Great how about now we move to politics and I am sure that won't have any bad repercussions. Science denying has started appearing from both left and right, so I guess your suggestions is choose the lesser evil because "muh government funding".

And as far as I know none of them want to remove funding, so I guess your argument is that the areas you want to be funded possibly wont get funding. So you are just being a fucking hypocrite, because you wont get the "muh funding" and sit on your fucking ass research bullshit like most of the academia does this days.

In a perfect world we would. Personally I do, I don't want anything to do with politics and I avoid it at all times.
There will always need to be parts of science that work in politics though. Otherwise funding will get diverted to all the liberal arts degrees who make the most noise. Squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that.
Currently it's already hard to get new scientific ideas/discoveries through the valley of death and turn them into profitable companies but that's an area where the free market could play a big role (using bond packages see: Andrew Lo).

If you want a society that grounds its decisions in the firmest available scientific evidence, feigning neutrality does nothing to accomplish that.
With many of these fields (epidemiology being a highly relevant one recently) the goal is not to generate papers that will get shoved unread in a drawer, but to materially influence the wider societal approach to the topic under study, just as much materials science aims to convert its discoveries into real-world advances.

>> No.12292368

>>12292364
Yeah, it's wishful thinking to hope that science can exist in a vacuum and the rest of the world will just take the discoveries and make use of them then kick back the needed funding to make more.
Just think of how many concepts are known to be discovered by individual X only for it to be a minor note that actually Mr Y discovered it 68 years earlier but never published and his discovery was only discovered 4 years ago by an archivist going through his notes 200 years after the fact.

That's the most retarded attempt at reasoning I've ever read. Science being funded by the government doesn't mean it owes it in any way other than bringing science and technology themselves forward. We pay scientists to progress us independently from anything else around them. This independence is actually the very reason for government funds.
Btw I also think we should pay (real!) journalists government money so they can operate freely instead of having to produce clickbait to survive.

No. There was a presentation given right before Trump spoke. During that presentation, disinfectants, which included bleach and alcohol, were discussed. Trump heard it, immediately stepped up to the podium thinking he had a great idea, and let the world know about it.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-31/

>ACTING UNDER SECRETARY BRYAN: We’re also testing disinfectants readily available. We’ve tested bleach, we’ve tested isopropyl alcohol on the virus, specifically in saliva or in respiratory fluids. And I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes; isopropyl alcohol will kill the virus in 30 seconds, and that’s with no manipulation, no rubbing — just spraying it on and letting it go. You rub it and it goes away even faster. We’re also looking at other disinfectants, specifically looking at the COVID-19 virus in saliva.

>THE PRESIDENT: Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

This shit is so annoying. Life is so much more complicated than buzzwords. Every decent society is on some spectrum between socialism and capitalism, it's just a matter of moving the dial back and forth a bit.

People who want to argue socialism vs. libertarianism/capitalism, in the absolutist sense you see it in most stupid online political bickering (not an actual policy debate), are so fucking retarded. Obviously most people agree total anarcho-capitalism or centrally-planned communism are bad. (They're probably overrepresented on 4chan, but they're still definitely the minority.)

The defense of Trump here is that this is basically what he does 24/7. He wasn't literally saying "inject bleach into your lungs", he was just doing his typical bullshit salesman "we have this great thing and all of these great tremendous things". He doesn't know what'll come out of his mouth until he opens it most of the time. He's just shooting from the hip and making all of this shit up as he goes along.

So, he's obviously retarded and ignorant, and it isn't really a defense, but he's pretty much just retarded in the same way he always has been. He didn't suddenly go literal schizophrenia mode. When he later clarified his remarks as "joking", what he really meant was "I was just talking", in the sense of any NYC real estate tycoon "talking".

it is the jeudo christians atheists who politicize absolutely EVERYTHING, because it is literally their religions where they feel good about themselves by letting the plebs in the know of politics.
They hated it when the priests had their say in their affairs, like marriages, and in politics and so they swapped god with the republic. And to feel righteous they told the plebs they could vote, as if it was meaningful and the plebs could become bourgeois like them.
And of course when the plebs is talking it is about hedonism with delusion of altruism from time to time, in order to not feel selfish. This is why today you have sex talks in fields with no links to sex. Because you let women talk and comment and because the bourgeois let the plebs contemn.

