That’s interesting - do you have some examples? I’ve seen quite a few similar memes, including some which explicitly support the scientific method, by contrasting it with what they claim to be politically motivated cherry-picking, “scientism”, etc.
- orblivion 5y agoThis one comes to mind: https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/965/960/38a.jpg https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/965/960/38a... I've seen nobody criticize the method in the abstract. I agree with the grandparent poster that that's troubling, if you've seen it. What I've seen from the right is a skepticism of the institutions. I'll admit I share this sentiment to an extent, though my perspective is as a mostly ignorant outsider, trying to figure out who and what to trust. I have seen criticisms of the peer review system, though it came from Eric Weinstein, not a right winger. And if I had to guess, he is concerned about climate change. I don't understand the peer review system well, but it makes sense to me that that if badly designed it could go horribly wrong.
