The Problem Is Solved by Art, Not Science

The Problem Is Solved by Art, Not Science by Jeffrey A. Tucker at Brownstone Institute So much of what is considered science today is really just art. It’s a subjective interpretation of the meaning of data. Data does not speak for itself. It does not tell you cause and effect. It provides no predictive map for the future. It’s often incorrect or merely a proximate rendering of the full reality. Even the best and most experienced experts and invested stakeholders cannot overcome this

Trump’s Art of the Deal Collides with Modi’s ‘India First’ Policy by Ramesh Thakur at Brownstone Institute For the purposes of containing China’s influence and aggressive behaviour across the Indo-Pacific theatre, there is no more important partner for the US than India.

There is no future in attempts to ground the

How the American Academy of Pediatrics Betrayed Children Everywhere by Clayton J. Baker, MD at Brownstone Institute The prime directive of Western medicine, its golden rule, is expressed by the Latin maxim primum non nocere – first, do no harm. Unfortunately, the Covid era taught us that from the patient’s point of view, a better motto for our times might be caveat emptor – let the buyer beware. Every medical student is taught that, first and foremost, they should not cause harm to their

Weaponized “Misinformation” to Bury Safety Concerns: The Case of RSV Monoclonal Antibodies by Yaffa Shir-Raz at Brownstone Institute A recent critique raises a number of claims regarding my article. This response addresses the substantive points directly, focusing solely on the evidence. When evaluating new interventions for healthy newborns, presenting the full safety record – including every death – is not optional; it is a fundamental obligation. This is always true, but in the

Retsef and Malone Need Top-Secret Clearances for Their Covid-19 Vaccine Review by Joe Murphy at Brownstone Institute ACIP cannot successfully do its Covid-19 vaccine review without access to Covid-19 origins intelligence.

The Art and Science of Storytelling by Russ Gonnering at Brownstone Institute There was a boy named Joey… In the late 1970’s we were living in a wonderful lower duplex in a suburb of Milwaukee. We had become acquainted with a couple of about the same age, also with two children, also the same age as our two. The children got along fine, and we shared many great times together. A few years later, as our family grew, we moved a few miles away but kept up contact. Their older son, Joey, was

A mental health professional might view the results and conclude that your child has a mental health problem…that needs to be psychiatrically diagnosed and treated, even medicated.

Geoengineering and Flights of Fancy by David Bell at Brownstone Institute Geoengineering in the form of modifying the weather happens. It can save decimation of farmer livelihoods by mitigating droughts, and it can risk the global food supply by reducing crop growth. Like nuclear fission, it’s useful in the hands of sane people working with the knowledge and assent of the wider community, or it has the potential to destroy much of what humankind has built if left in the hands of psychopaths.

The systematic replacement of natural systems with artificial ones has reached into every domain—money, food, health, education, information.

Is Modern Medicine a Sham? by Bobbie Anne Flower Cox at Brownstone Institute We are living in a point in history where so many, if not all, of the foundational pillars of our society are being questioned. In some cases, those pillars are almost wholly being cast aside. Once the cornerstones of our American backbone, we are finding ourselves doubting it all as we ask ourselves and one another…Can the government truly bethatcorrupt? Are the courts actually compromised? Are major media outlets really
