Look, gang…. This is exactly the problem with the “Believe the Science” crowd. The whole thing is based on the idea that a white lab coat shields one from bias, from greed, and the lust for having one’s moments in the spotlight. Tyson is certainly one of the prominent examples of this…. and Bill Nye, as well. When you see “SteakUmms” X account slapping Tyson upside the head with reality, you know it’s a simple case of Tyson’s inflated head.
“Believe the science” almost always translates out to “Shut up and obey”. The mishandling of Covid, and indeed it’s (illegal) creation, the wildly weak case of “Climate change”, etc, should be taken as a strong confirmation of this.
As I said some months back,..
All too often on the advice of experts we have caused death and destruction on a scale that would be impossible without the expert label and certainly would be impossible without the force of government behind that advice turned into law.
And so now, we have the soundly defeated Democrats, complaining that there isn’t enough expertise in Trump’s cabinet nominees. Apparently they’re forgetting the list of people they considered qualified:
Let’s just take the first example: A middle-aged overweight guy who is trying to pass himself off as a woman, on physical and mental health, who they appointed as Ass’t Secretary of Health. This isn’t expertise, this is mental illness writ large. Get the picture?
