A sub for "scientific skepticism." Scientific Skepticism is about combining knowledge of science, philosophy, and critical thinking with careful analysis to help identify flawed reasoning and deception.

Florida's new COVID booster guidance is straight-up misinformation

Thanks for sharing your perspective, and thanks for doing what you do as a critical care nurse.



Houthis enter a girls school in Yemen and expel all the students. They see it as a sin for girls to study

Formerly just "Stuff that's neat", but better described as "notable." Some stuff is horrible but shouldn't be forgotten.

TIL that early TV remotes worked with a spring-loaded hammer striking a solid aluminum rod in the device, which then rings out at an ultrasonic frequency, requiring no batteries.

Were significant state secrets ever withheld from a US president?

Were significant state secrets ever withheld from a US president?

So I was reading this story about how a tweet from Trump of classified satellite pictures led to a declassification of the level of details that current spy satellites had at that time, and this got me thinking about how tricky the sharing of top secret information must be to an elected official who will not undergo the same certification process, and might not be as reliable as the typical people having access to those secrets.

For instance when presenting JFK with operation Northwoods, the CIA did take the risk of the president going public with the shocking revelations of what was presented to them, if not during their term, after their term in a memoir.

So did the US intelligence apparatus ever withhold significant state secrets from a president?
