  > Which one of those has more influence in the world? You’re asking whether science or popular pseudoscience has more influence?

  Hmmm. As I type this reply on my device powered by a semi conductor that wouldn’t exist without our knowledge of quantum physics I’m gonna say science.

    As I type this from a free country that allows me unrestricted access to worldwide media, and affords me the right to express my opinion freely publicly, I would say politics. We all have our own points of view. Yours is certainly an astute observation. But it is not the only one.

      > I would say politics False dichotomy. This isn’t science versus religion, philosophy, the humanities or politics. You repeated a meme: humans are animals plus some nebulous X. I’m calling that out as meaningless; it’s unfalsifiable. You switched to asking about the meaning of words, and are now trying to draw equivalence between your statements and the merits of politics as a category. This is an exercise in false equivalences, red herrings and wronger than wrongs [1]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wronger_than_wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wronger_than_wrong

        Thank you for the lesson. Now I am completely convinced of your point of view. You are so completely right.
