Controversial General Political Discussion

[Uncle Van]

Politicians and media (and some randos) will use science according to their confirmation bias, definitely.

Earlier I compared an individual's use of science in this thread to a Flat Earther. Flat Earthers don't ask themselves "Is the Earth flat?". They say "The Earth IS flat, and I'm gonna prove it." Que the constant disregard of round earth evidence.

This is the core problem...let's say there are 10 scientists working together. 3 of them say that a procedure is safe while the other 7 says it's not. Clearly a definitive conclusion has yet to be met.

However, some rando claims that the 3 scientists are correct, simply because the conclusion of those 3 fits in with their agenda. If you bring up the other 7, you get called a science denier.

Science is a constant work in progress. Biased individuals only push scientists that fits their agenda.

Lets not forget that scientists were also coerced into silence. The guy that worked on the early rna vaccines got erased from social media for calling out the covid vaccine as ineffective and potentially dangerous.

The idea that advanced civilizations are destined to wipe out less develop cultures. Darwin was a proponent of that. He categorized more humans based on skin color and facials characteristics too. Watch the video, it isn't a religious bs. There is valid criticism there.

That has nothing to do with evolution. And darwin isnt even remotely the end all be all for evolution anyway

Yep, they start out with their conclusion and try to work towards that conclusion. Thats anti-scientific in principle

Yes, the video isn't about evolution. Its about racism. If you cared to watch that thing for 15min you would understand the origins of racism as we know it today.

Aig is proposing young earth creationism though.

What about listening to researchers if you want to know more about racism ??

I swear his takes are very unhinged. This is what US elections does to your brain

 

[Ravagerblade]

No. You get called a science denier for denying the scientific process. No people called science deniers do the work to search for the consensus or for what the majority of scientists agrees on. (and usually, people who disagree with the consensus are not on a ratio of 3 to 7, but much less than that.)

Hah That was almost funny. If it wasn't so sad that you keep denying what you are.

If an attempt at the removal/deconstruction of an existing culture is made by a foreign party, the people within the confines of the existing culture will double down on defending it if the people notice that aspects of their daily lives are slowly changing for the worse.

An explanation for the pushback against LGBT+ and the almost uncontrolled number of migrants coming into the US by the local population (or in a state, country, or even online) that currently exist there since these two things are usually detrimental to their existing community.

A few fallacies here tho.

1. Progressism is not pushed by a foreign party. But by people inside the society that are fed up with problematic behaviors and intolerance.

2. People's daily life is not getting worse because of progressism but because of capitalism.

3. Migrants are not detrimental to societies. They are actually quite helpfull.

When there are two fallacies on the first 15 seconds, I really have no desire to watch the rest.

Nameless: the video isnt about evolution
The video in the first 10 seconds: systemic racism is taught in the public school system because it teaches evolution as a fact and science

Not to mention you unironically posted aig in the first place.

 

[Logiko]

then shut the fuck up

You are the one who speaks Billy.

 

[MangoSenpai]

It was not. Politician pushed it as a cure. Not scientists.

The ones who spoke out against it got silenced.

The chief medical advisor during Covid was Anthony Fauchi

He was the "science"

"science" said take the vaccine because it cures you.


What do you not understand.


Of course I know that real doctors and scientists were speaking out against it, but they were actively getting silenced during the pandemic.
