Ideally, absolutely. That’s what makes the hallmarks of a great scientist.

In practice, institutionalized science can be just as dogmatic and closed-minded as some of the worst religions.

I have had advisors/coworkers/management straight up ignore certain evidence because it didn’t fit their preconceived views of what the results “should be”. This doesn’t make the process of science objective anymore when people are crafting experiments in ways to fit their views, or cherry picking data that conforms to their views.

And you would be surprised at how often this happens in very high-stakes science industries (people’s lives are at stake). It’s fucking disgusting, and extremely dangerous.

“I don’t have one” is what I typically say lol

False dichotomy.

You can blame more than one person at a time. You don’t have to pick one or the other to blame.

Also, straw man.

You made assumptions about the speaker that were never originally implied.

Because the people there didn’t allow US capitalists to exploit them and their resources; because the people started to organize themselves and their resources around public interest; because they were voting in leaders who didn’t allow US elite to exploit them.

And so they must be punished.

Yes I agree with this analysis

No no no, it’s “socioeconomic” profiling. Completely different I promise 😉

Basically, AT&T argues against it saying it’ll force them to innovate and be competitive with other services.

Won’t anyone think of the poor telecom shareholders??

I mean…it certainly hasn’t for me haha. But maybe I just haven’t taken enough 🤷‍♂️

Well they do have the whistleblower expansion pack too if flying the plane isn’t near death enough for ya

ITT: people who have clearly never done acid pretending they’ve done acid.

Not too sure why mods are deleting our discussions though…
