        The most frequently spoken words upon making a scientific discovery are not “A Ha!” or “Eureka!,” but “Huh, that’s odd…”

        Politicians are creatures who generally have at least a few whopper lies in their past and hope to use more in the future to gain popularity; for this reason they are fundamentally opposed to quests for truth.

        Delaying policy response to real problems allows those who profit from the status quo to continue profiting as long as possible; the costs of this inaction are seen as being imposed on others (even when imposed upon all).

        I very much agree with the sentiment. Members of scientific circles have access to papers and studies that prove/disprove certain hypotheses. For many they are locked behind expensive journal subscriptions limiting the ability of people to inform themselves.

        I wonder if the first step is to democratize access and help make the content more accessible to literate citizens.

        Otherwise, you have citizens having to implicitly trust certain individuals, whether scientists or politicians. Politicians tend to be more persuasive and certainly more power.

        In my next election I hope to be able to say “citation please” to candidates to back up their claims.

        One of the strange rebuttals I have heard when it comes to climate change is: I don’t want people to make a lot of money from enforcing new policies/restrictions/taxes on ppl only to find out that the human involvement in climate change is negligible. It is fear based thinking.

        Love this - but I like your "most astounding fact" about the universe video better - as an elementary school science teacher I combine it with the book Older than the Stars to start my solar system units - inspires and engages to the point of dropped jaws
