Comment on: Conservative unease with science is global, but extreme in the US
Exactly this. The left tells us to "listen to the science", but when I point out bad, non-random, cherry-picked sampling methodology in their claim of a 95% consensus amongst scientists about climate change (or the fact that the argument by consensus/mob is a logical fallacy and has no place in science, has nothing to do with the scientific method whatsoever), or that NASA's "adjusted" temperature data completely fails to line up with history, depicting the droughts and resulting Dust Bowl that were a major contributing factor to the Great Depression as some of the lowest temperatures in the last century, and still shows rising temperatures as news article after news article at the time was predicting a "New Ice Age" due to the major decline in global temperatures for a good 20 years or so- If you dare bring up these things, they either come up with a new lie because they're a liar, or they clam up because they never thought about these things for more than five seconds before. These people know nothing of science, know nothing of statistics (and how easy it is to lie with them)- they simply defer to authority and consensus because there's so much they don't know and while appeal to authority and argument by consensus are both logical fallacies, they tend to work as a shortcut most of the time. ...But not all of the time, and this leaves them wide open to exploitation. I have a poor view of the field of psychology, but "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" does an excellent job of explaining this thoughtless, automated shortcuts that people engage in and how all sorts of people exploit these mental shortcuts for personal gain on a regular basis. https://www.bitchute.com/video/Rlu2eVWkegA/ https://www.bitchute.com/video/KZIwZ7W7fl8/ https://www.bitchute.com/video/vUMQGZEpD5E/ This guy (Tony Heller) just got banned off Youtube for a week, by the way. Can't let that pesky truth get out! He was banned for this video in particular: https://www.bitchute.com/video/hzXPxUaGY0g/
