Imagine if instead of the current model of "getting data from companies", computational social science actually had data-generating research facilities, a la @CERN@twitter.com?

Deliberate or not, this is next-level agnotogenesis (creating uncertainty or doubt to stave off regulatory action).

The two decades since 9/11 have been a litany of American destruction by way of American self-destruction, with secret policies, secret laws, secret courts, and secret wars the US government has repeatedly denied, disclaimed, and distorted.

Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on how the greenhouse effect will change the global climate system.

“I think what is essential for this problem is a global consciousness. A view that transcends our exclusive identifications”

36 years later, did we listen to Carl?
