Comment on Is a scientific lifestyle even possible?
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoIf you really want to view it that way, but it’s more about trust structures than outright authoritarianism. It’s not blindly believing the “science authority” it’s having oversight bodies and watch dog organizations to call out when things don’t smell right.

Authority is always a black box. Say what you will about all the good truthy stuff inside, but from the outside it’s always an attractive person with a nice outfit and a loud, confident voice.

Those are celebrities. Don’t listen to them. You may want to Google a guide to recognizing nerds and geeks.
