Science is a leftist atheist conspiracy

Post by Tero » Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:13 pm

There is no problem, you have to be positive. Consume! Otherwise we lose to socialism.

Or something like that. I don't know if the greens would have to be lableled socialist but certainly more for state control.

All the debates focus on pretending there is a debate and a controversy, there are theories and alternatives. Science is mostly wrong and there is no problem.

Good analytical quote, Tero. Where did you find it?
"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

I'd say there's a lot of uncertainty in those conclusions. :coffee:
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Which statement, of course, is a complete straw man, because the claim is not that "because we don't know everything, we know nothing," it's actually "because we don't know everything, we don't know everything."

Those quoting science (not the ones who actually do science) tend to engage in exactly the opposite fallacy, which is to presume that because science knows something, it knows everything.

Who was it said that if science thought it knew everything, it would stop?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

If you do not follow the trends and forecasts provided by science and operate strictly by the near future profit, we are soon in a dead end.
