          Sounds like the error is yours. Trusting science isn't tantamount to trusting academia.
          • smegsicle 5y ago
            science is a process, not an assertion of the correctness of a certain viewpoint 'trusting science' is a paradoxical phrase, and when used in the context of coercing behavior and thought in a particular direction is anti-science, no matter how peer-reviewed and authority-supported that direction is
            • slothtrop 5y ago
              And when the process leads you in one direction?
              • smegsicle 5y ago
                probably a useful model in that direction

          I went through the first 8 results or so, and none of them actually provide a quote of someone saying that. Rather, they seem mostly critiques of the mantra, which I assume was being used on Facebook and things at the time most of those articles were written.

  There's a universe of difference between avoiding blind faith and distrusting "academia", which is a very broad category. We all only have the information that is available to us.
• nitwit005 5y ago
  I doubt even the authors of these papers would tell you to blindly trust them.
