Separation of Science and State

[Deesse23]

People on this forum think ...

Mindreading again, Madame Bel?

These days it is funded mostly by for-profit companies and the Pentagon.

Bolding mine.

Breaking news: There is more in the world (of science) than just the US. A german company who invented a vaccine for SARS_CoV2, for example. Maybe we should have asked US evangelicals instead? Just pray the SARS away.....

Or, in your case: just masturbate it away, in your armchair, in your basement.

Scientists are very likely to discover the things that their funders want them to find. 

Nope
Question: Are you pretending or really that dense?

Many research labs are publicly funded, many, really, no $hit, imagine this. NASA for example. They didnt send a probe to Pluto to find lakes of frozen nitrogen, they happened to find them.

And quite often, as you *forgot* to mention, in public funded labs or sponsored ones, scientists make groundbreaking accidental discoveries, like the big bang afterglow.

Putting our trust in some abstract noun called "science" is a faith-based abdication of responsibility

Bullshit alert!

Dont know about you, but i put my trust in a proven method, not in a *noun*.
You of course, you dont abdict any responsibility when you are mentally masturbating, in your armchair, in your basement, doing word games, right?.

People in government should act with scientists as advisors, but make their decisions along ethical lines.

Good luck in deciding, along ethical lines of ocurse, how nuclear fusion will work in the first fusion power plant.
Oh, you never claimed that scientific facts whould be declared along ethical lines? The stop fucking strawmanning others, by insinuating, that *people on this forum* (see above) like to ignore ethics.

Stop being a pompous and condescending ass, so full of himself that one doenst know what you are more full of: shit or yourself.
Makes you look like a monumental Jerk ya know....as if we had needed further demonstration of this scientific fact, and i certainly dont mean that in an *abstract noun* kinda way. Im talking about you being a colossal jerk, a.real.fucking.thing.
