The Left's War on Science

- Many in the media say there’s a conservative war on science.
Is this true? No, says John Tierney, Contributing Editor at the Manhattan Institute’s City Journal. Tierney says “the real war on science is the one from the left.”

John Stossel points out that people on the right are more likely to believe in creationism.
Tierney answers, “creationism doesn't… affect the way science is done. I can't find examples where the right-wing stopped the progress of science… whereas you can look on the left and you see so many areas that are taboo to research.”
Gender differences, IQ trends, genetically modified foods. Tierney says the left stifled research into what could have been a second Green Revolution to feed Africa.
People who study gender difference have leaned to keep quiet, says Tierney. “You can't say that there are more men are more aggressive, more risk-taking, that status matters and making money matters more to them.”
Finally, Tierney complains that Universities are utterly dominated by leftists. In the social sciences, Democrats outnumber Republicans by at least eight to one. In some fields like sociology it's 44 to one. Students are more likely to be taught in sociology by a Marxist [25%] than by a Republican [2%].
Tierney says “once an academic department gets a majority of people who are on the left, they start hiring people like themselves, and pretty soon the whole department is that way. They start to think that their opinions and that their interests are not only the norm, but the truth.”
John Stossel says: think about that, next time you hear about a "conservative war on science".

Thanks to all of you for the likes and comments, united we stand! ✌❤
Sounds like ANTIFA...
@Ramirín Cisneros You sounds like a tyrant. Instead of denying "racists" their Freedom of Speech, try talking to them. They're humans too, you know.
@Ramirín Cisneros it doesnt hace to be good or bad yo have the right to say it, and in science if its true it has to be said, even if that means that race and intelligence has a direct relationship or any other thing
@Ramirín Cisneros science isnt racist, and I haven't said anything racist you fucking moron l2read, you're just fearmongering about what can be true afterall. With science you can prove that there is no relationship with race and intelligence, or prove that there is, if that topic wasnt that taboo we would have settled that long ago. And if its settled there wouldn't be any problems with an study about that, PC and irrational fearmongering has always limited science.
@Ramirín Cisneros hitler defended his country against an invasion(he started one but in the end he was just "defending" in the sense that he was losing the war) that doesn't mean that any country that defends itself against an invasion is an apologist of nazis
“Control the language, control the culture” this is what the Left has taught me.
Yes agreement from a the untrained by academia person that I am. I also believe if you can learn a different language to the point where you actually think in it. It changed you.
They think that yes but its not how things work
but as I learned in highschool forcing you to use nice words don't change our bias
it changes the implication of the nice words like "special"
This is why DemoRats need to be fought tooth and nail across our country

