These theories are supported by recent research on the subject. He gave lectures for the [[Cancer Control Society]], and the group compiled a collection of articles on Ott's work in an edition of the ''Cancer Control Journal''.<ref>http://www.whale.to/b/ott_h.html</ref> Ott went to some lengths to avoid artificial light. According to his obituary:
{{quotebox|He adapted his own lifestyle, encasing his home in plastic windowpanes, illuminating its interiors with full-spectrum Ott-Lite lamps (he licensed their manufacture), and lining his TV cabinet with lead while positioning a mirror to reflect the set's image so it did not directly strike his eyes. He championed "healthy" lighting environments, railed against complacent television makers, and developed a light box to treat seasonal affective disorder, eventually retiring in 1995.<ref>[http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/obituary/Content?oid=902493 Obituary, John Nash Ott], Michael Yockel, Chicago Reader, June 08, 2000.</ref>}}

John Poindexter

[[File:Admiral John Poindexter, official Navy photo, 1985.JPEG|right|165px|thumb|Official photo, 1985]]{{uspolitics}}
'''John Poindexter''' {{Lived|1936}} was an American naval officer and the National Security Advisor of the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] administration.

Poindexter was one of the major players in the [[Iran-Contra]] affair, causing him to be convicted of multiple felonies. However, a 2-1 judicial decision overturned those convictions on a technicality. Incidentally, both judges who voted to overturn were Reagan appointees, while the dissenting judge was a Carter holdover.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/books/97/06/29/reviews/iran-poindexter.html ''Poindexter Wins Iran-Contra Case in Appeals Court''], [[New York Times]], November 16, 1991, by David Johnston</ref> Essentially, the judges held that witnesses had been influenced by Poindexter's testimony before Congress,{{efn|Note that Poindexter himself declared his congressional testimony to be true: "I stand by every word that I said and when I said the buck stopped with me with regard to the matters under discussion at the time, that was correct." <ref>''Poindexter Wins Iran-Contra Case in Appeals Court'', NYT, November 16, 1991</ref>}} and since Poindexter had been granted immunity for that testimony, he could not be prosecuted.

More recently, he served a brief stint as the director of the DARPA's [[Information Awareness Office]] under the [[George W. Bush]] administration.{{cn}}

'''John Shimkus''' {{lived|1958}} is a member of the [[Republican Party]] who served as [[Representative]] for [[Illinois]]' 20th, 19th, and 15th Congressional Districts from 1997 to 2021, twice having to run for another seat as his district was removed in census apportionments. He was a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce and was slated to become Chairman if the Republicans took over the House in 2010, as they did. He, instead, became Chairman of the Committee on Environment and the Economy. His

'''John Thomas Sladek''' {{lived|December 15, 1937|March 10, 2000}} was an [[United States|American]] [[science fiction]] [[author]], known for his [[satire|satirical]] and [[surrealism|surreal]] novels. He was also a prominent [[Materialism|materialist]] and [[Skepticism|skeptic]] who devoted time to debunking [[pseudoscience]], [[occult]] beliefs and [[conspiracy theory|conspiracy theories]]. 

His book ''The New Apocrypha'' (1974) is an excellent demolition of the pseudoscience being peddled at the time. It's probably on eBay and worth a punt.

John William Dunne

[[File:John William Dunne.jpg|thumb|right|165px|John William Dunne in 1910]]
{{Paranormal}}
'''John William Dunne''' {{lived|1875|1949}} was a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[engineer]] and [[author]]. He was best known for his ideas about the nature of [[time]].

==Hypothesis==
Dunne wrote that [[people]] could experience [[precognitive]] dreams and enter the future in a [[dream]] state. After experiencing a number of dreams Dunne proposed a new [[hypothesis]] that linear [[time]] was an illusion brought about by perception in [[consciousness]]. Dunne proposed that the past, present and future all in fact occur simultaneously. He is most well known for his book ''An Experiment with Time'' (1927). He also wrote that an infinite regress, or series of dimensions exist within time and that life is [[Immortality|immortal]] as it exists in each of these dimensions infinitely. He also wrote ''The Serial Universe'' (1934), ''The New Immortality'' (1938),'' Nothing Dies'' (1940).

Recent [[paranormal]] writer [[Anthony Peake]] has attempted to update the ideas of Dunne.

