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 …

3/ > Diversity is strength... until it involves the outright denial of consensus reality I find it interesting you are not upset at people denying TRUTH, but at denying CONSENSUS.
If I assert intelligence is very heritable (true, but anti-consensus) is that good or bad?Show this thread -
4/ If I were a citizen of the Soviet Union in 1950 and denied the * consensus * scientific assertion that Lysenokism was true, would that be bad, because I'm undercutting the consensus reality?

5/ You're moving goal posts. Your initial tweet said IT enabling lots of opinions was bad because it denied consensus reality...without regard to whether the consensus is correct or not. Now you're ret-conning that to "possibility of consensus". Odd.

1/"Consensus reality" is an odd phrase in defending or praising science. There is quite a bit of diversity of outcome from the Ptolemy paradigm to the current one. Rob wants to protect the current paradigm.

Perhaps Kuhn is correct and science is a "series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions", and in those revolutions "

To be fair, the replication crisis to me is an indicator of bad or poorly practiced science (primarily, invalid or insufficient statistical measures used to test the a given hypothesis).

The validity of science should always be questioned, otherwise fields will be constructed upon unquestioned but false premises that just happened to be "proven" in some early study
