Too much of what passes for science these days is mere statistical correlation, not cause-and-effect testing.

I’m so glad you said that! I keep repeating in my head — correlation doesn’t equal causation!

“”Too much of what passes for science these days is mere statistical correlation, not cause-and-effect testing.””

Don’t forget.... follow the herd because that is where the money is.

However, despite the most public scientific farce (global warming) in history and highly politicized research funding we still live in an unprecedented age of exponential technology/knowledge growth.

These are very interesting times in science and I suspect the world in 50 years would surprise us all.
