When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
@jascha Scientologists don't want you to know.

@jascha
There's a conspiracy theory that's been around for as long as I know; that a cure for cancer has been found, but is being kept secret because the pharmaceutical corporations have paid off the discoverer(s).
As if someone could resist the acclaim, the historical significance and the Nobel Prize. -
@jascha that makes total sense in the real world. but you cannot overlook the fact that these motherfuckas are LARPing.

@noodlemaz Not entirely wrong there! There are both good and bad patrons of science - in one side we have government agencies, public universities, specific charities, while on the other side we have... governments, universities and charities whose funds are ultimately controlled by people with less charitable interests. It's less of a damnation of science in general, and more of a sad reality of current capitalism.
@csolisr problem of capitalism, fully agree. So many things are 😔

@jascha Which was always why I found the fake Moon landing claims so hilarious. The number of nerdy talkative scientists and engineers they'd have had to keep silent was in the thousands and yet not one came forward with evidence of the fake. Hmmmm.

@azphilosopher @jascha Most of these people believe the government is both too incompetent to be trusted with any power and also so incredibly competent at keeping an explosive and important secret. Sounds plausible!

This is how the supps cartels operate.
There's a reason the last place I worked started every meeting by warning us no information must leave the room or we'd be fired, but that it was vital for us to know, in-order to be able to squeeze the phrase 'may/can support' before every promising empty broad statement to get people to buy a $60 bottle of root dust.

@jascha At most, I've seen instances of their bosses not wanting you to know things, but those tend to also be the same people bankrolling the people saying "scientists don't want you to know"

@jascha often true, but I studied astronomy and have had professors hesitant to talk about the protests against telescopes on Hawaii and why they were actually protesting against them
(astronomers took the space using force, it was sacred to the locals, and are filling it with trash and shit)

@GutterPoetry @jascha That is a valid issue.
That is a science issue but it is a blind spot that is being addressed.
I'll give you an example.
My father was in a diabetic coma, but he had no ketones in his urine. Why? He was East Indian. The medicine around that has changed.
Not misogyny. Misogyny requires intent. Medicine has been biased toward white males. No question. But I won't say every doctor who built it hated women. That seems extreme.
Some did. Maybe many. But not all.
Science is only as unbiased as the researcher, and given that most people (even women) carry unconscious bias against women, there is little chance that this issue will be addressed so easily. The same goes for racial bias. Knowing about the problem doesn't alleviate it, huge changes must be made, studies replicated, new investigations carried out.
Misogyny can be overt or not & through direct and indirect means. Neglect of female health is misogyny & wasn't accidental.

@jascha All scientists should be heard. The kinds of scientists that maybe should NOT be heard are #Christian Scientists, #Creation Scientists, Industry-funded scientists, Astrologers, #Numerologists, Homeopathy researchers, #Conversiontherapy advocates, #FlatEarth researchers, #Antivax scientists, #Phrenologists, #Eugenicists, #SovereignCitizen legal scientists, #Cryptozoologists

@jascha I asked some researchers for a paper they wrote about sheep grazing archaeological evidence and they never responded despite a few polite followups
QED you are a big science shill

@jascha Lest they be working more for profit, than higher ethics.
I went to school with a couple of eventual billionaire lobbyists. Quite bright scientists.

@luboganev @jascha i will absolutely put it at the bottom of my list of weekend projects to do someday when I have weekends in which to do projects.

@jascha Also, "they paid off the scientists to say [something untrue]" (or to hide the truth) is another sign that the speaker doesn't know a damn thing about scientists (and probably has an axe to grind and/or some snake oil to sell you).
If they were that motivated by money, they wouldn't have gone into science in the first place. They'd have gotten an MBA or something.
@kagan @jascha As a historian of science I can state that this claim hasn’t stood up since at least the 1950s and that the introduction of NDAs into the grant process about 20 years ago has made hiding the results more common than we might expect.
The most glaring recent example being the climate scientists at Shell who never disclosed their research but most commonly it happens in medical research. -

@evan I agree... that characterization has been a bugaboo of mine.
"User" is a perfectly cromulent word.

Crosetto e Meloni da Mattarella. Per il Quirinale la crisi nel Golfo “è grave”. L'esecutivo: “Il momento più difficile degli ultimi decenni”... no, è stato il COVID e non c'era un governo di scappati da casa!
