Hot take: The absolute scientism of the left (lacking all nuance on scientific issues) is just as harmful as the anti-science rhetorc of the right... science is nuanced, remove the nuance and all you have is dogma.

@freemo "Don't question the science". That's the f&cking point of science, to question everything in pursuit of the truth. The left often weaponizes science, the the Church did so long ago. If people didn't question the science, we would still believe that we are the frickin' center of the universe.

@obi Hey look its great to be open-minded but at the same time dont be so open-minded your brains fall out.

@obi @freemo
What left-wing person are you quoting who said "don't question the science"?

@ceoln
I don't know. 87 million people on twitter. Journalists. I was actually changing the quote as to not having to bring up the person most known for it, who has a cult following, and who IS science, himself.

Um, okay. Hard to tell what you're referring to, though. :)
