      Thus speaks the person who had not bothered to research even the most basic of science history There is no true objectivity, every piece of research has some bias Deal with ithttps://twitter.com/Learn2Reid4134/status/1006993650444914689 …

      Why? Why do they have a point if that’s the case? I don’t care who you are. Scientific research is what it is. Purely and beautifully objective and without bias

      Really? Cancer research is affected by whiteness? The people that invented the transistor, biased by whiteness? Isaac Newton, Einstein, all of the great minds that contributed to hard sciences, all just biased by whiteness? I’m talking facts here, man. Fact has no color.

      How about this: find me a study - a single piece of research - that was entirely unaffected by politics or society

      Ok LOL https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/5332357/ … Shuji Nakamura, electronics engineer that made strides in the field of light emitting diodes, especially white colored ones (you like that for irony?) Japanese guys working with Americans.

      You don't think a Japanese team working with a US team of scientists to research LEDs (with many potential applications; military, commercial, scientific etc) is influenced by politics? What an odd assumption Who funded the research? Why Japan-US and not China-US? etc etc etc

          You'll literally explain away anything, huh? Of course any research is funded by somebody, that's how it gets done. This is like if I said "there's no water in the sink" and you said "oh well there are water molecules somewhere in the sink, so that means there's water"

          The LED was invented as an attempt to reproduce Archimedes Death Ray so that Japan and the USA could use it to oppress people of color
