This week we’ve had some feedback regarding AI – always glad to hear from our listeners! In TWISH we hear about Charles Clermont-Ganneau, famous French archeologist with a flare for spotting fake artifacts. Then we turn to the news:
- INTERNATIONAL: Fossil forgery – famous specimen shown to be fake, and it is not alone
- FRANCE: Experts identify Moscow-based disinformation network
- GREECE: Legalization of same sex marriage
Good news for once! The French National Assembly has adopted a new law aimed at charlatans, and sects or sect leaders who tries to influence their followers to reject science based medicine. We think that is worth a Really Right Award!
Enjoy!

“
The language of experience is more authoritative than all kinds of reasoning: facts can destroy our reasoning, not vice versa.”
