One of the first times I mentioned it on HN, the reaction was basically, "Thank you for showing me this right-wing talking point, now I can counteract it." No curiosity about the history. No valuing of knowledge and truth.
This says a lot about our world today.
- pmarreck 8y agoHow is it a right-wing talking point? It's basically pro-science (and to be fair, the right has their anti-global-warmacists and the left has their antivax and antinuclear baseless beliefs)
- stcredzero 8y agoHow is it a right-wing talking point? Because that's how wacko some of the Far Left have become. Because some of the Far Left would like for there to be something like Lysenkoism forwarding a version of science which explicitly fits their narratives, and for this to be taught to young people. (If you look into it, they basically have a "good start.")
- fixermark 8y agoCan you clarify what model some on the Far Left are forwarding that fits their narrative and how it relates to Lysenkoism?
