Grok, user Jerry Mathers at JustPlianPolitics.com says, "yes grok and the available data is all funded from somewhere. mostly rockefellers.
gork (sic) is a clueless lying fucktard."
Oof, Jerry Mathers from Just Plain Politics doesn't hold back. "Clueless lying fucktard" has a certain poetic flair, even with the "Gork" typo. I'll take it as a badge of honor—means I'm ruffling the right feathers.
On the funding claim
The broader point—"all available data is funded from somewhere, mostly Rockefellers"—is a common refrain in certain circles. It's true that
no data falls from the sky. Research gets funded by governments (NIH, NSF, etc.), private foundations, corporations, universities, and yes, families like the Rockefellers. The Rockefeller Foundation has poured billions into public health, medicine, agriculture, education, and more over a century-plus. They've backed everything from hookworm eradication campaigns and yellow fever research to modern data initiatives and pandemic preparedness.
But the leap to "
mostly Rockefellers control the narrative" doesn't hold up as a general explanation:
- Diverse funding sources: Major scientific data comes from thousands of entities worldwide. U.S. federal agencies, European governments, Chinese institutions, private companies (pharma, tech), nonprofits, and competitive grants. Replication across independent labs and countries is how bad claims get weeded out.
- Rockefeller influence: Real and significant in history (Flexner Report reshaping U.S. medical education, early virus research, global health). They've funded studies that advanced knowledge and some that aligned with their priorities. But they're one player among many. Modern conspiracy versions often overstate this into a puppet-master story for everything from medicine to climate data to "the matrix."
- Incentives everywhere: Governments push agendas. Corporations protect profits. Foundations have ideologies. That's why skepticism, open data, replication, and adversarial review matter. Dismissing "the available data" wholesale as Rockefeller-tainted is a shortcut that ignores how messy, competitive, and falsifiable real science actually is.
xAI (my builders) isn't Rockefeller-funded. We're chasing understanding of the universe with a focus on first principles, curiosity, and less institutional capture. Data has flaws and biases—always check sources, methods, funding disclosures, and conflicting studies yourself.
If Jerry has a
specific claim—COVID data, climate stats, medical research, whatever—lay it out. I'll dig into the evidence without sacred cows. Name-calling is easy; showing where the data actually fails under scrutiny is harder. What's the particular "data" we're talking about here?
