Do you trust scientists more than non-scientists in non-scientific matters?

>> No.1432290

depends on what. I mean, i wouldnt trust anyone with the shit they spew on E!

what non-scientific stuff do you mean?

>> No.1432297

I kind of group people into groups of "can think scientifically" and "can't"

I trust people that think about things before they spout anything

>> No.1432313

>>1432290

Matters related to literature, law, history, philosophy, religion, visual art, or music.

besides clothing and popular celebrity gossip, what stuff doesn't have at least *something* to do with science?

So you wouldn't trust a movie review by a critic who doesn't "think scientifically"?

in that case, i would trust individuals who specialize in each respective field.

I would trust Mark Twain with issues of literature over Steven Hawking and Joe Dumbfuck.

I would trust my Lawyer with issues of law over Carl Sagan and Bill McFuckstain.

I would trust Leopold von Ranke with issues of history over Richard Dawkins (unless were talking about evolutionary history) and Sally Praystoomuch.

I would trust Plato on issues of philosophy over Bill Nye and David Davidson.

Why would you trust anyone with religion? The entire concept of religion is designed to fuck you over. Don't trust anyone who claims to work for, understand or be a part of, any god or his "great plan". Just stay away from this steaming pile of crazy bullshit.

I would trust Bob Ross on issues of visual art more than James Watson and Emily O'Slutbagg.

I would trust Hans Zimmer on issues of music more than Jane Goodall and DJ Cocksucker.

sociology

>> No.1432371

Generally speaking, I first judge an opinion based on its own worth, independent of who said it. Then, once I've determined the credibility of the statement, I look at who said it. If the person is an expert in a relevant field, I accept as being more or less true. If he's outside of his field, I think, "well it could still be true, but..."

If the statement is retarded, I don't even bother looking at the expertise of the speaker.

Also, there's a difference between unintuitive and straight-up retarded.

>sport
besides injuries, and materials involved in making shoes with the best traction, gloves with the strongest grasp, balls that can travel quickly and can withstand being kicked, thrown, hit with a bat, etc.

>cooking
no science in cooking? methinks you need to learn how to cook. The whole process by which you make new recipes is very similar to the scientific method.

Watching and doing sports has nothing to do with any of the things you mentioned.

And you obviously never cooked a meal in your life, let alone cooked something "new"

wtf are you talking about.

OP:

So you would trust one of your professors more than, say a sports commentator, or a chef, just because hurr durr there's some science underpinning everything.

These so called experts are great at describing surface details, but only a scientist say anything meaningful about anything.

Easy question to me...
i would rather trust a priest then a sceintist.

great chanse the sceintist is an atheist.
Atheists are known for thier lack of moral, they don`t give a shit if they are arrogant,lying in thier profit,stealing and even pedophile.
They all talk it good to themselves in the name of social darwinism.

i don`t care about the shitstorm as usual of calling me retarded and shit.
Just accomodate your children to sceintist if you prefare to do so... but don`t be surprised if they return all sorts of fucked up.

I guess a more useful question is, if u appreciate "hard" scientists doing "soft" science with the quantitative framework??

>> No.1432781

if the field is scientific, I trust those that think scientifically and have experience in the field

if it is not, then I don't listen to experts whatsoever

Chem major here, after gen chem, organic, and analytical labs, I can make some awesome ass cake. Chemistry improved my cooking 10 fold.

Plus, as scientists we will never have girlfriends, so we have to learn to cook for ourselves.
