The Ownership of Science
RE: The Ownership of Science
As I understand it, asserting an hypothesis is free and open to anyone and as far as I can tell, many people exorcise this freedom regardless of whether they know what they are talking about. Those who don't often get quite offended when their "ideas" are not taken seriously. Anti-vaxxers are a good example. 100% pseudo-science and nonsense based, but they behave as if their ideas are backed by extremely strong science. It's an open society and that's a good and bad thing.
Why is it so?
