In science, we attempt to uncover the true nature of reality and understand how the various fundamental parts of any physical system interact to lead to the behavior of an entire, composite system.

In 2025, perhaps more than ever, it’s important to go back to these basics and reject any and all non-factual, non-truthful statements: from lies to fraud to bullshit. Everything depends on it.
