The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

To me, this sums up why having researchers with a range of backgrounds and life experiences is so critical to scientific innovation. We all experience different chaos and develop unique abilities to solve our way out of it. Science is poorer when it does not draw from many different lives.

Sometimes inspiration came from unexpected places. Hamilton would often bring her daughter, Lauren, to the lab with her on nights and weekends. Lauren, then four years old, liked to play astronaut in the team’s simulators, and one day, pressing buttons at random, she caused a spectacular software crash. Hamilton investigated and found that Lauren had confused the program by keying in a pre-launch sequence, called P01, “in the middle of the mission,” she says.

… as Chloe notes, this disinformation campaign didn’t just involve Kremlin state broadcasters; it was actively promoted by conspiracy theorists in Western Europe and North America, such as David Miller, Peter Hitchens, Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate.

“It wasn't just Kremlin outlets doing the amplifying. In the UK, professors, retired military officers and former diplomats - people whose credentials lent an air of authority - helped launder the disinformation too, sharing clips of the press conference on "alternative" media as proof the west had made it up. It fed a broader
"anti-imperialist" story: that Assad was being smeared for daring to defy Washington and London. And it left behind an argument that still circulates today: that the OPCW was a corrupted, western-controlled institution. This narrative was anchored by one image that did more work than any of the diplomatic language around it: a child, alone at a conference table, telling the world the attack had never happened.”
