winters, and use it to straighten a bulldozer blade. It's fine. You buy a Swedish anvil. It comes flat-packed in a long cardboard box with cheerful Neo-Grotesk lettering and a line drawing of a smiling man assembling it with an Allen key. The instructions contain no words, only pictograms showing the anvil face, horn, waist, feet, and 112 identical-looking fasteners. Halfway through assembly, you discover that the pritchel hole was installed upside down, but only because you used peg B17 where you should have used peg B71. Once assembled, it is clean, stable, and works better than it has any right to. You immediately wonder whether you should have bought two. You buy a Japanese anvil. It arrives wrapped in rice paper inside a paulownia box, accompanied by a certificate bearing three generations of signatures and a photograph of the first production example being presented to the Emperor. The face has been hand-polished by a seventy-eight-year-old master whose family has made striking surfaces since the Muromachi period. You are given detailed instructions for oiling it with a cloth folded in a specific way. It is the most beautiful object you own. You never quite work up the nerve to strike it.

🚨 so let me get this straight.. if the Trump admin sends Witkoff and Kushner → there is no deal.. if they send Vance → they already know they're losing.. if they send Rubio → the deal is basically done they just want the photo.. if they send Trump himself → the deal was done yesterday and he's taking the credit.. if Trump announces it → good news.. if Hegseth announces it → bad news.. the most secretive administration in decades.. gave you a five-envelope cheat sheet for every outcome before it happens.. and the press corps is STILL asking for press releases.. either they don't know the pattern.. or they know and they're choosing to play dumb.. both answers are embarrassing.. follow for more of whatever the hell this is becoming..

This meme pretty closely matches my current meaning crisis. I could work harder on everything now that my health and energy are returning. But I don't want to. Like, what's the point? What's it all for in the grand scheme of things? I've realized that even leaving an imprint on the world feels kinda superfluous at this point. Schopenhauer saw this abyss and said you just need to suppress your will. Nietzsche saw it and said lean into the Dionysian. Other thinkers have tried to answer the Riddle of the Abyss with various copes or tricks like by saying "oh you just are asking the wrong question" as if you can use words to switch off human nature. Nihilism is looking at the abyss and saying "aha! There's no meaning! You are free!" But that's a non sequitur. Just because you can't find something outside doesn't mean it isn't there. Postnihilism says that we tried believing this nonsense and it left us miserable. More than a century of nihilism hasn't helped. So we start grounding things in the body. That's what I call Somatic Realism. But every answer to the Riddle of the Abyss is unsatisfying. So I thought "maybe the demand for closure is the problem" - we cannot expect answers, especially to questions we may not get. But this is the same move Schopenhauer made. "Just suppress your human nature, bro" You're not free to make your own meaning. You're bound by physics and humanity. But humanity has a paradox. We can ask gigantic, cosmic questions that are unanswerable to us. Our reach extends well beyond our grasp.
