I can see a problem, i'm trying to ascribe a rationale to a subjective impression of attitude and POV. I'd have to catalog dozens of examples of low resolution assertions on a number of different topics and apply them to a proposition that makes sense and promotes an argument.
Understood. I completely agree with you.Miss_Faucie_Fishtits wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 2:04 amHey...... that's science. I have nothing against science, I have a problem with science being used as a cudgel in a lazy manner to make points and shut down dissents.....'>.......
Typically, in my experience. the people making such claims know next to nothing about science, rather they are members of a new secular religion - ideology some have called scientism with scientists-activists as the new prophets, peer-review is cited as proof as scripture was/is cited as proof by religious fundamentalists, and the opinions of scientists, the new authority figures, are held to be infallible as those of the RC Pope were/are held to be by believers.
The shutting down of scientific dissent is reminiscent of Lysenkoism. I call it Mannism, in honour of Michael "Hid the Decline" Mann who sets the activist cancel culture mob on any scientist who dares questions his and his fellow doomsayers apocalyptic man-made climate change predictions.
