Re; the meme here, a reader notes:
Modern science is religion. If you know what the scientific method entails and how the method is used, you will be able to call out the scammers. Since the 30s science has died. It is sad, what people call science now days. Science is a word that automatically adds credibility, while completely staying away from real science.
Thanks for this. I’ll try to remember to pass this along to my friends in the biologic and physical sciences, who represent a tiny fraction of the many millions of those who are making our lives longer, healthier, better informed, and more productive.
I recognize that my comment here is horribly sarcastic, but I get this constantly, given that I interview climate scientists and report on their work. It never ceases to amaze me how people with elementary-grade educations (at best) are so grossly critical of our most distinguished intellects.
Here’s a short video that addresses the assault that the U.S. federal government is conducting on the health of people in red states and counties.
Of course, this is another fine example of what Lyndon Johnson said: “If you can convince the lowest white man that he’s better than the finest black man, he’ll open up his wallet to you.”
In this case, uneducated white people don’t care about their own ignorance or poverty or disease, as long as their president is vigorously punishing non-whites.
To the point being made at left, I’m a progressive, but I honestly couldn’t care less if white people of the American south want to wallow in incest, disease, poverty, and ignorance.
On the other hand, I am concerned about the plight of hungry children, homeless veterans, the collapse of the environment, the destruction of the educational system, and the criminal psychosis of the U.S. president.
I had a friend who co-coached my son’s all-star soccer team with me 20+ years ago who told me, when I told him that I was an environmentalist, “Oh no, Craig, we must hasten to destroy the Earth, so as to welcome the return of Jesus Christ,” by which, of course, he meant the rapture, the apocalypse as discussed at length in Revelation.
I have heard some twisted s*** in my time, but this stands at or near the top.
