I'm assuming the prescription is just for bureaucratic purposes to determine who pays for the museum entry fees
- danielfoster 4y agoCorrect. Hopefully this isn't diverting public health money away from other things.
- spamuel 4y agoYeah that's the "something else". The scientific establishment has garnered quite a bit of credibility, resulting in society giving it more power. But now people who are only interested in the power are seeking to have their ideas perceived as scientific instead of political.

- spamuel 4y agoNo, I'm referring to the phenomenon that I guess most people are referring to as 'science vs "The Science"'. Science being the pursuit of knowledge through experimentation and peer review. "The Science" being the use of the imprimatur of scientific legitimacy as a political forcing function and illusion of neutrality to direct money and power in support of one's priorities. Using science for power the same way the establishment used to use religion for power.
