"It is not the credulous or those prone to magical thinking who are the primary opponents of science, but rather those who insist on disseminating false realities under the guise of its virtue."
It seems to me that science is being used as a weapon, it has been infiltrated by corporations who have the money to manipulate it to their own ends. What has happened over the past 4 years I find horrific in that a special version of "science" has been used to subjugate the populations. No questions to be asked, no discussion, no dissent we are told, we must only follow their "science".
You have described exactly the procedure that recently drove perceptions that masks can protect against respiratory infections and that hydroxychloroquine can’t effectively treat Covid-19 symptoms, to cite two examples of “follow the lie-ence” -- thank you.
a friend scientist told me years ago that she studied bio-chemistry because the science is settled. I told her from all we learned in school, probably 90 percent was no longer there. That caused a silence. And then I asked how come there were still so many scientists. If the science is settled scientists are unnecessary costs.
Brilliant
Ethical Skeptic is a boss
I wonder how Thomas Kuhn would feel about the state of science today....
Every single time I hear the phrase “peer reviewed” I cringe. It means NOTHING to me. One word in the breakdown that stood-out to me was “interns”.
Magic 8-Ball says, “It is decidedly so.” (Also says, “Outlook not so good.”)
Powerful.
What a great synopsis of how "Science" has been operating for the last 50 years at least.
Hopefully change is a coming.

Love the quote!
Is that from J.P.Moreland ?
I love your graphic and will use it in my memes!
Brilliant!
Thank you.

Beautiful. Couldn’t be more timely. We needed this. Thank you.
