    I want to hit these people with a soggy toilet brush.

    The deteriorating material conditions are a threat to scientific progress. Capitalists gutting public education and spreading lies are a threat to scientific progress. Nerds pontificating about the “stupid” masses are doing nothing but spreading capitalist lies. Jesus fuck do I hate STEM-lords.

      So many of those smuglords have contempt for the masses but are the first to line up for “I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE” techbro hype gimmicks.

      Also

      Those who teach such ideas seem not to be aware that the world community of scientists would soon discard any hypothesis that conflicts with observation.

      Is complete nonsense some physicist are still jerking off to string theory despite (from my understanding) there being little evidence for it. Or in my own field we use the neutral theory of evolution and ecology for modeling, they conflict with our observations -and that’s a good thing they make for good null hypotheses in models.
