It's got a set of DNA - a book, set of rules, or a specific ideology that serves as the building blocks for its entire being. Over time mutations can appear as culture adopts the instructions to better suit the environment, and sections that failure to adopt die off. 5/

I'm thinking of one professor who wrote a mild criticism of the state of science around climate change - basically arguing that we should reduce our confidence levels - and she got absolutely roasted. Imo this is a signifier of a religious culture.

I take your point. I don't know the case so can't comment, but am not surprised as a generality. (see my best guess next tweet)

This is almost certainly so. I tolerate earnest disagreement fine, but it would be difficult to change my mind on this (not quite as hard as w/gravity, but difficult). Last time I changed my mind on this subject was in the reverse tho (upgraded concern dramatically 10+ yrs ago)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Re changing minds/friendly argument--I had a good friend/coworker (actually worked for me but, coworker) who was VERY conservative and we were arguing environmental protection laws and he brought up "endangered dirt". I didn't believe him. Looked it up. Endangered dirt is real.

Mea culpa'd my wrongness next day but wound up defending the particular concept--it's a collection of microorganisms that looks exactly like dirt but living & has existed since dinosaur days; only exists a couple of places & how can not try to preserve such? We agreed to disagree
