scientists are like gold prospectors dependent on assayers for their continuing in the mine
Science doesn't change just because some groups try to use it to forward an agenda.
What it is vs how it's (ab)used
Or "real science" versus "imaginary science"
Bonus round : "real science has never been tried"
ok, but according to science everyone is worthless
If you catch your friends using Science as a religion, tell them they're not a skeptic, they're a cunt.
Am scientist (well, was, before career change), can confirm. Fuck dogmatic scientists, they're worse than regular dogmatists because they've been given many opportunities to know better.
Critical theory, my beloved
Thank you so much for bringing tankie shit to this community!
I’m an anarchist who despises authoritairian tankies.
This is just critical theory, and meta science. Both of which are legitimate fields.
Even if you're a die-hard capitalist, you shouldn't use "tankie" as a broad label for anti-capitalists. Diluting it as a term just helps the actual tankies (authoritarian communists).
does tankie just mean "critiques capitalism" now?
This is tankie? It seems just communist.
After everything that happened in the 20th century to learn from, is there any difference?
The tankies don’t seem particularly picky about whether their contrarian cause celebres are actually socialist or just a dickhead dictator and his rich mates.
Source (of drawing)?
Yes and? Is the premise that capital only chooses bad things to research?
Capital has certain interests. If your research doesn't produce the results that capital is looking for, you're unlikely to get more funding. As such, it leaves a bias on what we have research for, which can already skew our perception of reality, and sometimes researchers will even fake their results or select certain data to reach a conclusion that's in the interest of the capital.
There are mechanisms in place to try to prevent that, namely peer reviews and reproduction of previous studies, so we'll hopefully get to the truth eventually, but the bias still has a big impact.
Plus publish or perish is real thing
Yes this all presupposes that this bias is a bad thing. Not saying that it isn't mind you
I dunno about science, but truth is proof. That just infers that science is various forms of proof, and I'm ok with that as it lets our notion of proof evolve as we do ^_^
