Why is it scientists would have us believe that they know everything definitively regarding covid, covid vaccines, climate change, etc?
- pc86 5y agoLiterally no scientist has ever said that they know everything definitively about any topic, let alone those.
- coding123 5y agoBut we ascribe policy as if they do know 100%.
- pc86 5y agoThe fact that politicians are idiots, in addition to surprising approximately zero people, shouldn't be used to impugn science.
- Spivak 5y agoI think there's a difference between "we make and adjust policy based on the strongest theory we have with an extra dose of caution" and "we think science is infallible."
