        Have I told you lately that I love everything about you?!? Why couldn't you run for president? The world would be so much better right now. #ScienceMatters #MuellerTime

        He doesn't want or need to be the president. It would be great if he would just advise an open minded one. My new view is that experience in political office is extremely important to being successful as president.

        I was expressing my personal wishful thinking & asking the universe. He may not want or need to be president but that doesn't mean I don't want or need him to be. And yes, I'd love for him to advise but the current ruler doesn't listen to advice.

        Most social science truths are established by ignoring evolutionary biology.

        Not necessarily in history, economics or behavioural economics. Or in good political science. Laws were often made in response to evolutionary biology, or behaviours conditioned by biology, so good law is also contingent, to some degree, on evolutionary biology.

        Americans are sorely lacking in discrimination and awareness of propaganda tools and verbiage. Fascists know it well. Yes, we must ALL call it out, and become more aware of it’s debilitating influence through fear/hatred/division.pic.twitter.com/jTYzGt3oIU

        I think your explanation is backwards - it's not science that is not constant, but our explanation of the observations which may change. these changes come with better observation methods (instruments). The electric cars you love wouldn't be possible if "science" isn't constant

        Observations should be constant. You may mean the interpretation of those observations - yes, those may not be constant. People are not perfect and will sometimes see what they want. A good scientist doesn't work in an echo chamber and consults others.

        Which is why I said peer review is important. Science is a broad description of a variety of fields of study. People tend to use it to describe the one area they are interested in or upset about and that's a mistake.