==Science==
Dunne was an engineer with some interesting ideas, but it was revealed he was a [[spiritualist]] and [[medium]]. Scientists have doubted some of his claims, especially those about [[precognition]] which could [[Falsifiability|never be proven]] with science.

[[Scientist]]s such as Paul Davies have written that there is no scientific [[evidence]] for more than one time and that Dunne's argument seems ''[[ad hoc]]''.<ref>Paul Davies (1996) ''About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution'' Simon & Schuster. ISBN 0684818221.</ref>

Jonathan Haidt

[[File:Jonathan Haidt 2012 03.jpg|upright|thumb|165px|Jonathan Haidt in 2012.]]{{psychology}}
'''Jonathan Haidt''' {{lived|1963|}} is a moderate professor of [[psychology]] at New York University's Stern School of Business.  He is the [[author]] of ''The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom'' and  ''The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion''.  

''The Happiness Hypothesis'' develops a metaphor of the subconscious and the conscious as an elephant and a rider, with the rider's job being to guide the elephant.<ref>''The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom''; (Basic Books, 2006; ISBN 978-0-465-02802-3.)</ref>  His other contribution concerns six categories of [[morality]] as a number of mental modules that establish scales of good versus evil, which he calls 'moral foundations theory'.  They are:

# '''Care vs. harm:''' cherishing and protecting others.
# '''Fairness vs. cheating:''' rendering justice according to shared rules. (Alternate name: Proportionality.)
# '''Liberty vs. oppression:''' the loathing of tyranny.
# '''Loyalty vs. betrayal:''' standing with your group, family, nation. (Alternate name: Ingroup.)
# '''Authority vs. subversion:''' obeying tradition and legitimate authority. (Alternate name: Respect.)
# '''Sanctity vs. degradation:''' abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions. (Alternate name:  Purity.)<ref>See generally Haidt's ''The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided By Politics and Religion''; (Pantheon, 2012; ISBN 978-0-307-37790-6.)</ref>

According to Haidt, logic has little to do with the negative reactions people have to "evil" actions, and it usually only comes into play after they've already reacted. Someone who's emotionally against cheating, for instance, may use logic to create arguments for why cheating is wrong, but if they're shown that none of their arguments apply or make sense, they still usually won't be convinced to change their minds.

From a variety of polls and studies, Haidt concludes that liberals mostly value care vs. harm, fairness vs. cheating, and liberty vs. oppression, while conservatives value all six scales. He argues in "The Righteous Mind" that liberal morality is incomplete based largely off of this, too often abusing the [[naturalistic fallacy|naturalistic fallacy]].

He is the recipient of a [[Templeton Foundation|Templeton prize]]. He is also involved in various discourse, and is a critic of [[New Atheism]].<ref>http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2012/05/17/the-unbearable-squishiness-of-jonathan-haidt/</ref>

Josef Issels

{{altmed}}
'''Josef Issels''' {{lived|1907|1998}} killed [[Rastafari#Bob Marley|Bob Marley]].

Okay, not really. [[Cancer]] killed Bob Marley. But Issels wasn't very helpful. Issels is responsible for developing "Issels Combination Therapy", which is an [[alternative medicine|alternative to standard cancer treatment procedures]]. The Issels plan is based largely on [[Food woo|diet]], [[laetrile]], [[chelation]], and the removal of [[Mercury amalgam fillings|fillings]] from the patient's teeth. The regimen has been panned by [[Quackwatch]]<ref>[http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html "A Special Message for Cancer Patients Seeking 'Alternative' Treatment" on Quackwatch]</ref> and Cancer Research UK.<ref>[http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/cancers-in-general/cancer-questions/issels-treatment Cancer Research UK: Issels Treatment]</ref>

When Marley was diagnosed with melanoma, he eschewed medical treatment and instead consulted Issels. He died less than a year later.

British Olympic gold medal winner Lillian Board was another one of Issels' stunning successes. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1970 with a life expectancy of about two months left (as cancer had already spread by this time). She spent the last month-and-a-half of her life having her tonsils and front teeth removed (as they supposedly helped spread the infection) and drinking only spring [[water]] and herbal tea. While her death wasn't preventable as Bob Marley's was, one could say that Board's [[quack]] with painful and unnecessary "treatments" slightly wasted his last month-and-a-half.

