Perhaps. But if they are anti-science then why are they happy to drive cars, live in heated houses, avail themselves of clean water systems, healthcare and medicines, fly on planes, have any electric appliances in their houses etc?
You cannot pick and choose or blame science for the way that some idiotic world leaders have misused it.
The fact is that most of the people posting here would be dead by now if it wasn’t for science. Those still alive would likely be under 30 and living extremely hard lives and certainly wouldn’t be posting anything on a chat forum because no such thing would exist.
The only solution to the problems with the damage to the Earth’s biodiversity and climate and humanity’s remaining problems of poverty and suffering (already vastly improved by science) is more science.
I’d like to hear what the anti-science people propose as the alternative solution.
Bear in mind that if we abandon all scientific inventions or use of fuel then there will not be enough arable land on Earth to feed the current global population and at least half of people globally will starve to death very quickly. There will be even more pollution because there will be no sewage filtration. People in colder countries will die of cold and people in hotter countries will die from the heat. Food obviously cannot be shipped around because that involves fuel and engines and boats and planes and technology. People will have no medical care so a small cut to your hand or leg may mean you die from an infection. No vaccinations so viruses will spread like wildfire killing hundreds of millions.
It’s idiotic for these people to be posting on the internet using computers and electricity sanctimoniously telling us all that science is bad while they live their cosy lives with central heating and ovens and washing machines and cars and medicines and vaccinations etc.
Mind-bogglingly stupid to blame “science” for some world leaders doing stupid things. The answer is to stop letting stupid people run countries. That’s not an argument for abolishing scientific progress.
How many of these posters would survive a two weeks living off-grid without the creature comforts that science affords to them?
