Your anti-science vibe is terrifying.
Be very careful about how you word stuff like this, even if at the end of the day it's just healthy skepticism. It's the same vibe that gives power to conspiracy theories.
- rhesa 6y agoTheir comment didn't sound anti-science to me at all. They're critical of academia and how that functions. SMBC had a comic on this recently that illustrates the difference, the issues, and possible improvements: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/science-fictions https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/science-fictions
- MrPatan 6y agoI'm very pro science. But science is very hard to do properly, and even when done it's very hard to find it. Pop science articles you read online, written by journalists? At best just clickbait. (I read them too. Only human...) Unfortunately there is no substitute to thinking for yourself. The best way to start is with the question "does it work?". If the question doesn't make sense no need to carry on, we're off science altogether.
