We continue our series of trying to understand the Expertocracy, our form of government, and its uses of propaganda to further the goals of our rulers.
I have two friends, both lawyers from excellent law schools and both 55+, who fall for every bit of propaganda without hesitation. They didn't used to be this way but the nonstop lies since Trump's election broke their brains, and pride and vanity prevent repair.

The shift to co2 as the villain baffled me when it happened. The old war on CFCs and so2 made some sense, I never really bought it but it was at least possible theoretically. I really thought of it as an excuse to get some fairly nasty pollutants out of the atmosphere, kind of an amoral altruistic vibe. A group I was part of actually did some neat work on how NaCl desorbs from a water surface back around 2000 with an eye to estimating the amount of chlorine radicals produced by wave action of the oceans to start to get a grip on how much of ozone destruction by Cl was natural but then the shift to blaming co2 made nonsense of it all.(my guess was always natural and cyclical as the dominant model which seems to have been mostly right, yay me)
But the shift to blaming co2 really woke me up a lot to how much science had become Science(pbuh).
I really thought of the pre-co2 global warming as an excuse to get some fairly nasty pollutants out of the atmosphere that wasn't so much on the level but not evil, kind of an amoral altruistic vibe. But the demonizing of co2 is sort of when all of environmentalism purged itself of the altruistic elements to go full hog on misanthropy.

Many such cases.

another schooled daze ‘fact’ that requires scrutiny
Water is not H2O
Peter Peterson has an eBook titled
100 reasons water is not H2O
https://projectcognition.com/100-reasons-water-is-not-h2o-by-peter-peterson-pdf/
And this links to my article titled
We breathe air not oxygen
I have a new take on lung physiology
The lungs are rehydrating RBCs with saline water and have nothing to do with a gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
Rehydrating RBCs just like the ubiquitous saline drip.
RBCs have two states
Dark contracted - dehydrated
Bright expanded - hydrated
RBCs are dynamic sponges that transport saline water to thirsty regions
The red light monitor is watching hydration not oxygen levels.
To understand why I could say such a thing, you need to know why oxygen was invented and how it would s manufactured
Oxygen is manufactured from air, it is a product of air, rather than a constituent of air.
Oxygen is calibrated by its dryness, Eg medical oxygen has 67 ppm of water contamination
Industrial oxygen has 0.5ppm of water contamination
Oxygen exists, compressed inside containers and if released, rehydrates to become air once more.
Lung physiology requires the air reaching the alveoli to be at 100% humidity
Air is measured by its humidity or moisture
Can you see the conflict?
Curiosity plus scrutiny equals better science

Pretty quick we'll be back to candles and horses.
Ty for ending on so much-needed optimistic note 🙂
