The media is notorious for spreading “the science is settle”, and the reaction of the public to label anyone a denier if someone doesn’t think /exactly/ the same way, has ruined science for me.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoIt shouldn't ruin science for you. It should ruin the media and the public for you.
- philliphaydon 6y agoIt’s ruined because look at climate change. While I think we can all agree that climate change is real. Science can’t agree. But if scientists research climate change and it doesn’t match the consensus they get massively sigmatised for it. Now scientists are effectively scared to research stuff because they don’t want to lose funding or get slaughtered for having an opinion that may differ in anyway from the “norm”. It’s quite scary what’s happening in the west due to the media and public. Not just in science.
