Thank fuck science is not “based on elected individuals” (or in other words “whoever my Facebook memes agree with”). What an utterly baffling position to have that “the pursuit of knowledge should be limited to preconceived ramblings of the uneducated”.
If it was a “form of protest”, they wouldn’t pull right in front of cyclists and roll coal on them. They are doing that purely based on preconceived notions that all cyclists are leftists, and they just want to make that cyclist angry.
If you want an example of “groupthink”, a perfect one is “climate science is wrong cause my Facebook memes say so”.
- akira2501 3y agoUnfortunately, "science" is never complete, "outcomes" still need to actually be measured, and making laws using shady "estimates" while ignoring all of the above is going to irritate people. As I said, you are apparently comfortable ridiculing what you don't understand rather than trying to understand it. Apparently a few youtube videos are enough to understand everything there is about "rolling coal." You decry groupthink, then you immediately engage in it, with pride, on hacker news. Well, I try once in a while, but my manners are apparently too anachronistic.
