Clothes... their iPhones...              Turn back the clock to the George Dubya Bush years and not       one jackass ranting about "Climate Crisis" had any doubt that       the scientific grant process was POLITICAL. That, if you       wanted the grant money you did work -- and got results -- that       the people signing your checks wanted to see.              They even made a movie about it. You can rent it, even on that       job at Starbucks, and watch it yourself. But, try to watch it       with others, people who can explain it to you as it goes along:              "A Flock of DoDos."              There's one great scene in particular where these scientists       are all sitting around, playing poker, and talking about this       very issue! At that time, under George Dubya Bush, the big       issue wasn't Gwobull Warbling, it was evolution. Bush owed a       lot to the Religious Reich, the fundies hate evolution and       love creationism, even invented "Intelligent Design" to       pretend that creationism isn't religion... but if you wanted       them to sign the checks for you, you avoided evolution.               ...I even recall one money-brubbing ass lick of a       "Scientist" who spewed some paper on how Darwin's "Pangenesis"       was real, instead of the pseudo scientific nonsense we all       know it is....              Money.              We've had proof of the corrupting power of money, we've had       proof of how what we think of "Science" is more often politics       and we've had this proof for DECADES. At least.              And it's not just evolution and Gwobull Warbling either.              I'm CONSTANTLY complaining about the fake "Science" they label       "Paleo anthropology."              "Paleo Anthropology" it so "Anthropology" what "Biblical       Archaeology" is to "Archaeology."                                                                                    --       https://jtem.tumblr.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
