Aren't all cospiracy theorists affected by the inability to imagine that all other living humans exist independenty with indepandent thoughts? There's a word for that! Anyone remember it? Cheers, and always love listening to the Skeptik's Guide

2024-05-14 14:34:54 +0000 UTCThis isn't a SONIC weapon, as RB kept repeating. He seems to not understand physics. This could be (is?) a microwave weapon. It wouldn't produce a sound except in the victim's brain. RB pushes a diagnosis which just happens to be his area of expertise. A chiropractor sees everything in terms of the spine. He seems incredibly biased and defensive to me. Pulsed microwaves will not produce much heat if they have a low duty cycle. Microwaves can be produced with very narrow bandwidths which would not interfere with cell phones or other electronics ordinarily in use. Microwave weapons are absolutely feasible and almost certainly exist. It seems to me that yes some or even most of the reports could be "psychogenic", but some are probably not and RBs degree of certainty that all are products of the victims thinking isn't warranted.

In a nutshell, eugenics never went away. After WWII, it went underground, rebranded, and continued to publish in specialized fringe "journals." When it returned in force, it even ended up in the Bush Jr White House. It continues to be touted by conservative and libertarian think tanks.
