Patriotism*
I mean you can't write a whole paragraph about what a smart cookie you are and not proofread :p
I do appreciate "flag shagging wanker" tho since trump is literally that having fucked several flags without consent. And he's nothing if not a wanker.
Are you suggesting that 'smart' people are incapable of making errors... even a typo? :)
Good response.
I actually think this is actually a big component of widespread distrust of science, and experts more generally. I remember during COVID how some people in my country were distrustful based on how the science seemed to be changing. Specifically, how initially, it was uncertain whether COVID was transmissible via air, or just through the droplets spread through coughing or sneezing. This is part of why the policy messaging around mask usage seemed to be a bit muddy — because initially we didn't even know to what extent a regular cotton mask would help, or how important good airflow in indoor venues was.
Real science is messy and always evolving. Some of the most interesting scientific research happens in areas where our knowledge is tentative. What took me most by surprise was that some of the people expressing distrust in the science weren't anti-vaxxers or others who have already made up their mind against science, but just regular people who were so used to trusting scientific knowledge as an abstract construct that they ended up distrusting the scientific process. I think about this a lot.
Far to many people don't understand the difference between theory and scientific theory... One is a postulation on how people thing something works not based on provable and repeatable facts.. whilst the latter is (based on current understand of those provable/repeatable facts).
But idiots and those trying to distort and undermine to support their own bias and agenda, will never call it a scientific theory or attempt to explain the difference... and claim any change in the 'facts' is proof that it's fake... their inability to understand something further drives their ignorance.
It's Darwinism in motion for the world to see... and it's both saddening to see and hilarious to watch as people posted... 'Not wearing masks, covid is a hoax it's no worse than the flu'... and then over the coming weeks... see them posting... got covid, it's hell, please pray for me... can't breathe, in hospital, they refuse to give me invermectin (or whatever that drug was), doctors are trying to kill me... and then they die as a result of their own ignorance and hubris.
That madness also boosted the Sovereign Citizen Movement.
