Are scientists the new priests?
One of those is not like the others. It's always funny to me that people keep inventing new and more convoluted apocalypses even though we are already going through one. Like, is that not enough to worry about?
>>824080Humans tend to hyper focus on potential threats due to evolution programming us that way. And I wouldnt blame academia over schizos exaggerating potential threats.
"scientists" are not saying most of this shit, holy fuck people here are so fucking retarded
how often have online leftists declared the imminent end of capitalism/empire/the global economy/the liberal world order?
Implying that scientists are a monolith
>>824085Yes they do, why are they given fund then?
>>824092The institution behind them is.
>>824080>science is when laymen and the media exaggerate or outright lie about the discoveries of science to fuel a panic-stoking agendais this what chuds actually believe? If they try to read a research paper with a title like "The Roles of Ubiquitin-Binding Protein Shuttles in the Degradative Fate of Ubiquitinated Proteins in the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System and Autophagy [1]" and their brain just begins leaking out of their ear, but then they turn on FOX news and it says "libtard science cucks say god dont real and earth blow up tomorrow" and they just start quivering with red hot anger and shaking their fist to the sky and chanting "stupid science bitches can't even make I more smarter"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30634694/ >>824101Show me where "scientists" said AIDS was gonna kill humanity in ten years. Not an individual from a no-name hick university, not a hysterical lib journalist editorializing a paper they didn't understand, show me a real representative of the scientific community saying this.
>>824106libtard science cucks say god dont real and earth blow up tomorrow. fox news said so. stupid science bitches cant even prove crazy thing they say. grrrrr
>>824111I got the default monolith ending in stalker 1 because i moved too fast and then i was too lazy to do another playthrough
>>824106easy
>"Research studies now project that one in five—listen to me, hard to believe—one in five heterosexuals could be dead from AIDS at the end of the next three years. That’s by 1990."-Oprah Winfrey
>>824120great trolling, almost got me
>>824105Listen I'm an engineering student myself, and I'm actually working on a hopefully Q1 paper. I'm just teasing you doomers
the funny thing is climate change has consistently outpaced "pessimistic" estimates for 30 years
>Carl Sagan, who was also the co-author of the first few nuclear winter papers along with Richard P. Turco, John W. Birks, Alan Robock and Paul Crutzen together collectively stated that they expected catastrophic nuclear winter-like effects with continental sized impacts of "sub-freezing" temperatures as a result if the Iraqis went through with their threats of igniting 300 to 500 pressurized oil wells and they burned for a few months.
here is another piece of pop science, this time about Kuwaiti oil fires
>>824125and did they actually do that, anon?
>ater when Operation Desert Storm had begun, S. Fred Singer and Carl Sagan discussed the possible environmental impacts of the Kuwaiti petroleum fires on the ABC News program Nightline. Sagan again argued that some of the effects of the smoke could be similar to the effects of a nuclear winter, with smoke lofting into the stratosphere, a region of the atmosphere beginning around 43,000 feet (13,000 m) above sea level at Kuwait,[38] resulting in global effects and that he believed the net effects would be very similar to the explosion of the Indonesian volcano Tambora in 1815, which resulted in the year 1816 being known as the Year Without a Summer. He reported on initial modeling estimates that forecast impacts extending to south Asia, and perhaps to the northern hemisphere as well.
>>824126Obviosuly no, soyentists mispredicted yet again
>>824125>pop-sci book for popular consoomption by money grubbing individual>>824120>media figure saying "scientists are saying"well that does it. science is finished. I for one will never trust peer reviewed research again. idealism won, materialism lost.
>>824126Oh you're talking about the oil wells? Yes Iraqis blowed up every single oil well in Kuwait if I remember and tens of billions of barrels of oil burnt for months
>>824128confusing the statement
>if x does y, z will happenwith the statement
>x will do y, there is no doubt >>824130>if I remember idk, do you?
>>824132soyence is finished. i trust only in gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawd now
you know what science cucks also believe in? evolution. but real chads know the earth was create by yahweh 6000 years ago
>>824135I'm not a Christian albeit
>>824138what is your proposed alternative to the scientific method other than making threads on imageboards
>>824120anyone still engaging with op after this just has a fetish for being angry
>Appealing to MAGA and christcucks
You guys take your roots from Christianity, more specifically evangelism. You just replaced religion apocalypse with a scientific or even economical one.
>>824141>>824143Detaching science from its christian roots
scientists failed to account for the will of the human spirit(i lied they did we're fucked)
but lowkey trvke
