Science is disappearing from science.
Dennis Prager said it best: the lefties ruin everything they touch.
The Scientific "Consensus": "God does not exist. Science is God. Science exists. So shut up. Period."
It is the modern Lysenko model
Anyone who was in school prior to the millenium was taught that the one true constant was math. Math has been declared racist so basically anything goes. Thank you for playing and thank you for all the fish!
I remember the Scientific American. Full of theoretical and practical science articles that I could barely understand.
Today it’s a leftist rag. I read in it a couple of years ago a description of the Y, male chromosome as “puny.” This from a magazine that calls itself scientific.
Scientific American is worth nothing.
“Scientific American is worth nothing.”
SA is now neither.
Science has become a religion, heresy is the new crime.
While the top priest might not be allow to burn heretic at the stake, they can shun them as well as marginalize them.
Ironic that cancel culture was born in the “free speech” movements in universities during the 1960.
Scientific dissent almost disappeared in the 50s as well, when science was positive it knew everything and it wad just a mater of filling in the details - its cyclical. Don’t put a lot on it.
It these insidious efforts that a blossoming across our
nation. These as much as anything else reveal how lost
our nation is.
Trump has a big job ahead of him.
But what is Truth?
Is it unchanging law?
We shall have Truth
Is mine the sames as yours?

Many folks may view my posts as anti-science when in fact what I am against is the massive use of federal funds to skew scientific research.
The ideological censorship is a major issue.
Another (less discussed) but equally important issue is that the use of federal grants narrows the vision of science so it just confirms existing paradigms.
Anything “out of the box” becomes unfundable which means that true scientific progress gets crippled.
Scientists are always tempted to ignore outlying data that does not fit with their hypotheses, and of course the more established they are the greater their defense of existing paradigms since their reputations are often based on them.
They are also tempted to “fudge” data to make sure it meets the “goals” of the grants.
Then there is the peer pressure to conform or be considered a “kook”.
The result is group-think that can easily devolve into stupidity.
“Follow the science” these days often means obey or starve.
It is almost like the whole world was blinded with science
But what about the 97% Consensus (Oxygen)?
I have degrees in science from both MIT and Harvard. And I am appalled at how WOKE both universities have become!!!!
I am also appalled at how one has to pick through all the WOKE articles in MAJOR scientific journals in order to find the real science!!!! Who knows how much wokeness has infected peer review as well!!!!
