"Science" has been corrupted by corporate greed. Same as every other system we have.
Some science has been corrupted by corporate greed.. Well.. that isn't exactly accurate.. The science isn't corrupted as much as the various PR campaigns based on "selective science" is. The oil companies anti-climate change propaganda is an excellent example.. Before that, we saw corporate corruption of data regarding acid rain and the ozone problem, and back in the 70's, corporate corruption of the tobacco link with cancer, and again with DDT.
Yes, it most certainly happens.
One look at the pandemic response validates this observation. We are being deceived, censored, propagandized and robbed in so many different ways it is difficult to understand what the end game is.
The pandemic response? You mean like politicians claiming "Its a democrat hoax".. "we have it under control",... "its going to go away on its own" ??? Or are you referring to the science that was used to develop a vaccine and predict societal behaviors? I'm not clear on this.. but I think we can both agree the pandemic came, science responded, and the pandemic is now gone.. Kind of hard to argue with that success.
But as this thread has shown, as long as they keep us divided and fighting amongst ourselves, those who are pushing the world in a specific direction will continue with very little resistance (or even awareness) from the general population.
Keep playing into their hand, and their agenda becomes reality.
We have several types of divisions in our nation. We have a social division where one side claims freedom of expression and another side says such expression is offensive.. One could argue all day about that and make point and counter point over and over without a clear winner.
We have another type of division in our nation, this one is in regards to science.. The difference between the social division and the science division is that it doesn't matter how offensive or inconvenient you find science, 2+2 will always equal 4. An iron atom will always have more mass than a carbon atom and a carbon atom will always have more mass than a hydrogen atom. Regardless of one's beliefs, those facts will never change.
So the division doesn't come down to facts or corruption, it comes down to one's understanding of science.. You either understand science and you know the difference between an ionic bond and covalent bond, or the difference between a proton and a neutron, or one doesn't understand basic scientific subjects. And when they want division on science, they simply pick out the gullible morons and push social issues at them. "Follow the money".. "they want to control you".. "they want to enslave you".. And the reason they use these social angles is because the morons they're trying to manipulate don't understand the science...
Talk to one of these idiots about the functional mechanism of how a wave length of light interacts with a molecule at specific frequencies, and the moron's eyes glaze over and they go back to social issues. Throw in an Al Gore, a Bill Gates, and top it off with a comment about Soros, and the idiot is fully primed with stupidity. Its a pretty simple formula..
We can't fix stupid.. but sometimes we can ignore it.
