#Vitamins will not cure the #RFK #disease.

Hello!

My name is Alex Doppelgänger and I'm passionate about #science, #culture, #history and #boardgames.
In my spare time I write on my personal website and on Substack (in Romanian) about board games and their role in the development of culture, history and society. I also dabbled in popularizing science in my home country and fighting #pseudoscience as well.

[I'm posting this again, since I changed servers. So sorry for the spam, for my current followers.]

Pleased to meet you!

The secret to a perfect morning routine probably isn't what you think

We're often told all about the daily routines of 'rich and successful' people, but have you noticed how many of them are... bonkers?

I explain why for BBC Science Focus Magazine. What better way to start the week, eh?

What’s the difference between Punxsutawney Phil and the Myers-Briggs Personality Assessment?

One is a silly superstition with no real predictive power, and the other is a groundhog.

L'intégration du spectacle Cinéscénie du parc du Puy-du-Fou au Pass Culture est une abjection à l'image d'un gouvernement incapable de promouvoir une véritable vulgarisation historique de qualité. Comme l'ont démontré de nombreux historiens et historiennes depuis des années, les productions du Puy-du-Fou proposent une vision biaisée, fantasmatique et réactionnaire de l'histoire de France. Le Puy-du-Fou ment au public sur son histoire ! Le Puy-du-Fou endoctrine ! Nous ne payons pas d'impôts pour financer la pseudo-science et l'obscurantisme !

This is how it is done - and should be - all day and night every day and night - Sen. #AngelaAlsobrooks, the first #Black U.S. #senator in #Maryland history [she won against #trump supported #hogan], dragged Robert F Kennedy Jr.’s history of racist #pseudoscience to the fore during his confirmation hearing to lead the Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday. #HHS #congress #discrimination #hatred #science #publichealth https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/rfk-jr-alsobrooks-confirmation-hearing-vaccines-black-people-rcna190207

Phrenology is about to make a come back. If you're having trouble with a morally contracted inability to cash in on populism, brainworms can be therapuetic.

Makes me not want to take a swim

You may have read the recent interviews/headlines with Elle MacPherson, and her claims that “natural therapies” cured her breast cancer. I groaned when I saw this, and it turns out my skepticism was well deserved.

Her claims are dangerously misleading, and can cause other people to delay or decline evidence-based treatment (resulting in poorer outcomes and even death).

So I did an MBTI test and apparently I'm ISTP-T? Kinda accurate.......... it is accurate...

What phrenology is to our bodies, generative AI is to our creativity.