Marx tried to so hard to larp that he even put high school maths his books, and made mistakes, but since the masses were not educated, just like today, they all viewed him as legit.

"The study identified the participants across a spectrum ranging from strongly Republican to strongly Democrat with Independents in the middle. It also measured a subgroup comprised entirely of white participants to eliminate the factor of race. The results showed that Republicans had a higher IQ score than Democrats.

The study used four measurements to determine the cognitive abilities of the participants. The first was a ten word vocabulary test to measure the verbal intelligence. A test of probability knowledge, and verbal reasoning was also used. Lastly, the test givers asked each participant of the tests how well they understood the questions.

The result was that those who identified themselves as conservative Republicans scored higher on the test, indicating a higher intelligence over liberal Democrats.

Noah Carl reasoned that Conservatives did better on the test partly in part due to their socio-economical positions in society. Those that have better socio- economical positions in society tend to identify themselves as Republicans.

These findings were consistent with a previous study that Carl did entitled, “Verbal Intelligence is Correlated with Socially and Economically Liberal Beliefs.” In that study, those who voted as Republicans had a slightly higher verbal intelligence than their counterparts on the other side of the aisle.

Carl did note a difference in two types of Republicans. A socially conservative Republican (pro- life, anti- gay marriage, pro- gun rights) scored lower on the test than the classically liberal Republican (pro- small government, maximum personal freedom, and maximum personal responsibility). However, the two Republican groups combined still scored higher than the liberal Democrat."

Kek, I haven't implied that you dumbass. It's simply a fact that with frequentist statistics you can perform an experiment flawlessly, but due to the finite nature of data you can arrive at the wrong answer to your question. It is the reason that no experiment gives an unequivocal answer, and can always be refuted should new evidence arise to do so. That absolutely does not mean that any and all findings are useless, that's a comically simplistic misconception on your part. It only implies that the longer a hypothesis stands unrefuted, the more credible it becomes. In the case of the current pandemic, little evidence was around to start with because Corona virology was a relatively obscure and underfunded field. It obviously no longer is, and we've learned a lot about this virus in a short period of time.

you do realize at least that the chance of making the wrong conclusion means a chance of making the wrong solution to a problem, right?
let's use the drug testing as an example. you make a trial, but the trial gets only few cases since it's desirable people don't get sick. you arrive to a conclusion that 70% cases went better than the other 30%. yet, it turns out that when the drug hits the market, it's pretty much 50-50, hence it doesn't have any effect. now, it's obviously simplified by a bit, but it does have a point and it does address the whole 'until evidence proves otherwise'.

Of course there are going to be those faggot-ass lefties who will try to lambast trump whenever they can. But there is also some well-founded criticism, when trump says something retarded, like the disinfectant statement, it is an indicator that he isn't doing his job well; by which I mean, "if this is the kind of retarded shit he's saying that we actually know about, what kind of retarded shit is he saying behind closed doors that affects the actual administration of the US?

trump is a normal stupid person, and as such he says stuff without thinking, and says things and forgets about them, and has ideas that look great now and retarded when he remembers about them the next morning. most people expect him to behave like the average manufactured fake public figure and 4 years of this and they haven't learned their lesson. 90% of the well-founded criticism you are talking about falls under this category, because your example is just another case of this

This is not a reasonable thing to say. We don't have several identical planet earths to test several different presidents and their response to covid. My opinion is that a less retarded president would have done better than trump did, by not reducing funding for anticipating and responding to pandemics before COVID became a thing.

Regardless, if you're going to get fucked by whoever is in power, you'd want to pick the person who is less retarded, since they'll be able to stop other countries from fucking the US, and if they're not retarded they'll be able to better handle things where your interests and theirs align.
For example, most people didnt want a pandemic to occur. Trump didn't want a pandemic to occur. His response is not benefitting him by fucking over the people, it's fucking the people and himself. If he was less retarded, he would have been able to act in his own self interest in a better manner
