Bullshit and Agnotology

So what if humans could eliminate all the bullshit listed below and spend the money, time and resources on the things that really mattered? Like eliminating disease and science.

If science doesn’t support it there is a 99% chance that it is bullshit. But I will agree there is about 1 chance out of 100 there may be something to it other than psychosomatic effect.

If you spend $100 million on food and shelter for the poor you benefit 1 million people by about $80 each (20% on administration) for a few days or months. If you spend $100 million on a cure for a disease you may benefit billions of people for many years. Here’s an example: www.alleninstitute.org/
