>> populist nationalism is causing all kinds of problems > That is not a factual statement, it is a subjective political opinion. I concede to this point. You are right: this perspective is completely subjective, when I was trying to make the objective point that science/progress doesn't care about nationality, etc. My argument's motivation was to highlight that the popular [British?] press not only dismisses this, but seemingly goes out of their way to push things in the other direction. Whether that's bad or not is very much ones opinion, but it is nonetheless objectively irrelevant modulo the scientific result and arguably "bad" in the sense that it is biased. It begs the question as to what is their (or their master's) end? I didn't put it well. Thank you for pointing it out.
