"The most canceled scientist." PhD in Biotechnology. Hardcore Libertarian. Polyglot. From the Spectrum. CEO sunfluencer.
if you respect yourself, don't look up his profile. it's aggressively stupid with a pinned bullet point list of the worst takes.
his website is sunfluencer dot com and it looks like SEO catnip to push supplements, which is hilarious. I'm almost curious enough to see where he received his "PhD" in biotech.
Wtf he's apparently got a lot of work published and cited

shit, I've got a lot of work published and cited. it comes with the territory of working at an R1 and being a flex player, ready to attach on to whatever's funded and slice some salami.
strangely, it looks like it's all in aquaponics, so not exactly a materials scientist, but definitely the sort of bozo that "discovers" and markets dietary supplements on crank Twitter.
like I'm sure the guy can articulate the redox ladder and fix an aquarium pump, but I am not ordering his dropshipped magic pills.
We talked about 9/11 at some point during my welding course.
There were a lot of practices that changed after it.
we need to get the mythbusters back together to re-enact 9/11
You're telling me a little piece of metal can kill somebody? Fuck off
The funny thing about 9/11 truthers now is that they're all conservative hawks, so the idea that Bush engineered 9/11 to justify the Iraq War has largely been dropped and replaced with some weird shit about how it was all a real-estate plot or some bullshit and Iraq was just a byproduct.
The real conspiracy "theory": the US gov pushed 911 truthers to delegitimate any narrative except the official one.
("Theory" because this basically has to be true at this point. Also see the push to platform cranks like flat earthers and associate them with "conspiracy theory".)
100%. The Truthers never actually "follow the money" or ask "who benefits" (except when they do the generic conspiracy theory "It's da joos!" thing they always end up doing). Best way to tell the difference between an actual conspiracy and a "conspiracy theory" made up to distract. The questions that should be asked aren't "what is the physics of this" but "who benefits and why, and what have the implications of this been?" The actual, tangible real world effects of the event need to be analysed, not "The twin towers had enough fire extinguishers to put out a fire that size therefore the tower was destroyed by laser beams" or whatever.
I wonder if there was a plan to platform vaccine cranks, but this one eventually escaped containment and now the cranks are running the CDC.
Ah yes, the WTC, famously a solid column of concrete.
At no point did a tower collapse in 11 seconds. We all saw it live. They took a while before they fell.
I think they are referring to the actual collapse taking 11 seconds, not the time from the impact to the eventual collapse
Dr. Simon please may I borrow your laptop I only want to put 1 teaspoon of water into it.
Dr. Simon please breathe this pure helium
it has less mass than air so is extra safe.
Dr. Simon, fire sort of has a little bit of mass but hardly any compared to your house so I will just leave some little piles of it around I'm sure you won't mind.
i think 9/11 truthers should do what flat earthers do and make their own experiments. ~~i suggest they should fly another couple of planes into american buildings.~~
Jet fuel can't melt white paint!