Joshiryoku

{{title-italics}}{{gender}}'''''Joshiryoku''''' (女子力, "woman power") is a word that appeared in [[Japan]] circa 2000. It became popular in the Japanese language in 2009, and is still in vogue.<ref>[https://www.asahi.com/opinion/forum/039/ 「女子力、高いね」。こんな言葉を耳にしたことはありませんか？ちまたで言われる「女子力」、あなた自身が考える「女子力」とは、どんな力なのでしょう。ご意見をお寄せください。] - ''Asahi Shimbun''.</ref>

Contrary to what the above direct translation may imply for English speakers, ''joshiryoku'' is not a "feminist" expression, but rather is used to describe a person's femininity or "womanliness." Those with high ''joshiryoku'' would typically be considered proficient in maintaining a polished, feminine appearance in areas like makeup, nails, hair, skincare, and clothing. The concept also extends to personality, with traits like likeability, sensitivity, fashionableness, and politeness considered signs of high ''joshiryoku,'' along with proficiency in other traditionally feminine skills like cooking.<ref>[https://oggi.jp/6729178 【100人聞いた】女子力が高い女性とは？ 特徴や素敵なレディになるために意識すべきコツ] - ''Oggi,'' June 2022.</ref>

==Cases==
===When ''joshiryoku'' is judged to be high===
* Women who wear feminine clothes
* Women who are good at cooking
* Women who use polite language
* Women who do not make their point too strongly

===When ''joshiryoku'' is judged to be low===
* Women who have too much sex appeal
* Women who use coarse language
* Women who do not wear makeup ([[Face masks|mask-wearing]] women are generally exempt)
* Women of high spirits

Jot

{{sources needed}}
{{title-italics}}
{{film|2}}
'''''Jot''''' was a 1960s and 1970s low-budget cartoon produced by the [[Southern Baptist Convention]] featuring really bad [[art]] apparently inspired by the trippy [[LSD|psychedelic]] stuff that was in vogue at the time, starring "Jot", the bouncing dot. Bouncing dots appear ''all the time'' in the Bible, don't they? It was shown on Saturday morning TV to teach kids [[Bible]] stories and why they should obey their parents and never lie, cheat or cuss.  You could write to Jot for finger puppets and prizes that would let you make your own "fun".

Seriously, the cartoon looks like it was designed in about 1966 by a psychologist totally steeped in existentialism and utterly convinced that the use of disturbing echoing-around-in-your-head kind of imagery could provide effective moral guidance.  In other words, the closest thing the Southern Baptists will ever come to being countercultural, which isn't saying much.

Hello kids, let's all learn a new word.  A-BOM-I-NA-TION.  Can you say Abomination?  Sure, I knew you could.  Abomination means...<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTN0VW86jyA</ref>

Jot still appears on the FamilyNet Television channel as a mascot.

Journal of 9/11 Studies

{{conspiracynav}}{{DISPLAYTITLE:''Journal of 9/11 Studies''}}
The '''''Journal of 9/11 Studies''''' is a 
[[peer review|peer-]]
 [[crank]]-reviewed, online, open source [[pseudojournal]] that gives [[9/11 conspiracy theories|9/11 Truthers]] a place to [[Just asking questions|just ask questions]]. Some high-profile Truthers like [[David Ray Griffin]] have written articles for the journal. Ironically, in their attempt to appear "credible" and "serious," they've run a number of articles debunking the egregiously unhinged theories like [[Judy Wood]]'s "space beams"<ref>[http://www.journalof911studies.com/letters/b/scientific-critique-of-judy-woods-paper-star-wars-beam-weapons-by-james-gourley.pdf Scientific Critique of Judy Wood's Star Wars Beam Weapons] by James Gourley</ref> and stuff they've run in their own journal, like the "elephant plane" theory.<ref>[http://www.journalof911studies.com/letters/elephant.pdf Flying Elephant or Routine Takeoff?] by Jim Hoffman</ref> The journal also spawned a counter-publication debunking it called the Journal of Debunking 9/11 Conspiracy Theories.<ref>http://www.jod911.com/</ref>

In 2011, they ran out of "peer-reviewers" and sent out a request for someone to review two papers defending the "[[reality|official]]" account of a plane hitting the Pentagon. The Screw Loose Change blog [[snark|remarked]]:
{{cquote|Great, so after 10 years of cutting edge research and truthseeking they finally figured out what the rest of us knew that Tuesday morning.

But now 9/11 conspiracy theories must be taken seriously, because, look, this research is "peer-reviewed!"
