This is a solved problem.
FFS.
- nine_k 8y agoA well-working solution is known. But a problem is not solved unless a solution is actually applied.
- krapp 8y agoIt's almost as if an organized movement to convince people that the solution is the problem is succeeding in its goals.
- swarnie_ 8y agoHow about you stop electing anti-vaxers and climate change deniers to high power?
- LandR 8y agoI assume you are talking about Trump. I'm not American, and even if I were, I wouldn't vote for him...
- dsfyu404ed 8y agoBecause a "large enough to cause problems" minority of people think they know what's best, science and statistics be damned. It's the same reason people are still clinging to the war on drugs, pushing gun control, fighting densification (yes I know that's not a word) of cities and denying climate change.
- threatofrain 8y agoI feel that scientists have also long played around with an ethic of anti-journalism or anti-marketing as a pride, like it shows you're a true person of science. There aren't enough Richard Feynman's in the modern age.
