why? retraction isnt going to change anything - those people are finding “truth” in a 412 year old book of (largely) fiction.

systemglitch ,

Curious, what book is that?

tallwookie ,

KIng James Bible, published in 1611

Oof, good one

Remember when Exxon admitted their own scientists found evidence of humans causing climate change back in the 80’s, but were silenced because money? Then Exxon was like “yeah, we fucked up. This is a big problem”.

And yet, there’s still a lot of people that deny that the earth getting hotter has anything to do with humans putting shit in the atmosphere.

Why is our species so goddamn stupid? I fucking hate us. We suck.

Misanthropy is climate action denial, inappropriate for the challenges climate change creates, because it blames those who emit nothing and those who emit all equally.

chuckleslord ,

We’re super smart apes who weren’t ready for the society we made. Climate change requires an ability to make changes for something that you might never have to deal with the consequences about, which we’re not designed for.

tallwookie ,

part of the problem is that we just dont evolve fast enough.

Will it stop them citing it? Will it fuck.

Because you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

That's the effect which is destroying humanity's ability to survive. Remember when that line gave Adam Savage the cool quirky nerdy spin we all admired in a benign and endearing way? Oh, fun times

Too bad it won’t help.

Morons still cite the study about links between vaccine and autism despite the guy saying he cherry picked data, got his title revoked and banned from the industry.

Norgur ,

It will become the very reason they cite this paper. They'll just make martyrs out of those liers.

Yes, because of course that just makes him "righter". People love a good story of oppression; the fact that Wakefield is only oppressed by Consequences from his massively stupid, lethal bullshit is apparently less interesting. "They don't want you to know X" is like crack to suckers.

Probably gonna turn out the same here: the study will magically turn out to not be "flawed" - it's just Too Correct so the Woke Censor Monster is going to Ban it because it Hates Freedom, or whatever. Climate deniers, antivaxers etc., their whole thing is bullshitting. This won't make them reasonable, but less wrong info is still good, I guess.

common issue in history.

protocols of zion is talked a lot as proof of the world jewish control conspiracy. it was written as imperial russia propaganda. hitler even referenced it.

what’s that saying? a lie gets halfway across the world before truth can even tie it’s shoes

turtlepower ,

Because we’re all still just a bunch of superstitious, dumb-fuck monkeys killing each other over pieces of the ground.

slazer2au ,

killing each other over pieces of the ground.

Imaginary friends.

turtlepower ,

That, too!
