        The Echo Chamber is a room where critical thinking & examination of ideas go to die via the barbed wire bat of confirmation bias.

        Is this not more evidence that Darwin was right? Diversity, in biology AND thought ensures species survival.

        .@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.
