So the scientists keep saying but is it true? What engineer used the “science” of locking beagles in cages to have flies eat off their face? What bridge did that study help build? Or what about the study about why fat chicks can’t laid. How did that help engineers build the power grid? What about the studies where “muh scientists” feed cocaine to different animals to see how they react? I’m sure that one was super helpful when engineers were designing the iPhone.
Face it dude, we’ve been duped by academic assholes in white lab coats. It was engineers the whole time building this shit and wormy little scientists swooping in to take all the credit.
This not entirely true. The core of a mechanical engineer's blueprint is the material; the material makeup is completely scientific.
Who conducts all of the additives for automotive?
Who tests the additives and oils for effectiveness?
Who tests our water?
Who laid out the standards for our drinking water?
Let's not squash it entirely.
The scientific method is still valid, but as an annointed group of social authorities, “scientist” is a magic spell word without meaning. Like I say, when do you ever see an engineer on FAKE NEWS talking a bunch of bullshit and promoting hysteria? But there have been thousands of “scientists” who do that. When do you ever hear, “Trust the Engineering”? But you hear, “Trust the Science” all the time. What Science? And by who? That doesn’t matter. Just trust “the Science”.
To me, “engineer” is to “scientist” like “reporter” is to “journalist”. We know what an “engineer” does - he invents and builds - but what does a “scientist” do? Just vague, abstract science things. And we know what a “reporter” does - he researches and reports current events - but what does a “journalist” do? He... journals? Think about how that word “journalist” gave reporters permission to become activist opinion bloggers. In their eyes, that’s what a “journalist” should do. “Journal” their personal feelings about current events.
I'm not entirely disagreeing with you; what you wrote here is valid. I agree our educational studies and practices are tainted with malevolence and communist tactics. I just think it was too much of a blanket statement you made and that some science still has its' place.
