Science is totally fucked.

Ideologically, this has been true for a long time. Anthropology, sociology, psychology are useless fields basically because of ideology alone.

But now it's not even just ideologically fucked though. It has ossified into an uncheckable cabal.

I know there are people who don't like the IDW people, but Bret Weinstein's 'we've artifically evolved lab mice to have long telomeres* making them useless for the research we use them for' story should be standard knowledge. Science, including medical science, is fucked. The replication crisis has hit medical science just as hard, or harder, than it has hit other science. Takeaway: Don't take drugs or use products until they've been used by human beings for a significant period of time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve4q-1D_Ajo

A pure pragmaticism must now be taken. Can't assume ANYTHING is safe based on 'science'. Bridges, drugs, anything. Must wait for lengthy human testing.

*making their cell-repair/reproduction extreme, and their baseline cancer rates very high, masking toxicities in drugs, underplaying the effects of radiation.

A pure pragmaticism must now be taken towards any product. Can't assume ANYTHING is safe based on 'science'. Bridges, drugs, anything. Must wait for others to test it for you.
