very weird defense of group think / single consensus (RTed via @greatdismal, @amendlocke )
Personally I think that more IT -> more partitioning of the consensus is a GOOD thing
Different cultures is GOOD
Exit is GOOD
Aren't we told by our betters that diversity is strength?https://twitter.com/MCSpaceCadet/status/1167130412453285888 …

Diversity is strength... until it involves the outright denial of consensus reality. Science is not diverse in its outcomes (though it must be in its process) -- that is what makes it science. Diversity of belief in science's validity causes social weakness, not strength.
