- superquest 9y agoScientists generally pursue truth whereas politicians spend most of their time pursuing power by building a constituency, trying to get and stay elected, raising money, etc. And I'm not saying "scientists are bad politicians". I'm saying what the two groups do don't overlap a ton. For a gross example, most scientists will have to learn to lie to be good politicians, because all good politicians play fast and loose with the truth.
