Mainstream astrophysicists sure are a confident lot. Or are they?

Recently, as a result of the first JWST results, Allison Kirkpatrick, a self-proclaimed black hole scientist, told Nature magazine that she finds herself lying awake at 3 in the morning wondering if everything she’s ever done is wrong. And now there’s this from Chanda Prescod-Weistein, a dark matter scientist who I’ve commented on previously on this forum (see https://thunderbolts.info/wp/forum3/phpBB3 ... anda#p6011 , https://thunderbolts.info/wp/forum3/phpBB3 ... anda#p6300 and https://thunderbolts.info/wp/forum3/phpBB3 ... anda#p6405). She says, https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg ... -thats-ok/ , that “I work on the dark matter problem knowing the questions I have may be answered long after I die.” Now she’s just 40 years old so if she lives to 90, which I’m sure she at least hopes to do, then she’s may be admitting DM will still be a question mark for 50 more years. And since her questions may not be answered until “long after” she dies, she might be thinking it will take ANOTHER 100 years to know what DM is! Not very confident, but that's called promoting job security.

"Not very confident, but that's called promoting job security."

Maybe, but my understanding of "Red Pill" is that its not actually about the DISCOVERY of new inconsistent evidence or alternative science which changes your mind. Its actually specifically the moment you intentionally peer behind the curtain of Mainstream science and find out how much BS and false constructed narrative there is to keep it alive. And in that moment, you experience traumatizing disappointment from the understanding it isn't actually an intentional collusion, but more a fear induced group Manchurian candidate response triggered out of terror.

The fact mainstream share this sociologically common non intentional response, offers them the plausible deniability that there is no organized collusion involved, which is how they feel insulated from any insinuation of some conspiracy theories, and that limited understanding reinforces their ability to dismiss alternative challenges with an effortless hand waive.

Its at that point, you discover, out of great disappointment, you're free from the fear of stepping away from the comfort of mainstream thinking, at which point you THEN discover, as a result, you have become open to the many other non mainstream theories and realistic interpretations that show scientific merit. As a result of that experience, you all of a sudden find you now have the ability to see all mainstream BS like you're spotting the poker tells of a 6 year old.
