There's no "both sides" in science.
- more_corn 1y agoI mean, there is the side that is backed by evidence and the one that is not. That’s two sides. I just don’t feel inclined to listen to the side that is not.

- the_real_cher 1y agoI guess the side that give the Nobel prize to lobotomies wasnt backed by evidence? Or were they backed by evidence? And then stronger more compelling evidence came out later against? Thats kind of how science works, its a process of discovery not a set in stone right/wrong. Things arent as reductionist as you claim, it does people good when they open their world up to that fact.
- sheepdestroyer 1y agoNot only in science. Even (or especially) in impartial journalism or public debate, there's no valid reason why any unfounded (thus illegitimate) opinions should get as much consideration as sound and researched arguments.
