@neiltyson Does this also apply to decades of institutionalised specialisation in hard science practice and academia? -
No. People who think differently in the sciences, and are correct, become famous in their own lifetimes.

.
@neiltyson that's not what I asked. Besides, those people become famous because they are exceptions to the rule. So... Yes. It does apply. -
the thing about hard sciences is they all teach you to doubt evrythg you see, always check & accept other views

@emkun@neiltyson Hard science is replete w/ - to point of cliche - scientists publicly opining on social science, being wrong & persisting -
the behaviour of some scientists doesn't invalidate the whole scientific process, its foundation and its purpose
-
Not saying it does. I'm saying process wasn't enough to avoid institutionalisation, group-think, and systemic biases.
-
it may not, but scientist always work towards ending that instead of surrounding thmslvs of people who only agree
