Science is too often centered around politics.
Good title.
Makes the right sound like a bunch of morons.
There is nothing wrong with actual science. BUT today there is a lot of radical ideology that is presented in the words and forms of science.
Feynman called it “cargo cult science”.
The natives had constructed control towers, runways, bamboo airplane models. The guys in the tower had headphones made from coconut shells. Everything “looked” right, but it was nothing but an ignorant activity. He said much of science today follows that model.
I like the theory of all possible outcomes.
It means somewhere I’m a success who’s still in shape, married to a great babe (Italian), have 6 wonderful kids and am CEO of a major corporation :)
Instead of some fat middle aged guy that types a lot on FR lol
I wonder if the successful me reads free republic
In rare agreement with the author, then I noticed it was Greenfield...
Another thought, the three most murderous ideas to hit human history in the last 100 years were nazism, communism, and our eugenics movement. All three had “science” as the absolute centerpiece of their propaganda.
All three were adamant that they were “only following the science” and revealing a scientific truth.
And now we almost daily hear democrats saying the same thing. It is the shield of a tyrant.
The author obviously doesn’t know what science is. Never did the idiot state it.
Science.....Wackos & Nutcases......Pragmatic American Citizens....Heroes and Champions of Freedom and Liberty!!! CASE CLOSED!!!
Ping for virtue and certainty, not offered by science.
It is a religion to liberals.
This is hilarious. LOL!
I disagree with the “certainty” part.
The point of science was to discern the temporal universe. That’s a term you don’t hear anymore because it referred to the universe as God created it. Using science we could be certain about things in the physical world - that maggots don’t spontaneously generate on rotted meat, that it’s possible for man to fly, that we can split the atom and use that for clean and efficient power as well as bombs - which is where we point out what science is NOT.
Science is not philosophy nor is it something you can base your life on.
leftists will throw out terms like “we have the science to show that guns are bad” or “Science shows us there are 37 genders” when neither of these stand up to scrutiny or reproducible results - the very foundation for real science.
You can use math to “prove” that Universal Basic Income works - the problem is the basics of that proof are based on faulty assumptions (but don’t argue that!)
Science, at its best, is pure rationale and reason and the study of the OBJECTIVE world. The problem isn’t science itself - the problem is the leftists who have abandoned logic and reason for pure ideology (along with their “science”). You only need to look at what our “top men” said about Biden making a racist comment about “You aint black”. Did they agree it was racist? No. In fact they defended the statement as TRUE.
THAT basic fallacy of lies and misrepresentation permeates everything today. How can you even have science when white is black and black is white and leftists get run over at the next zebra crossing.
Most of the advancements of the last 500 years are due to science and capitalism, inventions, exploration, expanding human knowledge, etc.
I have learned through this BS debacle that I hate science as much as I hate government and a good portion of society. At one time,all were honorable in America with very few exceptions and if a segment of society strayed,it would be corrected. America right now is a run away train.
Leftist “Religion” of Science - bump for later...….
“Our current knowledge of the way that things are tells us that while the universe may have absolute realities, our understanding of them will never be so.”
Yet you claim absolute understanding of the truth of your statement.
Author: “quantum”
Me: “You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Trust science, not scientists.
Pneuma sound
Amen
Things like Climate Change and even Covid19 have become fabricated voodoo fetishes endowed with all kinds of opinions by witch doctors exploiting the American and world tribe.
It is disgusting. Atheism is a full blown religious cult.
