Neil DeGrasse Tyson The Scientific Method

I. If we want demonstrate that something is a fact using the scientific methode we need someone else not just the creator. We need a person who would be some kind of 'Advocatus Diaboli' which means that this person would trying to give arguments against our theory(hypothesis)or an invention. When the creator defends his work with logical and scientific arguments against an unfavorable side, then we can consider it true or a fact just something compatible with science. This is how I understand the scientific method and prove the truth of inventions with
its help.
II. In my humble opinion, people have a natural tendency to believe in various types of conspiracy theories and supernatural things. I'm not a behaviorist, however, I think it may be because of instinct, because in the past, when science was not yet very developed people still had to explain the world around them and. In my opinion, this may also be due to the need to satisfy they rich imagination and the need for a sense of superiority over others demonstrated in the belief that 'other people are gullible and naive but we think independently and know the true truth'.

    Ad.1 - I'd just add that you need not one but many Devil's Advocates to test a hypothesis.
    Ad.2 - Why should believing in something without any evidence give you a sense of superiority?

Last Saturday, during a walk, I was approached by a man who was apparently looking for a way. He asked me if I knew where the horse stud was located. My automatic reply was "unfortunately no." A few seconds later, however, I came to the conclusion that i know where it was located, turned back and showed him the direction for which he thanked me. This situation made me wonder if the fact that I answered the first time without thinking was a symbol. People today have become more individualistic and have less contact with people in the real world. Perhaps my answer was simply due to the fact that I have never been to this stud and I know where it is only by accident, but this situation, (apart from the satisfaction of helping), also gave me lesson for future to watch out for antisocial reflexes, which may occur more frequent after lockdowns.

Last Saturday, I played a game in which I spent many long hours as a small child. I was hoping to travel back in time to those times when life was much simpler and more beautiful. Unfortunately, despite the emotions, the game turned out to be much worse than I remembered it. I guess that is just how human memory works, it writes down things from youth as cooler than they really were. Perhaps this game was never very good and I just remember it because it accompanied me in the happy moments of my life. Although I turned off this game after a short time and probably won't come back to it for a long time, I am glad I turned it on. Nostalgia is a very nice feeling and I hope that in some time I will remember my present experiences similarly.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE and its importance in the election process The election of the president of the United States is mediated by the Electoral College. It exists on the basis of the constitution and consists of 538 electors. Each state is free to select electors and their number equals the number of congressmen elected from a state. Under the 23rd Amendment, the District of Columbia received 3 electoral votes. Electoral College gives more importance to states that are less populated, so that candidates must gain wide support and not focus on the largest urban centers. However, there are many critics of this solution. They are concentrated mainly in the democratic party which has already been wronged by this system several times,. This happened in 2016 when Hilary Clinton received over 2% (2.87 million) more votes from Donald Trump and still lost the vote at Electoral College by 304-227 votes. In 2000, Democratic candidate Al Gore received over 0.5 million more votes than his competitor G...
