@aldous Science isnt about truth, truth as an idea is a human construct, not real... What science aims to do is to describe models of the real world that are useful in their ability to predict how and why things behave the way they do. Repeatability is what science is about, some people make the leap (IMO incorrectly) that this infers truth, there is no such thing as truth.

@thephilosopher@mstdn.io @Science Scientists are not equal to science. By definition if a scientist is acting on bribery, blackmail, censorship, etc, then they arent a scienctist, they arent doing science.

But more to your point, I have never really seen any sentiment that would agree with what you suggest, that they think doctors are infallible. In fact much the opposite, doctors who have been caught acting as a result of bribery or self-interest are usually shouted from the roof tops by other scientists and shamed. A perfect example of this is the doctor who was caught lying about vaccines causing autism. The scientific community also quickly corrected course and considered such publications as debunked.

What you do see however, and what I suspect you may be talking about, is that people require evidence a scientist, especially a well respected one, is subject to bribery or extortion before we start screaming about it. Conspiracy theorists just going "yea well scientists are corrupt so im not going to trust all science" are often the ones corrupted by bias and cant or wont do any legitimate science.

> We often need conduct our own scientific research and investigations to learn the truth.

That is exactly what peer-review is. The ability for anyone to conduct your own research, run your own tests, and then submit it as part of the peer review of a paper to debunk it, under heavy scrutiny and analysis

So yes do your own research, but unless you've done it such that it is open to criticism and debunking you arent doing valid science.

@Science

@rodolpho Yes, cant have parents abusing kids by letter them outside now can we!?

@pthenq1
No there are civil unions and marriage. Many republicans support civil unions of gays which is usually treated the same as marriage.

@pthenq1 Huh, your assertion was that the party was against Gay Adoption, I dont see anything in the link you provided about Gay adoption, nor in the screen shot.

You are also diverging from the point. As I stated while many gays are anti-DNC they are not necessarily pro-GOP. So to keep harping on the point of how bad the GOP is is completely moot as I stated before.

@pthenq1 You linked a specific republican governor, not stance of the party itself.

You just need to link **1** article showing it is the stance of the **party** and not an individual of the party (very different things).

There also republican party members who support gay marriage, so again pointing to the opinions of members of the party is not the same as saying it is a stance of the party, not by a long shot.

It may very well be that all the LGBT people who happen to be voting for republicans simply vote for the ones who have reasonable LGBT policies and not the ones your likely to link.

@Bradley_JF I will likely need to attach it to the wall, no other options really.

@AmpBenzScientist yes I am working on an aiyara cluster too, and yes they are useful. Just saying they cant really replace the GPUs, even aiyara cluster with GPUs (which is what mine is) cant replace fewer more powerful GPU's on the same bus.

@AmpBenzScientist by the way, thanks, I just snatched up the domains aiyara org/net/io

@AmpBenzScientist Why is that? Not sure I follow (though i suspect its a joke, but I still dont follow).
