(RW vs LW; believing science or not...)

I belive in science, it's just the people claiming to represent science are not actually doing science. Academia is rotten to the core. Propagandists and charlatans killed science, and are wearing its dead skin as a disguise to give their lies undeserved credibility.

and meme i cant find now. how pol-line get narrower on RW politics-only /
one where opinion on science got swapped from 2012s to 2020s (RW vs LW; believing science or not...)

I belive in science, it's just the people claiming to represent science are not actually doing science. Academia is rotten to the core. Propagandists and charlatans killed science, and are wearing its dead skin as a disguise to give their lies undeserved credibility.

The left sort of went mad. They aligned themselves with insane interests, pedophilia, mental illness, all manner of social degeneracy, and they wrapped it up in bow and sold it to us and our children as virtuous. The surge in right wing ideology is a result of the pendulum swing.

Scientists are often leftists because they have peer pressure in academia, as well as humanities courses in which they are taught from the perspective of Critical Pedagogy, which itself stems from 1930s Critical Theory. Critical Theory forms the basis for the left wing world view.

Science isn't supposed to be left or right, but the politics and education behind it is inherently left wing and based on critical theory. This is why colleges churn out leftists. They teach children using Marx's last great command to the Frankfurt school. "Criticize everything that exists vehemently." Michael Knowles details this wonderfully in his book, "Speechless".

I believe in science when it makes common sense to do so. I don't believe in science that appears bought and paid for. My wife is a microbiologist, as an undergrad and as someone who graduated, she worked for a couple of different fairly prestigious colleges in academia. Drug companies simply paid for the result they wanted and the post doc she worked for didn't tell her during the drug discovery trials that a company was sponsoring the study. Flat out she was the 2nd author on that paper and had her name removed. They were representing this new compound as a treatment for cancer, based on the ditzy chick she worked with using 10x the moles of drug on the cells. Yeah it cures cancer, by killing all the cells nearby as well. They printed that bullshit in a publication... Academia is no different from industry. A non-trivial amount of "Science" flies after proving what those with funding want.

Just like UCLA stopped the "non-affirming" science that criticized trans-sexuality. If the science says that the universe came from nothing, matter appeared from nowhere, infinitely packed and hot, and nothing came from nothing, with no input and no energy, and nothing created it. Well, I'm gonna side with the right wing on that one and say, God created it. That we exist and can have these conversations is not an accident, we cannot even fathom the 1 in X chance, there are billions of variables that would have to prove. It's foolishness. Someone or something with intelligence created the universe, and that someone, for me, is God.

Science is the explanation of God's method of creation, not his replacement.

Feels almost as if we're in another dark age doesn't it? Instead of the church suppressing information it's a new form of puritans.

The "molecules" part... Reminds me of R/science... There was very neat quote once that went like "so we asked 10 people in cafe and some friends in our survey, made paper about that thing and now we proved what everyone knew already(, just to make people mad about it)."
What is worse is, when those News at 11 make people look smart, however the OP article paper could be totally out of context. What huts the news, internet, is "what we already knew (from anectotes)".
Basically "I am so smart, already knew that" average redditor moment.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure! It has nothing to do with feminism and LGBT agendas being forced by Jews for a long time, with Jews now forcing LGBT agenda even to Japan:
people who say it's anime causing lgbt shit, specially trans stuff, are the goofiest goobers. Japan is currently still one of the countries with the most traditional view of "gender roles" there is. Even their most liberal people probably still hold views that the western left would view as problematic. not saying they're perfect or anything but the accusation is downright ridiculous and my own personal theory is these ideas have been astroturfed by intelligence agencies in order to break and mold communities like image boards. They've been cracking down on them so hard these past few years, the rise of the "alt-right" and all those shooters, perfect excuses to harass the owners and take control of the sites or simply remove them altogether.
Glowies are very active online, specially places like 4chins, where they execute divide & conquer tactics, as well as muddying the waters, driving conversation towards certain topics and away from others. Never let your guard down.

Also why they never punish the bullies but punish the bullying victims instead that fight back?
Think of it like this, when the bullies do it, they don't really make a scene, meaning lazy teachers don't have to directly acknowledge it. But when the bullies kid finally fights back, it takes kids by surprise, making a scene, meaning even the laziest teachers have to acknowledge it, especially since fights because of self defense tend to be more violent.

