Alternative medicine: our savior or a waste of money?

Image
Is Alternative Medicine Killing Us?  Alternative medicine is prevalent in present society and also largely profitable. This ineffective and costly pseudoscience includes but is not limited to reflexology, magnet therapy, colon irrigation and as described by Penn Jillette “even though it might seem mainstream: chiropractic medicine” (Penn & Teller: Bullshit!). Complementary forms of healing are tempting to desperate or poor people, but alternative medicine is useless and can often time make an illness worse by prolonging actual treatment.     It is shared knowledge that over a century ago people used to practice the barbaric form of medicine called bloodletting which was the method of bleeding someone purposely until the so-called impure blood was drained. People in the 21st century would assume these ass-backwards forms of ineffective healing are in the past, but they’re wrong, DEAD WRONG, because today people have spent billions of dollars on useless shit that will suppos

Astrology Is Pseudoscience

Image
3 Big Reasons Astrology is Pseudoscience  Astrology: An ancient pseudoscience practiced by modern people.  Astrology has been around for as long as humans noted the stars had patterns (as early as 25,000 years ago) and roughly 2,000 years astrology was in the same scientific category as astronomy. It was a respected science during the same era that people believed in leprechauns, spitting on a wound to disinfect it and psychological disorders were caused by demonic spirits. However, unlike astronomy, astrology hasn't changed much since that era of crack-pot science. While astronomy has accepted scientific discoveries about the universe, such as a round Earth. astrology still clings to the idea that a person's day, week and lifetime can be predicted based upon the position of the stars, moons and planets. For anybody who hasn't heard of astrology it is just as crazy as it sounds, but for those that have been indoctrinated with horoscopes astrology is a legitimate fi

The Moon Landing Conspiracy Is Pseudoscience

5 Reasons Why The Moon Landing Conspiracy Is Pseudoscience   Calling The Moon Landing A "Conspiracy": A Denial Of Modern Science  In July of 1969 American astronauts and NASA accomplished what humans thought was impossible: we landed living humans on the surface of Earth's moon. Apollo 11 is arguably one of mankind's greatest scientific achievements and proof that Earthlings can go anywhere if we put our minds to it. However, the accomplishment has been slowly tarnished by a cluster of morons claiming that it never happened. The "moon landing was a conspiracy" began as early as 1976 with a book called "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle". Just as with every  moon landing conspiracy theorist the book was written by a person who never properly studied physics or astronomy. The movement spread like herpes with the World Wide Web and videos of supposed "proof" that it was all staged. Here are 5 o

Grinds my Gears: Reading Fiction Is Pseudoscience

Grinds my Gears: Reading Fiction Is Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/8/2017 Yes, I understand the irony of you reading my blog, but this is non-fiction. You're learning something, not much, but you can at least walk away after reading and say you accomplished something useful. Being forced to read works of fiction in school, work or by your girlfriend who joined a book club is just bullshit. I learned nothing and could have spent that time better. I could have been watching TV or lying in bed. I think we can all agree that reading sucks ass. It's an outdated form of media. These modern authors just expect me to use my "imagination" to picture what's going on in the story. Guess what nerds? Movies have taken your job and made it a million times better. Schools and books clubs need to toss all their fictional books in the furnace and turn them into something more useful: tinder! That's right, the only thing fiction books are good for is

Grinds my Gears: Touch Screen Keyboards Pseudoscience

Grinds my Gears: Touch Screen Keyboards Are  Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/6/2017  Touch Screen Keyboards, Touch Screen Games and Touch Screens in general What's pissing me off today? Well the fact that the whole world is obsessed with touch screens as being "the way of the future" and refusing to go back to the days of a keyboard attached to their smart phone. There's a large group of people who are probably just as annoyed: people with fat fingers, greasy fingers, sweaty hands, clumsy people and anybody who's ever had to use their phone after getting something messing on their hands. It's a stupid idea and I don't get what the big deal is about a touch screen with a physical keyboard.  That pisses me off!

Grinds my Gears: Fat People on Scooters Pseudoscience

Grinds my Gears: Fat People on Scooters Is  Pseudoscience  What's pissing me off today? 8/3/2017  Part 1 of an endless series on things that stress me out So, what is pissing me off today? A fat guy on a rascal scooter at the grocery store, that's what. This would be perfectly fine if he had an actual disability of some kind, but I could clearly see him walking into the store and he was able to get himself into the scooter. The store employees didn't even ask to see some paperwork that he needed the scooter, so he basically let himself be lazy and the store doesn't try to stop it. Society has given up on solving the obesity problem!  Giving a person a wheelchair or some other mode of electric transportation does not  make sense, to anyone. How can the "fatty fatty two-by-four, can't get through the kitchen door" lose weight if he/she never walks at all? I always thought doctors took an oath to protect their patients even from themselves, but

Flat Earthers Are Pseudoscience

3 Reasons Why A Flat Earth Is Pseudoscience       Flat Earth: A Denial of Physics This is my first blog post debunking the best and dumbest pseudoscience(fake science and pure bullshit), so I thought I would start with something easy and hopefully a subject that wouldn't bring too much hate. Although I'd love to debate and actual believer. So...my first thought when I heard about a Modern Flat Earth Movement was "Is this a joke? This has to be a joke! There's nobody that stupid." I should have known better. People can always surprise you with their stupidity.  Claim #1: All Space Travel Is A Conspiracy! The easiest way for a sane intelligent person to disprove the Flat Earth movement is to simply show them one of the countless photos of the Earth taken from astronauts, satellites, weather balloons etc. showing a round Earth. Well according to the Flat Earth believers the generally accepted answer to space photos is that everything about space trave
