The reason it's so minor is it you're comparing One Lunatic with thousands violent protesters. But yes there are incidents. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost the entire medical community was over-prescribing antibiotics until like The Spider and the Fly it turned out there were repercussions. Or when the go-to method for treating ulcers from the medical community was drinking lots of milk. Or even more hilarious experts in the field of economics.

WSS Science evolves when presented with new facts. It's a novel idea that a lot of people and institutions could learn a lot from. Not to mention there's a clear disconnect between a catchy headline with "SCIENTISTS SAY TO DO THIS" and what the actual report says. I've had this conversation with Chris in PMs in the past. There was a large "anti-expert", anti academic movement involved with Brexit as well. We were both equally annoyed at it. There's nothing I am going to say to convince you otherwise. If someone wants to be in the "stupid college elitists and their degrees? What do they know? Global warming?! It snowed here yesterday!" crowd then it's probably a lodt cause. Maybe it's a difference in background, idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's a difference in background, idk. And problems occur when we oh, probably many of us, have the attention span of a fly. People who view experts like cavemen View the Sun and Moon insist we changed the entire world based on a scientific whim which may turn out to be bulshit in a matter of days. Then again fuck global warming. Unless you are willing to except the sacrifice to an extent that might make a **MASK** hair of difference then STFU. Not you in particular those who keep bleeding about it. WSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
