Don’t these folks know. The science data can be used to tell any story you want.
Why is this so hard to understand!!??
But trust the CDC and FDA!
I am a man of both faith and science. You need to be in balance with both.
The trust the science people are crazy! I just don’t know why they can’t see.
It’s up to the scientists to decide which variables are to be included in any experiment.
4 different scientists could all decide to include another variable that the others didn’t.
Therefore they all get different results. They could peer review each other’s work.
But who decides what are the most important variables to test.
Science is really scientific method for observation and theorizing those observations.
Deciding which theories are correct and which are not - they call it "Scientific Consensus" but in reality thats just gobblygook. It doesnt mean anything. But it makes the current science subjective and not objective, and makes it a religion.
In the old days, scientific understanding was constantly changing, and emphasis was about discovering new things, not creating a set of beliefs.
I couldn’t agree more.
It’s totally subjective now.
Probably the most important thing a scientist could do is: "I thought X was true. I did an experiment. I found out X wasn't true. Too bad, since the guy giving me the grant really wants X to be true."
That would take guts and courage.
Its a weird thing most people born in the last 30 years seem to thing, they speak and act as if we live in a post-science world where we have definitively moved past all paradigm shifts and we now have a complete vision of reality that can be refined but not changed or expanded
It seems the old incentive "Publish or perish" has been injected with steroids.. documents laced with 'science speak' to impress the proles. Peer reviews filled with jealous contempt. Think Atlas Shrugged State Science Institute.
I work with data often. It’s not difficult at all to fudge numbers, cherry pick metrics, paint a biased or even outright false narrative etc
Agreed.. I am a software engineer. When creating reports. It’s easy to fudge the data for sure!
Yeah. Most people say "I've done the research" while they lack even the most basic background in scientific reading and statistics requires to validate and interpret a study. Studying a single paper easily takes 2 hours out of your day and that if its a short one.
For sure!
