Article on Scientific enquiry
Quote:
Science may lean to the left, but that’s no reason to give progressives who reject it a “free pass”
IF SCIENCE could vote, who would it vote for? Ask scientists, and a clear answer comes back: science leans to the left.
A 2009 survey conducted by Pew Research in the US found that 52 per cent of scientists identified themselves as liberal, and slightly more believed the scientific community as a whole leaned that way. The corresponding figures for conservatism? Just 9 per cent and 2 per cent respectively.
Certainly, some conservatives conspicuously reject those parts of science that clash with their world views - notably evolution, climate change and stem cell research. But this doesn't mean those on the left are automatically and unimpeachably pro-science. In "Lefty nonsense: When progressives wage war on reason", Alex Berezow and Hank Campbell put forward their view that unscientific causes and concerns are just as rife among progressives as conservatives. Conservatives may sometimes be blinkered by their enthusiasm for what they see as moral rectitude, but progressives can be overcome by "back to nature" sentiments on, say, food or the environment.

My first post here: While this may seem like a forum to rant, I would like it to be constructive.
A typical stance is creating a feeling of inadequacy or inferiority in the person who you are dealing with.
One way to do this is to question their credentials or identity in a passive aggressive fashion, questioning their persona online or their unwillingness to offer personal details:
"Why don't you have a profile pic? I want to know who I am talking to"
Or the more common "What is your real name? Why hide under a assumed name?".
I have had many, many experiences with these heckling questions. I think it is akin to asking "What is your phone number?" in real life... an invasion of privacy and rudeness. What do you think?
