Travis’ Quora Page

[R J]

Travis passed away , which I didn’t know until just now. His knowledge shared here is impressive . Here is his quora page : Travis Schwochert - Quora

I searched his name and it appears Travis triggered a lot of pro mainstream science people to the extent they had doxxed him. I’m disappointed I never got to talk to the guy because I admire him for pissing off normies so much. I didn’t really get the full story because the comments sections of these blogs are so hard to navigate but it appears he really rattled the typical pro mainstream science people.

I can't believe this. Why did Travis pass away? Was he ill?

Go check out the Travis Corner thread. No one is quite sure what happened; a lot of speculation...

Pure gold. Thank you much for linking to this page.

Below are just a small subset of gems. Appended is a screenshot of the entire page. (I am paranoiac now about leaving valuable finds on the web without having them in my possession.)

• Did Richard Feynman smoke? [ July 31, 2017]

Yes. All extremely smart people smoke. Nicotine and caffeine are preconditions for genius.

• What is the best way to read scientific papers? [June 8, 2017]

I generally skip the abstract if I know that I’m going to read the entire article anyway. The abstract often suffers from over-compression of language, and is often very dense and non-conversational. This is the effect of trying to fit too much information in one paragraph, and to show-off.

Introductions can be read quickly with a bit of skimming if you are familiar with the topic. Introductions often provide no new information and I would consider them optional.


Interesting is the Materials and Methods section. This is important. You want to know what the author actually did.


Results are usually the most novel part of the article and the most important. This is where the raw data is. This is your window into the physical nature of reality.


The conclusions section is usually worth reading, but highly-politicized topics can make the author ‘conclude’ things in opposition to the actual data. It is common to mitigate the toxicological effects of certain things, as scientists may not want to ‘rock the boat’. Scientists who sound alarms and trumpet horns can become pariahs and lose further grants.


The conclusion of the author may not be the most fair conclusion to draw from the data.


The references section is one of my favorites. Here you can usually find even more interesting and relevant studies to read!

I smiled at the nicotine and coffee post! He was either being slightly funny or totally serious, not sure which is more endearing!

What should I study when I'm interested in Chemistry and Quantum physics?
You should study quantum biochemistry and help elucidate the charge transfer system inside of cells and other π-π interactions. Read Albert Szent-Gyorgyi’s books on bioelectronics and the Pullman’s text Quantum Biochemistry!

If vaccines antigens were cultured in protein-free media (free amino acids, sugar) and aluminum phosphate and aluminum oxide hydroxide was replaced with calcium phosphate, then I would no longer have much to say about it.

Timely

No, I'm not holding any information back. @ecstatichamster contacted the family, have you got a response?

Schwochert, Travis J.

Very, very sad. He was a compassionate intellectual. I used to pick his brain in PMs, and he would write essentially 4000 words at a time, digging deep into cited material, on topics with no known consensus or conclusion. Eventually I just sent him some money for how grateful I was of his time and energy. May he RIP.

About 10 years ago, somebody got engaged in a heated discussion with the trolls over at Longecity. I suspect that somebody was Travis or his karmic brother That thread used to be public but has not been hidden behind a login page. I strongly recommend reading it, the language of the posted sounds a lot like Travis...

Link wasn't working for me even after I logged in. Wayback has it archived. Picture and location of the OP suggests it's not Travis but I'm still reading through.

Really thorough critical responses, characteristic of scientific thinkers:

what a joke.

Shut up about smoking please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of my great grandparents, and all but one of my grandparents have died from lung cancer from smoking.

SMOKING KILLS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

It's obvious.

I have other reason to believe this is what happened. Travis sent me a note on the day he died.

I don't think I need to spell it out. And I can't know for sure. The evidence suggests...

I think what killed Travis was the terrible horrific lockdowns in the USA and the world that affected his mental health. He was a wonderful person who didn't deserve to be affected that way.

I myself feel angry and depressed these days. It's hard not to.

Everybody supporting lockdowns will realize only too late, the damage that was done to society.

As humans what makes our lives worth living is the interaction we have with other people.

RIP to this brillant man.

We were in touch. He emailed me on 4 July 2020. I have never heard from his family in response to my reaching out to them.

That's crazy. It was a normal message or had something odd? I'm wondering how 'sudden' it was.
