      Well, perhaps it would be better not to undermine too much the labour of some popular advocates of science, particularly in the world of irrationality we live in. Having said that, we cannot afford weakening reasoning and Philosophical tactics either.

      If these are our ‘science advocates’ I think we are in trouble. Both in science and outside.

      Yes, we are in deep trouble indeed, but there is another problem, in my view, how our message would be read by some audiences: "science is wrong".

      Then scientists need to do better educating the public. I do not want people to think that “science” justifies ideas like this:https://twitter.com/s_saeen/status/962422591641341952 …

      It's so refreshing to watch Russell Brand destroy Sam Harris' absurd notions of "inherent superiority of Western culture & values" which has contributed to the deaths & suffering of millions of people during the past 5 centuries & continues to do so. pic.twitter.com/LykfBov1Hd

      I think it's a subtle but really important problem. First of all, the main pop scientists are not scientists. And the scientists who do really good sci comm aren't sadly the ones on television. So the people representing "us" are not actually scientists (any more or never were).

          The famous scientists in the media are simply not representative of scientists and aren't actually even doing science (any more). So what happens is they have a very superficial, even though still more than a non-sci of course, understanding of theory and hypothesis testing.

          Agreed. But we—scientists—have a responsibility IMO to call out scientism if we see it and educate the public, if not directly ourselves then in collaboration with science communicators.

          I was merely responding to @twitemp1 tweets that I may be harming public view of science by calling out scientism (or so I understood it). That’s all.

          I did not say that Iris. Anyway, if the audience is not the general public, then by all means, let's call out these bastards. I have no problem with that.

          Both of you are correct. Views like "scientists are stuck in an ivory tower with no understanding of how "real" people live" is really damaging to science funding and science generally and it is patently false.

          But just to clarify, there are people within science who are totally out of touch. There are patterns that are disturbing, like the same groups winning prizes over and over. There are people paid millions where 99% are paid thousands.
