Ed's razor

A simple exercise that is fairly fool proof and is designed at discovering the truth/falsity of a given contention. An example: If there were truth to the contentions behind Homeopathy, then the world would be flooded with Homeopathic Heroin/Cocaine/Meth etc. The world is not so flooded ergo the contention is bullshit.
A significant stretch of the Amazon rainforest was cut down to build a new four-lane highway in preparation for the COP30 climate summit held in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025. This development drew widespread criticism for its perceived hypocrisy, as world leaders gathered to discuss solutions for climate change and deforestation. If climate change is an immediate, existential threat, those sorts of things would simply not happen. Ed's razor tells you the story. It is no different than Russia arranging tourist holidays at Chernobyl. Chernobyl is fucking dangerous and you don't go there. Climate change is fucking dangerous you don't fly private. Ed's razor allows you to stop worrying over nonsense.
