        Post-sanity (not post-truth; not postmodern) science: "a sentient being can jump, "within a minute" (of his experienced time) arbitrarily far in the future, say sixty million years ahead, and see, and be part of, what (will) happen then on Earth." http://www.bourbaphy.fr/damourtemps.pdf

        Is there somewhere you can read without having to subscribe to a newspaper?

        Science can be defined as dishonest religion. Religious miracles are mystical by definition. Scientific miracles are "the product of reason".

        There is no war on science, but there are scientists who are second hand car salesmen manque

        Yep. Maybe it’s a non-sequitur but if social scientists thought conservatism was saner than Marxism then more regular right leaning people would trust climate scientists. The reputational lines blur.

        I'd get a pair of glasses Steven if your aim is that bad! Good work piercing the bottle though 👍

        There are even problems within the so-called hard sciences, too, as we notice with climate change, where actual credentialed dissenters are called "deniers," and are politically denied funding. Credentialed dissenters should always be funded, in case they are right.
