Indeed. They are not “hard science” scientists or even students of science and they do not have capacity for deductive logic but the worst thing is they all seem to have an external locus of control therefore they will follow the most bullying of idiots, or charismatic psychopath and all will be good.

Most of the rest of us are deductive thinkers and have strong internal loci of control. That makes a huge difference as data more closely rules our lives and minds.

I was a quintessential math-sci nerd; I garnered multiple awards in both.

I cannot tell you how much I have become unimpressed by - and indifferent to - so-called experts in the various scientific fields.

They are mostly leftists, and mostly activists. Objective reasoning is no longer in vogue.

Most officially-designated scientists today are merely technicians. Some of them are very good at specifically-defined tasks, but they do not have the mentality of a true scientist. They are selectively skeptical, and lack the enlightened intuition of a real scientist (e.g., August Kekule or Albert Einstein).

They focus on models instead of reality, and they choose their studies based upon political issues and subsidy likelihood, not upon genuinely scientific criteria.

I have a saying:

There are four kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, statistics, and scientific studies.

Well put. The Globull warmers are nothing but a cult.
