The liars and evidence.

These two quotes resonate with me, because I spent a hour and half yesterday dealing with people who were trying to write a guideline that plays attention to clinical trials — in medical jargon "the evidence" and what we do in real life. Which is not always what the papers say. Because we all mistrust some of the papers: we know who funded them, and their agenda is one of marketing. 

This inherent corruption, however, has some benefits. Big Pharma has to replicate its studies because the FDA and EU want different designs. This makes an instant evidence base for meta analysis — if you can get at the data. And we are getting better at that.

So when I say "there is no evidence" I mean "I cannot find a randomized controlled trial to support that statement". If I don't know, I will look. 

But in political policy, evidence has other meanings. Such as "fact" or "data I can use rhetorically"

And that data is reliably wrong. 

Don't say there is 'no evidence', or some such evasion – because these people fake the evidence: that's what they do – they do it all the time! If they need evidence, they will invent it. 

Evidence, from These People, means nothing.

Haven't you been paying attention? They select, distort and misinterpret – they make things up from nothing – they 'quote' what nobody ever said – massive realities disappear, insignificant nothings become national obsessions…

They employ fake experts and pseudo-experts; they fund fake demonstrators to have fake riots; they fake patients, fake victims.

They bribe and/ or intimidate officials all the time!  

They lose information, edit recordings, fake documents, fake statistics, fake graphs, fake photographs…   


When it comes to SJWs there is no such thing as 'evidence' – you simply can't believe them. You should not believe them.

Because they are liars; and liars ought not be believed, or truth is lost.

It's customary to remain silent and expect your silence to somehow convey a lack of agreement. But silence is what they are counting on! What discombobulates them is being forced to defend themselves, because SJWs have no ability to do so. Which, of course, is why they will usually resort to an attack, and everyone knows it, which is why most people remain silent.

But that is a mistake. All it does is convince them that you are a pushover and are incapable of resistance. Worse, they will use your silence to convince others that you agree with them when you are not around.

If you call out these people, they will fight. But that will happen anyway: if you do not call them on such they will make up a narrative to defend themselves regardless of their actions. 

And they will be offended regardless of your actions. Better to say that they lie. For they generally do not have properly done controlled trials to back up their statements.

For it is much easier to do a quick survey of your keyboard, and lie.
