The ‘Follow the Science’ Crowd Seldom Does

Sometimes you just have to look at a thing to know it’s nuts. Other times, you have to extrapolate a thing out to its inevitable end to know it’s nuts, but then there it is: it’s nuts.

Lefties have trouble extrapolating. They clearly have trouble with what is real and obvious (i.e., X/X = Female, X/Y = Male), but the things you need only think through just a little bit elude them, too. Have you noticed? They simply don’t extrapolate. Even a little.

They’re often so anti-science, so counter-factual, so self-destructive that it goes beyond simply not following “the science.” They’re not following friggin’ gravity. The simple rules of being. Just being. Being human. On earth. Where there are actions and consequences. They. Just. Don’t. Think. That. Way.

So let’s do it for them. Let’s look at a few things they really haven’t thought through.

X/Y Men & X/X Women & “Gender-affirming care”

How is it “gender-affirming” to cut body parts off? The left is known for calling things Orwellian names, but I think “gender-affirming care” for the willful mutilation of one’s body must be the most Orwellian. They try to get around this by saying “gender” is different from “sex,” but then why chop off body parts if the whole thing is just a “construct”? Can’t you just “construct” your “gender-identity” without a scalpel? Since when does personal affirmation of anything depend on somebody else graduating from medical school?

There’s nothing—nothing—in the great American experiment of Liberty that requires someone else’s labor in order to “affirm” you. That’s the whole point. So this is communistic thinking, in my opinion. If you can’t achieve personal affirmation without somebody taking a scalpel to you, then how healthy is it? I think that question answers itself.

The whole thing is communistic, anti-science gobbledygook.

.04% . That is the amount of CO2 in the atomsphere. Because of that tiny amount we are suppose to reinvent Civilization itself. No thanks.

Man is responsible for 3.4% of that 0.04%

The total amount of anthropogenic CO2 In the atmosphere is therefore 0.0014%

Completely eliminate man's contribution and the Earth's atmosphere still contains 0.04% CO2.

Belief - the Left worships at the altars of their ever changing "beliefs." Anyone who disagrees is committing blasphemy.

One of my best, real science professors was a great example of real science. Every week, she would say:

This (XYZ) we know

This (XYZ) we think we know.

All this other stuff, we have no idea.

Should be “follow the emotion”, or “follow the groupthink”.

I have determined that the “follow the science” crowd usually doesn’t know any science or understand technology.
