Both of your "scientific" issues are fantastic examples of science having been politicized. Or at least trust in or acceptance of science.

- cercatrova 6y agoYeah I know they've been politicized but people not believing in science is not my problem. If they don't want to wear masks that is their problem. If I ran a company I wouldn't care that masks for example are politicized, I'd just mandate that all employees wear them.

- cercatrova 6y agoSure
- christophilus 6y agoMy guess is that even your below average computer scientist will have a reasonable respect for science. So, assuming that we’re talking about tech companies here, I think this is decent approach to policy.
- octoberfranklin 6y agoIs there a limit to the politicization of scientists past which we should cease to respect it? How about the Leninists who had armies of scientists and professors willing to tell us that communism was "scientific"? Does that deserve our respect? I respect apolitical scientists; I was one. My respect is theirs to lose.
