It is sad to see someone with what once must have been a fine brain lose it at the end of their career to dementia. And it's clearly dementia, btw, escalation to something like 'trillions' when the full US science budget is ~50Billion per year, with very little of that carved out for global warming research. The facts would have been easy for someone of his at-his-prime skill to assess.
It's the evidence half of peer reviewed evidence that makes it worthwhile. This isn't about opinions or theories, it's about numbers. The numbers may yet prove wrong, but at least the numbers have made it through peer review.
But your opinion (can't publish contradicting data) is contradicted by the facts. Contrary data, what little of it there is, is published regularly. It's the one in a thousand case that deniers pounce on and then trumpet as controversy.
Since Facebook is the beneficiary of the clicks (they get paid on the click throughs unless they are stupid), I would have to suspect Facebook of being in the driver's seat on this (e.g. running the bots themselves to drive up revenue).
I think you can have a page, the key is not to use it. I mean, how much 'mass' are you going to achieve if your updates look like:
Just stopped at the Hillsdale Mall. Picked up a Wetzel's Pretzel Dog. Tasty! Killed this guy and his kids in the Nordstrom's bathroom. Checked out Victoria's secret. Do we really want our children to see the models they display in the window?
It'll be hard to keep that up long enough to rack up a really good score without getting caught.
It's not an anecdote. Facebook is not required for high-end employment either. The market is fiercely competitive for above-average workers, no one would turn one down for not having a facebook account.
Linkedin doesn't need to. They have a perfectly valid monetary model selling ads on employment searches, a market which they have successfully locked down. They won't ever make facebook money, but they don't need to in order to maintain a thriving business.
I use LinkedIn but not the trust or social aspect. It has become the defacto job search site now that monster is gone. It's where I get my interview offers, and where I go to offer them. It's a great resume search tool.
I'm pretty sure that the kinds of things that go wrong with your brain that make you shoot a bunch of people tend to render you unqualified to discriminate the right people to shoot.
Does anyone really use so many applications they can't remember the names of all of them? I mean, how could you even have enough time in the day for that to be possible?

It's how scammers run programs on your computer through your web browser. You turn it off to stop them.

I'm pretty sure the fox news watchers have reached maximum stupidity already. I think this is more of a get stupid people to vote thing.
Nope. Applies to both sides. Guess which side has huge amounts of peer reviewed evidence.
I doubt it occurred to him because it's unrealistic as an explanation for a click flood. Online advertising just isn't that effective.

So there's a contingent of noscript users who click on ads now?
Sorry, no. What percentage of real users do you imagine even knows there's an option to turn off javascript?

Yeah, slashdot bends over and takes it for the church of scientology. But they stand up for principles on porn.
HP is responsible for a handful of deaths too. But nothing like JC.

They could at least let you edit until you have a reply. That way you couldn't muck with a thread to make it look different than it happened.
No, you have a facebook account, ergo you are not a mass murderer. Go delete your profile and I'll start to worry.

I can assure you, facebook is not required for high-end employment either. Maybe it is true somewhere in the great middle.
JC is responsible for far more murders than the other two combined.
I've noticed that too. I wish I knew where they went so I could invest in the next bubble now.

It would have been funnier with an i instead of an o.

It probably runs in social circles. Most of the people I know don't facebook. Definitely less than half.
