Gotta line up with mnh and mindmetoo on this.

Science isn't a democracy, it's a meritocracy, and one that is forever open. Quality shows over time, and is demonstrated by continuous support and extended by revision of fundamental results.

I'm proud of having written one article that others have found useful, but know that my word is not final on the issue I wrote on. I also know that others have disagreed with what I wrote, but have learned much from their collegial comments on my work. I'll work to make what I do better in the future.

What passes for "science" is in truth far closer to a massive institutional "conspiracy" Idea


Based on what "evidence"?

I see nothing there about a massive conspiracy.

I think if we vote down gravity it would help with the overweight health problems.

Science is far more a dangerous dictatorship than democracy Idea

Think e.g. (if you dare) hegemony & "truth" = POWER! Twisted Evil

NEW RELIGION.
