Liberals touched science.
The results are identical whatever they touch.
Faulty logic, inadequate thinking, shoddy research, and just plain corruption.
That’s why they’re libs, folks. They CANNOT do anything properly.
I fixed the following 3 sentences, and now it explains clearly the elite liberal approach to educating the dumb masses. How arrogant (and cynical) can they get?
Assemble two groups of spokespeople, one made up of our “experts” and the other of celebrity ambassadors. Then deploy them to reach the public wherever they are, from online social networks to “The Today Show.” Researchers need to tell personal stories, tug at the heartstrings of people who don’t have PhD’s. And the celebrities can go on “Oprah” to describe how [favorite liberal issue here] is affecting them—and by extension, Oprah’s legions of viewers.
BTTT!
If people want their school system to "teach the controversy" then that should not be seen as an unreasonable request -- you can learn a lot about "how science is done" by showing areas of disagrement and inquiry.
But the pro-science people have a nasty tendency to shout down their opposition and I think this hurts science very much.
The Russian scientists who did not believe in the new collectivist Soviet science, particularly, Marxist genetics, or who opposed domination by the totalitarian regime, or opposed the teachings of the "new science" were purged, either expelled from their teaching posts and research positions, consigned to the depths of the gulags or unceremoniously killed in labor camps, exterminated as "enemies of the people" and the Soviet Motherland.
They lost me when “consensus” became an accepted means of proving a hypothesis.
He nailed it....
Bush says researchers need a campaign that inundates the public with the message of science: Assemble two groups of spokespeople, one made up of scientists and the other of celebrity ambassadors. Then deploy them to reach the public wherever they are, from online social networks to “The Today Show.” Researchers need to tell personal stories, tug at the heartstrings of people who don’t have PhD’s.”
Sounds like the same means employed to legitimize eugenics early in the 20th century.
As did Polanyi before him.:
"....[These] problems with the left hijacking science were recognized by ... Michael Polanyi, as early as the mid-1940s. ...." HERE
Science has become political: the rigors of scientific
research are no longer practiced. Scientists begin research
with a predetermined agenda and select elements of findings
that suit their agenda.
The author isn’t talking about science.
The author is talking about politicians pretending that scientists agree with them.
For example, real scientists agreed back in the 1990’s that global warming was an unproven hypothesis and 18,000 of them signed a statement saying so.
algore’s consensus has always been a lie.
Excellent article. I’ve e-mailed this to a number of my friends who are always telling me I’m nuts for discounting science with my religious beliefs. After all, according to them, the science is proven.
To that I say HA.
Much of the problem is the yuppifaction of science. Way too many people espouse ideas and theories based on career issues rather than evidence.
Very interesting.
