As we come into 2020, I am now pretty sure I picked the wrong career. If I had known what computers were going to become, I probably wouldn't have wanted to be a programmer. It is definitely no longer a career for people who take pride in their work.

Depends on the discipline. Nutrition "research" isn't good science IMO, but for example vaccine research, climate research, quantum physics, genetics, and cosmology have been incredibly good overall. To blame the "scientific community" is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Again, not the citizens' fault. They don't know the difference. If you want to blame people for not trusting science, they would need a way to tell the difference between science that was real and "science" that wasn't. And that is _very_ difficult.

Still, I don't blame the scientific community for this state of affairs. I blame marketing firms, our faltering underfunded education system, and more recently soc media for amplifying BS and blurring the line between it and fact.
