    Yep. Particularly cute are people Tweeting and writing about this phenomenon in a shocked manner, as though they discovered a frightening new phenomenon.https://twitter.com/ENirenberg/status/1331244962290266113 …

    It's kind of cute to see people think that the denial of science and unqualified contempt for any kind of intellectual authority brought to the forefront of the pandemic is a new phenomenon

        Replying to @gorskon

        The fact science denialism exists isn’t shocking. The fact it’s been so easily accepted by so many simply because of their political views is a bit shocking to me. I never thought a major political party could be a death cult but yeah, here we are.

        Replying to @KurtAubuchonStL

        Sure. Science denialism is bipartisan, but right here, right now, in 2020 the right and @GOP engage in denialism so much more than the left. Indeed, antivax is now by far right wing, which didn’t use to be the case (although it’s a myth that it was ever overwhelmingly left wing).

        Anti-intellectualism in American Life is a book by Richard Hofstadter published in 1963 that won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction.

        Replying to @gorskon

        We all learn things for the first time that change our world view. When it happens we get a rush of dopamine that can be seen externally as pupil dilation and a tweet. It is interesting that we often don’t like to see this in others unless we cause it.

        It depends. For instance, I don’t like it when newbies lecture or pontificate as though I haven’t been doing this for 20 years.

        Science denial happening for-forever. It’s a Google search or book away from understanding. 2020: “OMG! People don’t care about a pandemic! I am shaking with shock! Never has anything like this happened before!”.
