To anyone who may visit from the future: I feel bad about this post but can no longer edit it. I believe in the content (that a lot of anti-science beliefs and political positions are due to a combination of self-interest, cowardice, and laziness.)

This lapse is especially annoying since another thing I believe in is civility [1]. Anyway, sorry. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8851206 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8851206