While funding is a big part of this, there is also a lot of incompetence in academia. I have worked with post-docs that don't know the most basic things about common study design flaws or which statistics are appropriate to use. The worst part is I think a lot of this is learned from mentors too, so it's not just that these people are incompetent, but they're also actively being taught things that in my opinion are nonsensical.

My wife said nearly the same thing. I am paraphrasing her now. She encouters a non-trivial amount of people who are post docs (Ph.D) that struggle to design experiements have trouble with concentrations of liquid, with people in laboratories, or lab techs that may or may not understand these concepts as well, since most often they are new. Some Ph.Ds do really well on the bench and learn really well, but others were never solid on the bench and are now designing expermients and are applying for the grants, and taking the direction to funding. It's sub optimal, and the push to add diversity, equity and inclusion amplifies this. Science must be a meritocracy or it is a farce. Not only that many of the Ph.Ds switch fields, but may or may not have an ego with the credential, and make mistakes in the new field or don't pay attention. According to my wife, there is a good reason MDs don't do research. They miss the fine details that scientists may not.

IIRC, the porportion of young women in Japan who starred in adult film movies is something like 1/4th of that demographic and other stuff is more normalized that would be considered shocking by traditional Western societal views, like the rampant sexualization of kids and the nonchalant tolerance of the sex industry.
Yet, I don't have either belief that Japan is some pro sexually liberated space or some based trad place. It's got a unique culture that developed outside of the context of ours and shouldn't be totally clasped onto either Western world view's assumptions of how societies function even if I think it's dumb to be overly enthusiastic about a place being le based tread when it's just a direct underling of the American/Anglo dominant global hegemony which covers the same liberalism this board is against.

Also, even if anime isn't real life, when you read the justifications anime and manga writers have for their story-telling it's often done under a degree of artistic license which falls in the umbrellas of the tenants of older liberalism before it went totally "corporate woke". That's where you can see why anime and Japan used to be idolized by the lefties in the 90s/2000s for being more progressive than the so-called religious fundamentalist, puritan, backwards USA/West. (Does anyone here remember that?).
They likely were ruled by very conservative old guards who were the last remaining generations left of nationalism and traditional Japanese values, the younger population for a while was more politically indifferent with liberal undertones (this was reported on for years), now that the old guards are dying off their USA overlords are replacing them with masters that fall in line with the current political agenda of the West. Basically, it's just Western dominance all over again.

As for tradition, a traditional country by Western standards is probably one of those Christian countries with lower development like Georgia or Armenia. But nobody says it because they aren't glamourized enough lol

Don't really get this rant to be honest, or why quote me. I didn't say Japan is epic trad, I said they hold a more "traditional" view of "gender roles", which I still think is true, particularly when compared to the anglosphere's "woke culture" which was being discussed. Women going into the porn industry actually doesn't go against this idea either, and I don't know what you mean when you say "1/4th of this population", of what population? The country's? Seriously doubt that lol. That's a huge amount of people but hey if it's true that's crazy!
I don't hold the view of Japan as a perfect place as I stated previously but that was never really my point. Simply that I don't think their cartoons have any relation to the current push for normalization of transgender people as some actually insane people will claim.

The only part that is true is the amount of young women in Japan that have starred in adult videos. Everything else is bullshit. Show me where Japas have sexualized ACTUAL kids.
 
no conspiracy, but true. milgram experiment.
they thought 10% will only commit to authority,
but 60s% did, which is worse.

1/4th of the young women. Also, I wasn't really ranting at you so sorry if it came off that way. I actually agreed with a lot of what you said.
I don't think anime turns people transgender either, lol, but for a while anime was definitely more "progressive" about homosexuality and "gender queer" (so-called) themes before the West was even open about it so I can see how people could start to make that connection even if it's not really true.

You didn't know actual CP used to be legal there not too long ago? I'm not talking about fictional lolicon material, son.

It took until 2014 for pornography featuring actual children (under the age of 18 or pre-pubescent) to be considered a nationwide offense.
