The politicization
of science is
a real problem.
It seemed to start
when the "coming
"global warming
crisis" began to
ramp up in the
1980s.
People struggled
to predict the local
weather one week
in the future ... while
others claimed they
knew the
global average
temperature
in the next
100 years !
40 years later
we know that
computer models
have over-predicted
global warming by
2x to 3x ... and yet
the newest models
are predicting even
faster warming !
The scientific process
has been corrupted
by repeated wrong
climate predictions
to shape mainstream
opinions.
Leftists have
always been
advocates of
social engineering.
And they love using
“science” to further
their political agenda.
Even Karl Marx
had a notion of
“scientific socialism”.
But It’s only
pseudoscience,
not real science.
Leftists believe
they can control
the economy as if
it were a machine.
But an economy
is too complex
for central
management.
Marxists and socialists,
are behind the coming
global warming crisis,
full of pseudoscience,
"adjusted" numbers,
and 60+ years of
always wrong
predictions of doom.
Government funding
is authorized by
the politicians.
They make decisions
for political reasons.
They hire scientists
for political reasons.
Democrats think
of themselves as a
“Party of Science”,
while Republicans
are the party
of business.
To them,
"science"
is whatever
government
bureaucrat
scientists
they hire
predict !
People who
vote Republican
tend to be religion
-oriented.
"Scientific thinkers"
tend to see religion
as irrelevant.
Many Democrats
are secular and
seem to be
non-religious ...
except for climate
change, which seems
like a "secular religion".
Democrats confuse
being secular with
being scientific,
while actually
being the party
of pseudoscience.
Their positions on
climate change,
GMO foods,
and vaccines
are all anti-science.
Real science
does not mix well
with politics
... or religion.
Democrats see
themselves as
rational thinkers,
and Republicans
as superstitious
religious zealots.
They're all religious
zealots in my opinon
-- climate change
is a leftist religion.
In the climate change
secular religion,
the conventional
religion version
of "hell" has been
replaced with the
leftist fairy tale
of Earth becoming
as hot as hell, due to
global warming.
President Trump
admitted to taking
hydroxychloroquine
as a preventative
measure against
the coronavirus.
The leftist-biased
media went crazy,
often citing a
The Lancet
published study
as proof that
hydroxychloroquine
was dangerous.
People used
that “science”
as a political
weapon.
Then The Lancet
retracted the anti-
hydroxychloroquine
study, which the
media had used
to attack Trump !
Bogus research
had made its way
into The Lancet,
a prestigious
peer-reviewed
medical journal.
The corruption
of science
over the past
few generations
is tragic.
Scientific American,
Discover, and New
Scientist have all
been politicized.
In a 2018 hoax,
three academics,
who were disgusted
with widespread
incompetence
and dishonesty
in research,
submitted absurd
“spoof” papers
to twenty leading
journals.
The papers were
full of made-up facts,
and flawed reasoning.
They did not appear
to contradict any
science "consensus".
Most of them were
peer-reviewed
and published.
If an academic
wants to advance
in today’s university
system, he has to
publish research
-- written mainly
to boost his
credentials,
not to advance
scientific
knowledge.
The average guy
may not know much
about science, but
still has some respect
for it.
That respect
is shrinking
as the science
has become
more and more
politicized.
Conflicting
information
about COVID-19
was a good
example.
The Democrats
cheered for
bad news
predictions,
while Republicans
cheered for good
news predictions.
The main effect
of COVID-19
is not likely
to be medical:
It’s the gross
over-reaction
by governors
who 'attacked'
the economy
in their states.
The primary role
of government
is supposed to be
protecting people
from coercion.
But governments
are now involved
in almost everything,
so they need many
“experts” to decide
what to do.
Like Dr. Anthony Fauci,
a lifelong bureaucrat.
He believes he knows
what’s best for you.
A typical leftist bureaucrat
-- always confident,
but usually wrong.
COVID-19
was an excuse
for some people to
destroy / remake
our economy
as we know it,
similar to
global warming,
Keynesian
economics,
Marxism, and
other forms
of "scientism".
