Great to see a new post.

Some duplicate items you might want to check: 4 and 26, 5 and 22, 8 and 28, 30 and 42.

It takes practice to actually 'see through' much of the rhetoric out there and see these very devices they're using. Happy New year - hope you will write more often.

The Nov '16 wake up. I checked 3 different sites in absolute disbelief for identical reasons!!

I was then relieved the HC was served her lunch, and realized the fake news echo chamber had been exposed. NO ONE should ever forget. Fantastic reminder!!!!!

Awesome list. Where does “moving the goal posts” fit in here?! That’s a favorite by master manipulators, in my experience!

48. B. Denying a cause of an effect, by denying the effect. "It's probably just placebo effect, not a real cure."

yes, thank you so much. I had help from A.I. for this article.... particularly Grok. We need a return to real science with randomized PLACEBO controlled trials with clear results and statistical analysis of those results made public with corresponding PUBLIC display of all parties with conflicts of interest including all the NIH and NIAID affiliations who actually profited from many patents and medicines now "popularly" availab.e

Thank you for reading my substack.

However, "cause and effect" are individual cases. Placebo controlled trials are statistical collections of selected cases which cannot prove "cause and effect" in any individual case. We need to give appropriate weight to case studies and not rely totally on statistical studies.

What would be an interesting read is how to respond to logical fallacies not just to recognize them

great idea. I'm working on a piece about good/evil symbolism and how woke has stolen our icons/ideas.
