Let me just say that this guy seems to only have a loose grasp of what science is. A person who is reasonably educated about science has no difficulty discerning science quackery from real science, but this guy doesn’t seem to have that ability, or to acknowledge that anyone has that ability.
Nothing else he said makes sense, either. If you take his word, there are no conservative scientists—and that simply is not true! Science is way too logical and methodical for extreme leftists, who detest its rationality. Liberal scientists tend to think more rationally than their colleagues in the social “sciences”. If anything, it seems there is a preponderance of libertarian scientists, although I do run into quite a few fellow conservatives.
Which guy, Lee Harris or Chris Mooney?
