There’s nothing wrong with science, it’s some scientists you shouldn’t trust. Having a desired outcome so you can get more grant money isn’t science.

As for the soft sciences, I agree. There is no way to control all variables except one. Their conclusions are mere speculations. Correlation does not equal causation.

Well, EEGator, it’s just that, generally speaking, I have lost my ability to trust mankind’s honesty.

Instead what I have come to trust about mankind is that it lies constantly.

As I get older, I have sadly come to discover that almost everything mankind advances or is engaged in or speaks of is a lie.

Not only do I not trust his science, I am having a hard time thinking of anything that man does that I trust.

I’ve made many mistakes in my life. but I learned long ago that dishonesty is not a virtue, and it is a trap easily avoided simply by telling the truth, even when it hurts to do so.

All I see all around me now is dishonesty.
