Science uses the scientific method.
Left-wing dogma uses "consensus."
Author needs to be a bit more limited in his scope, and a bit more precise in his terms. Could be on to something, but the idea isn’t well-expressed here.
Modern science is also run by consensus....it’s called peer review.
Yhis is how they enforce consensus in science:
“Currently, most of these (scientist) doubters prefer not to be quoted, out of fear of losing research funding or of disapproval by peers.”
precisely
What if almost all of science is wrong? And what if 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2 this is - So stupid. Articles like this make believers look like morons. Conflating scientific truth with philosophical theosophical truth demonstrates such ignorance. The fact you are reading this post via the internet on a computing device demonstrates all the evidence necessary to the contrary.
From my observations, there is little true “science” and a lot of left-wing dogma these days. I had a liberal, who buys ‘climate change’ hook line & sinker, lecture me over an article on nutrition that he poo-poohed because it did not go through a “peer review”. I guess in this crazy world, if you’re a loony lib, then your peers are loony libs, too. Thus you get ‘consensus’ & ‘settled science’. He doesn’t like it when I point that out.
PEER: one that is of equal standing with another : equal; especially : one belonging to the same societal group especially based on age, grade, or status
Contemporary science has begun to be based upon “consensus”, or at least Left-wing dogma is damaging Science itself by overturning the scientific method.
Yup.
And in adition to consensus, liberals also use intimidation.
