Half of Americans Believe National News Organizations Intend to Mislead, Misinform or Persuade the Public to Adopt a Particular Point of View Through Their Reporting
February 15th, 2023I wonder why they would think such things?
They should try the New Zealand Herald instead.

Half of Americans in a recent survey indicated they believe national news organizations intend to mislead, misinform or persuade the public to adopt a particular point of view through their reporting.
The survey, released Wednesday by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, goes beyond others that have shown a low level of trust in the media to the startling point where many believe there is an intent to deceive.
Asked whether they agreed with the statement that national news organizations do not intend to mislead, 50% said they disagreed. Only 25% agreed, the study found.
Similarly, 52% disagreed with a statement that disseminators of national news “care about the best interests of their readers, viewers and listeners,” the study found. It said 23% of respondents believed the journalists were acting in the public’s best interests.
“Some Other Entity,” and “Lock Your Doors Tonight”

A Louisiana senator has advised citizens to “lock your doors” following a classified briefing to lawmakers on the unidentified objects shot down over the weekend.
Four objects have been shot down over North American airspace since February 4. The first was identified by the Pentagon as a Chinese surveillance balloon, but the U.S. Defense Department has not confirmed the nature of the remaining three objects. Intelligence officials are “considering as a leading explanation that these could be tied to commercial or research entities and benign,” the White House said on Tuesday.

$3 Epilepsy Drug to Treat Autism [???]
February 15th, 2023Via: New York Post:
Scientists are reporting a breakthrough discovery: A $3-per-pill epilepsy drug may be used to “switch off” autism symptoms in mice, according to a new peer-reviewed study published Tuesday in Molecular Psychiatry journal.
…
A team of experts at Germany’s Hector Institute for Translational Brain Research found that the medication lamotrigine — an anti-seizure drug first approved for use in the US in 1994 — was able to curb behavioral and social problems linked to the disorder.
Cornell Researchers Developing On-Demand Male Contraceptive
February 15th, 2023Most media are simply focusing on an eventual male birth control pill, but look at the research that has gone into this so far:
Drs. Buck and Levin did not initially set out to find a male contraceptive. They were friends and colleagues with complementary skill sets. But when Dr. Levin challenged Dr. Buck to isolate an important cellular signaling protein called soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) that had long eluded biochemists, Dr. Buck couldn’t resist. It took him two years. Drs. Buck and Levin then shifted their research focus to studying sAC and eventually merged their laboratories.
The team discovered that mice genetically engineered to lack sAC are infertile. Then in 2018, Dr. Melanie Balbach, a postdoctoral associate in their lab, made an exciting discovery while working on sAC inhibitors as a possible treatment for an eye condition. She found that mice that were given a drug that inactivates sAC produce sperm that cannot propel themselves forward. The team was reassured that sAC inhibition might be a safe contraceptive option by another team’s report that men who lacked the gene encoding sAC were infertile but otherwise healthy.
Wowzers.
I never got around to writing it, but long ago, in the spirit of Rainbox Six, I envisioned a story that involved a sort of binary bioweapon. If a man drinks a soda containing compound A by itself, he doesn’t become infertile. If he eats a candy bar containing compound B by itself, he doesn’t become infertile. But if he consumes products containing both compound A and compound B within a few hours, he would be infertile for a week, a month or whatever.
The SPECTRE-type group gives up on eat-ze-bugs, etc. and switches to sprinkling these additives in things that sit under heat lamps in gas stations and drop out of vending machines.
It would be very insidious and difficult to find. Medical professionals would shrug shoulders and tell people having infertility problems that they were unlucky. Researchers who got close would commit suicide, etc.
I researched the topic a bit and determined that it wouldn’t make for that thrilling of a story, because it already happened in one way or another. Count Down by Shanna H. Swan is a recent summary of the trend that has been in place for decades.
Anyway, I wonder if common processed food ingredients and/or environmental pollutants inhibit soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC)? You know, an unfortunate coincidence, perhaps?
Could an mRNA “vaccine” be developed to cause men to produce TDI-11861 themselves?
Hmm.
Via: Cornell:
An experimental contraceptive drug candidate developed by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators temporarily stops sperm in their tracks and prevents pregnancies in preclinical models. The study, published in Nature Communications on Feb. 14, demonstrates that an on-demand male contraceptive is possible.
…
The new Nature Communications study demonstrates that a single dose of a sAC inhibitor called TDI-11861 immobilizes mice sperm for up to two and half hours and that the effects persist in the female reproductive tract after mating. After three hours, some sperm begin regaining motility; by 24 hours, nearly all sperm have recovered normal movement.
TDI-11861-treated male mice paired with female mice exhibited normal mating behavior but did not impregnate females despite 52 different mating attempts. Male mice treated with an inactive control substance, by contrast, impregnated almost one-third of their mates.
“Our inhibitor works within 30 minutes to an hour,” Dr. Balbach said. “Every other experimental hormonal or nonhormonal male contraceptive takes weeks to bring sperm count down or render them unable to fertilize eggs.”
Additionally, Dr. Balbach noted that it takes weeks to reverse the effects of other hormonal and nonhormonal male contraceptives in development. She said that since sAC inhibitors wear off within hours, and men would take it only when, and as often, as needed, they could allow men to make day-to-day decisions about their fertility.
Drs. Balbach and Levin noted that it took substantial medicinal chemistry work to develop TDI-11861, and this was accomplished in partnership with the Tri-Institutional Therapeutics Discovery Institute (TDI). The TDI works with investigators from Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and The Rockefeller University to expedite early-stage drug discovery.
Balloon UFO Reality Check
February 15th, 2023You know, I know and Reuters knows that this incident doesn’t involve what most people would associate with the term, “UFO.” So why put something out that can be summarized as: U.S. Shotdown a UFO?
The trickster is winking at us here.

Richard Dolan deals with the cringe inducing stupidity of what the media and government are doing here:
“We see, again and again, how the established powers do everything possible to throw confusion over the subject of UFOs. They have done this from the 1940s, onward, incessantly to the present moment… and they will continue to do this because the fact is the UFO phenomenon is a problem they don’t know how to solve. They don’t have a solution to the genuine UFO phenomenon.”

Blue Origin Manufactured Working Solar Cells and Transmission Wire from Lunar Regolith Simulants
February 14th, 2023Can someone from Blue Origin (Cryptogon has many readers from there) please let me know how you propose to power this process on the moon? The part about the molten regolith, “At temperatures above 1600 degrees Celsius,” left me wondering how you’re planning to pull that off.
Via: Blue Origin:
Since 2021, Blue Origin has been making solar cells and transmission wire from regolith simulants.
To make long-term presence on the Moon viable, we need abundant electrical power. We can make power systems on the Moon directly from materials that exist everywhere on the surface, without special substances brought from Earth. We have pioneered the technology and demonstrated all the steps. Our approach, Blue Alchemist, can scale indefinitely, eliminating power as a constraint anywhere on the Moon.
What Is ChatGPT Doing… and Why Does It Work?
February 14th, 2023I’m surprised that Wolfram didn’t place quotation marks around, “Work,” in the title of this essay.
In a piece from a few days ago, Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT, he shows several fascinating examples of ChatGPT giving wrong answers to prompts involving quantitative data.
Via: Wolfram Writings:
The first thing to explain is that what ChatGPT is always fundamentally trying to do is to produce a “reasonable continuation” of whatever text it’s got so far, where by “reasonable” we mean “what one might expect someone to write after seeing what people have written on billions of webpages, etc.”
