Others are beginning to note what we’ve known for weeks: the Left is violating the tenets of its own religion with respect to the election results.
The Left worships but one god: “science.” Of course it’s their science, defined by their truthiness, but never mind, you can believe it too - and you will be a better person for it!
In the 21st century the science of the Left has been circumscribed by the disciplines of statistics and epidemiology. With these 2 easily manipulated research tools of science the Elitists of the Left have grabbed hold of the reins of the world in order to steer us in the correct direction as they see fit.
With Big Education and Big Media key members of the elite these days we are forced to accept as “fact” their immutable statistical evidence which leads to the following conclusions:
1. Anthropogenic Global Warming – which morphed seamlessly to “Climate Change” when their own data stopped supporting their warming hypothesis - is the greatest danger to humanity since well, forever.
2. Minorities are systemically discriminated against everywhere but especially in the United States and especially when it comes to the criminal justice system.
3. Whatever stupid nutritional theory they are currently promoting. Plant based foods is a current favorite because…cow farts, or something.
4. COVID-19, the Chinese Murder Virus, is the greatest pandemic ever visited on mankind and can only be controlled by social isolation, face masks and economic shutdowns.
And you have no right to dispute their scientific, statistically demonstrated, epidemiological FACTS. Especially if you’ve done your own research and disagree with the Left’s sanctioned orthodoxy.
But now, all of a sudden, it seems that the Left has no use for statistics: their own most sacred tool of truthiness.
When it comes to producing evidence of election fraud, it seems that statistical analysis produces nothing but “meaningless” “baseless” and “groundless” accusations. Now it seems they don’t even consider statistics reliable enough to take a pause in the action to have a further look. Odd, isn’t it?
As the American media continues to claim that no evidence for widespread voter fraud exists, many independent forensic data analysts who have analyzed data scrapes (sic) from Edison Research found quite the opposite.
Goodness, it’s as if they no longer trust their own most sacred tool. Perhaps they never did.

"so why should we let someone teach social science that we know to be wrong in our social science courses?"
Because it is possible that you are wrong.
Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong. And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.
Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.
Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.
And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism took it over, with the direct help of people like you.
Most scientific breakthroughs were impossible until the old scientists died.
Likewise, the universities are clearly the enemy of human potential and actual progress.
Their job is to congratulate themselves on their brilliance and attack the “ignorant deplorables”.
They are definitely a big part of the problem, and not a part of the solution.
I dont normally read these, Im glad I did. Good start.
Btw, data scrapes are a thing. You might want to go back over that tobacco thing, “than to convince someone they have been fooled.” Smoking didnt cause the increase in cancer, Marlboro did and knew they were doing it while the niconazis legalized and encouraged future deaths with the help of government. The data is out there for anyone interested in getting all sciencey.
I’d like to see the results of a scientific test comparing the DNA of a pregnant woman to the DNA of her preborn child. The left would claim that DNA doesn’t work in that case.
No, that is just another head fake.
The Left worships but one god: Power over others.
More detail please on the tobacco issue—are you saying that Marlboro cigarettes were different than other cigarettes?
Correct. “Science” is the weapon.
Yes.
Marlboro realized that American goods were a status symbol around the world and decided to take over as the worlds preferred brand.
What they did is they would target a country and find out what the preferred brand was in that country. They then would mimic that brands recipe until enough of the locals moved to purchasing Marlboro that they could switch back to their original recipe yet still control a sizable part of that market.
As Marlboro travelled from country to country the lung cancer rates in those countries went up.
The main difference between Marlboro at the time and other brands was that Marlboro had developed a process of flue drying to accelerate the cure time for tobacco. The process concentrates nitrosamines to at least 21x the natural levels.
Theres a lot more to that discussion but thats the gist of it.
Thanks—great response.
I learn something new every day around here.
