I'm an independent scientist (explained below), which means I'm free from forces of intimidation acting upon most scientists.

Science is rapidly deteriorating into a tool of propaganda for power mongers, as bureaucrats dry up funding for real science and pay only for outcome-directed research. Heavy handedness is also increasing drastically, as scientists who criticize too much lose their jobs. This situation created a need for me to take up various errors in science and explain misrepresentations.

The global warming fraud shows publicly what is happening throughout science. An agenda is forced onto real scientists and the public in contempt for rationality and evidence. Everyone is forced to submit to a fake consensus based on intimidation. (How the Firing Works)
(See also Oreskes.)

The public doesn't understand how science is deteriorating, because they equate technological advances with science. Technology produces a product which tests its adequacy, while science produces knowledge, which is abstract and questionable. So I attempt to describe what is happening in science in terms the public can understand.

Mushroom Research

In graduate school, I studied yeast physiology and stumbled onto the basic control mechanisms for mushroom formation. But I was forced into seclusion by mental pain, so I moved onto the previously vacated family farm and did mushroom research. Mental pain is not depression or schizophrenia. It is memories of pain too close to the surface and contacted by external stimuli.

Being independent allows me to explore the details of total mushroom biology in ways which are not possible at universities. Not the least problem at universities is that grant providers in the bureaucracies do not allow exploratory research which they assume to be a waste of time. They assume research is acquiring numbers with high technology, not an involved procedure of study.

After getting significant results with mushrooms, I attempted to publish in the science journals but was locked out. Science is a good-old-boys club, and I was an outsider. So I put the results on the internet. I then discontinued laboratory type research, because it is quite demanding without assistants.

In studying the morel mushroom I found unprecedented evolution, as the morel is in the process of evolving from a yeast. This is probably the first time in hundreds of millions of years that a single celled organism evolved into a multi celled organism, and it is occurring now. The recent and rapid evolution shows effects unheard of in biology. University scientists who study the morel are not aware of the morel evolution, and they create irrational explanations for their unusual results.

For the detailed science of this subject, check the web page titled Biology on my morel mushroom web site.

Basic Reality

I find that I must revert to philosophy to explain the overwhelming corruptions and what can be done about them. There is one answer, and it is highly effective. No corruption can stand up to truth.

My approach to criticism is to use basic realities as the underlying structure. Basic reality is the reality upon which other realities depend. Generally, this means starting with philosophical definitions, such as those for reality, truth, reason, etc.; but in science, it also means using basic principles as the determining influence.

There is a tendency to substitute a social analysis for basic reality describing results but not causes. This leaves a void. It doesn't explain why problems exist or what the answers would be.

Problems cannot be solved without correcting basic realities. The alternative is to expect someone to solve the problems, such as Congress, by pushing a magic button. It never happens. The public has the primary responsibility for solving problems through rationality which defines the causes and solutions. Reason only gets effective at solving problems when it gets basic enough.

Rationality

My concern is that rationality and objective reality are too often sacrificed to motives. The result is errors and corruptions. The corruptions won't end until the realities are untainted by motives.

Life is ordered existence. It can only be sustained through rationality. Rationality is reason applied. Reason is making relationships between realities.

Errors cannot persist where there is rationality. Showing relationships between realities clarifies subjects and develops truth.

Wherever there is a motive for corruption, irrationality is the methodology. Accountability is avoided, opponents are attacked subjectively, claims are not explained and obtuse logic is used.

The validity of any argument is in the degree of rationality. Fraud does not look like truth, because it is promoted through irrationality, while truth is promoted through rationality. The perpetual question with fraud is, where are the explanations and evidence. You don't find them in the promotion of the carbon dioxide fraud.

The IPCC reports on global warming are examples of fraud. They produce nothing but muddle and then draw monumental conclusions without real explanations or evidence, so readers cannot determine the reliability of the conclusions or produce direct criticism of them.

Real-World Microbiology

Being a mushroom scientist allows me to study real-world microbiology. This means that in observing, year after year, how microbes interact with their environment including other species, a picture emerges showing biological functions which are not visible to technical scientists who use published literature as their only source of information. It's like putting pieces of a puzzle together. As a picture emerges, it shows how other pieces fit into place.

For example, microbiologists usually do not know what botulism bacteria are doing in the environment. All they know is how it grows in the laboratory. About ever five years or so, some state will report birds and fish dying in a lake from some mysterious cause. After about two weeks of study, they will report it to be caused by botulism. A few years later, another state will report the same thing. What botulism is designed to do is kill fish and birds in lakes and then grow on the protein which sticks in the mud along the shore. This information never gets published; so each state has to find out separately how botulism takes over stagnant lakes.

Here's another example: Perhaps the most important bacterium in most northern soils in Pseudomonas fluorescens. It grows on cell debris in spring soil, which is released by all of the cells broken apart by ice crystals during the winter. It produces a blue-green, fluorescent, water soluble pigment. Scientists do not know why the pigment is produced. Other scientists know that insects are drawn by the high frequency radiation given off by flower petals. Insects would be similarly drawn to the fluorescent pigment of P. fluorescens in stagnant water, thereby carrying the bacterium around, just as they carry flower pollen around.

One finds an infinite number of such pieces of the ecological puzzle when studying real-world microbiology. But one has to be focussed on the questions, while scientists who study published literature only are not thinking about those subjects.

Physics

In 1982, I was reading a magazine called Science Digest. An article said astronomers observed masses flying out of quasars at ten times the velocity of light. Other physicists said it must be an optical illusion, because relativity indicates that nothing can move faster than the speed of light.

I was thinking about Einstein's equation which says that the energy in matter is equal to its mass time the velocity of light squared. It occurred to me that he would have had something if he hadn't squared the velocity of light, because nothing can move at velocity squared. He would have then been saying that there is enough energy in an atom to accelerate small particles to the speed of light. But the apparent reason why he squared it was because he was making a vague parallel to the equation for kinetic energy, which has mass times velocity squared in it.

So I looked into the subject. There is a precursor formula for the kinetic energy equation. It says force times distance equals kinetic energy for an accelerating mass. I recognized the force-distance analysis to be erroneous, because the force does not move through any distance relative to the mass it acts upon.

I evaluated the applications of energy and found contradictions everywhere due to the error. I eventually developed two mathematical proofs of the error, as shown on my website titled Energy Misdefined in Physics.
 
Scientist

Four decades ago, I studied yeast physiology at the University of Arizona later publishing my masters research on a yeast which adapted to growth on trees. I then studied for a year at the University of California at Davis. But mental pain caused by distracting environments drove me out.

I refer to myself as a scientist, even though I have a masters degree and not a Ph.D. degree, because I do what scientists are supposed to be doing, which includes some critical things which scientists seldom do but should, like exploratory research and opposing corruption in science with basic criticism; and I published my masters research in a science journal, cited below. I have as much education from three universities as any Ph.Ds.

The importance of calling myself a scientist is demonstrated by the global warming issue, where uninformed persons impose their global warming religion onto others as unquestionable science, because the IPCC said so.

In other words, authority is not enough. Throughout society including science, there tends to be a disconnect between authority and truth. Authorities are not allowed to produce the degree of criticism that society needs to solve its problems.

Values

I’m a pre-1980 type of liberal, which meant promotion of equal opportunity. What's good for the lower classes is good for everyone. Liberalism now means greed and selfishness promoted through fake causes such as environmentalism.
