Are you aware of widespread fraud in the data associated with insect population decline? Or are you arguing that science is just inherently fraudulent or unreliable? These sound like pretty extreme responses of the type ancaps gave for years to the claim that global surface temperatures were rising. Those looked pretty quaint even without the benefit if hindsight.
- verisimi 2y agoI am arguing that scientific data is unreliable in general.

- verisimi 2y agoPersonal verification. At least some attempt towards that. And I don't mean reading an article. The scientific method applied personally. Pretty much no one is checking anything.
