Not a lot of empiricism in any of the author's claims, leading me to believe maybe it is the author who does not understand science also.

Are you a logical positivist?

I think the claim/critique was "pro-science people primarily engage in virtue signaling, without an understanding of science."

I see it every single day.

What always happens to me is ppl become annoyed that I won't get enthused about latest single study BBC etc. are all excited about!
-
Haha what losers — as if the BBC reports science well in any way shape or form. The norm = very badly reported.
-
Also ppl even within science, between fields for example, can be very very uneducated. I know ppl w/in cog/neuro sci who think GMO = evil.
-
Tons of the points raised in the article about people extraneous to science are even true for working scientists.

I'm not sure what this article says. It's not a criticism of tactics, cause no alternatives are proposed, save maybe get house in order
-
It's a criticism of the ideology of the pro-science left, highlighting facts that actual scientists might not be aware of.
