Why are "natural scientists" horrible?
Why are "social scientists" horrible? What's the difference? jfc.
TBH the attack on "social science" is a longstanding fascist project to impose social oppression.
Yeah I mean, I don't disagree. I was just taken aback that they mentioned "natural scientists"
I completely agree.
I apologise for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that if people would trust businesspeople over natural scientists in matters of social issues, that is already bad, but if people would trust businesspeopls over social scientists in matters of social issues, that's a significantly worse judgement to make.
