@jascha scientists do not want you to know their password and three security questions

@jascha @chirpbirb they also tend to want to talk about what they *don't* know

@jascha Yeah. Have you ever tried talking to a scientist about their field of study? I don't particularly recommend it; once you get them going, it's damn near impossible to get them to shut up!

@jascha Scientists probably don't want you to listen to flat earth no-vaccines guy, but that's because someone did the debunking 50 years ago back when that seemed worth doing.

Oh please someone read this paper. Anyone! Anyone with a heartbeat please read this paper. Here.
The assholes at Elsevier put it behind a paywall but here's a preprint you can share with anyone else who has a heartbeat.
Please for the love of God. Anyone read this!!!

@jascha it's the whole point of science.
The friction occurs because of who funds studies, etc. And that can be legitimate.
But science itself is just science.
Every conversation I have had where I encountered this, I made that point. And it sticks.
There is bias in some aspects of what is *presented* as science.
But that's not science.
Science is not marketing. So I point to that.

@noplasticshower @jascha One of the many reasons I follow you.
My own writing tends toward the same thing, but I am not a scientist. I just follow coherence. It takes me to interesting places.

Reminds me of that jokeChild to his biologist dad:
"Dad what's an electron?"Dad: "Why don't you ask your mom, she's the physicist, electrons are her wheelworks."
Child: "But I don't want to know *that* much about it."

@noplasticshower @jascha It's a marathon, that's for sure.
The Distraction economy keeps the good stuff out of people's heads. Been writing about that, though data sovereignty has been the more prominent thing in the past week. Wrapping that up today on knowprose.com.

If anything, scientists are wary of telling you because they know you’ll take whatever they say to the most illogical conclusion. -

@jascha they put all their shit online and are begging you to engage with their ideas, if you can credibly disprove something they will change their theories because of you!

@jascha while I agree that it is indeed an overly generalist statement, I don’t think you should dismiss everything someone says after they made a possible mistake.
Physicians often don’t want you to know about metaphysics. Biologists often don’t want you to know about endogenetics. Computer scientists don’t want you to understand quantum computers.
Scientists are people like everyone else, and they too will often deny what you say based on bias or pass you off like a hot potato.

Not exactly, for example, medical research is riddled with misogyny. The bias towards white males in scientific studies does lead to conclusions which are incorrectly applied to the whole of humanity.