@MastersMasterson no one had to teach me I see your behavior, CNN is bias 100%, that isn't news its propaganda,
Left decided one of 3 mixed race family in town had a racist dad, ummmm you realize what racist is mayonnaise?
Of course later as LGBT, same leftist say homophobe, parrots repeat your words but really don't know what they mean
Always question who's funding a study. It makes all the difference.
A study is a study you moron. If I drop a coin 1 million times, there's still a 50% chance that I get number. So stop this childish hate against the left and start thinking like a grown up homo sapiens.
Nem kell tudnod actually if the study is funded by a person who is anti-coins-being-50-50-chance, then the scientific findings that they are, would likely not be published. I think that’s what @Blond Thought is trying to say
@@gusthomas6872 everybody knows that a coin has two sides, which means 50% chance for both sides. No need to publish this...
Nem kell tudnod it’s merely an example. there are plenty of other scientific studies that are non intuitive, in which case this model is important.
@@benceelias1849 Actually, everybody with a thinking brain knows that the difference in the relief work on a particular side of a coin would cause a weight variance between the 2 sides, therefore interrupting the "2 equal sides" belief that you are blindly spouting.
John Stossel is a hero. Plain and simple. He doesn't just say what you want to hear. Often it isn't. He just goes looking for the truth and we all benefit.
Thank you; good to know John Stossel is a name I can research for possible plot-thickeners on crises the major media assures us have well-examined causes.
John Stossel - one of the few investigative reporter left. I used to watch him on ABC with Barbara Walters but I don't watch main stream media such as ABC anymore. Main stream media are bias and not reporting factual news anymore.
How is right-wing propaganda truth?
I can't imagine being so insecure about intelligence that you go after the people researching IQ. It's ridiculous.
BTW, Trump did that too (threatened people investigating his school grades)
But Trump also has enough intelligence in other areas to delegate effectively.
@@noskalborg723 Obama did the same exact thing regarding everything personal.
@@libertyresearch-iu4fy not saying he didn't. Obama was a snake.
So is anyone preserving the sperm/eggs of super-Jews and really successful people inside their freezer and fertility clinics? People like Von Neumann, Einstein, Kim Ung-Yung that learned to read/write 5 languages when they were 4... No one doubts that hard work (and good gut bacteria) is important in life, but me and many people can do better if we had good genes. Do you think the top 1% is trying to a keep a monopoly on good genes so they don't have competition? If I had verified good sperm I'd marry a nice Southeast Asian lady and use that to give birth to kids that would teach me things when they are 7. Maybe I could also write a book about my experiences.
Are you aware that this may seriously lead to a world where 1) discrimination because of one's origin might be more common (because of "everybody knows there is science behind this"), 2) not to mention those prejudices itself aren't really nice and 3) as it was pointed out, the social gaps would be incredible.
And do we really need to know that truth? If we consider these risks?
Dear John Stossel; Please do not get old. We need you more now then ever.
Right, he’s the last journalist in America
@@samactor20is sure can feel like he’s the last one doing challenges and critical thinking.
💯
@@OmeedNOuhadi challenges yes but critical thinking maybe not so much. This dude had obvious biases and Stossel rarely called him out on them. 😢
@@richardjaffe9972 Maybe the guy had a .357 in his back pocket. The thing about Stossel, is, his content hasn't really changed, and there are some things I feel he is wrong about.
The people who believe in 84 genders want to tell us about science.
And they also believe there is a scientific basis for homosexuality, that GMOs are unhealthy, that life doesn't begin at conception, and that vaccines cause autism.
Worse. Left fascists want to dictate what science is. They want to punish those who favor evidence over their authority.
@@hotwax9376 you know that half of that shit is actually true?
Yeah, GMOs can be an amazing thing, and I don't like the general hate for it
BUT: There's scientific evidence that's homosexuality has a predisposition that occurs genetically.
Also yes, life does begin at conceptions. Actually it begins before conception, as even the sperm cells are, by scientific definition, alive.
However, it's nothing less than perfect irony that especially people like you are advocating for organisms without a brain to be recognized as human beings...
@run teldat yeah I know, but that's not the GMO parts, that's the pesticide part. Same with antibiotics in meat, they just pump it full so no cow gets sick. How it effects the people eating it is not really part of the profit margin.
That's my big problem with libertarianism. Corporations will fuck you over as soon as they get the chance to (if it's profitable for them), so we need something to keep them in check.
I'm all for capitalism, but as with sports, you need a referee for when the other team isn't playing fairly. And that referee is a properly democratically elected and balanced state (not like in the US)

@@darylhoskins919 You're providing an example of your own prejudices and comic book history. Gallileo was an arrogant man, more a magician than a scientist, and did not suffer for his ego-inflated pursuit of what were mostly falsehoods.
Sociology is a soft science; it has never been softer.
Free Cat it’s hilarious cus some physics people don’t even consider biology a science
I wanted to study the difference between the brain of Conservatives and the brain of a Liberals but I had to give up since Liberals dont have any brains.
I wish we could use maple or algebra software in our math classes. I like how there is no room for BS in math, but at the same time people hate that to do math you have to do everything by hand when a computer could automate a lot of the boring stuff.
I thought it was an absolute joke when I took it in college. Very little if any empirical data backing anything. It’s why they like Post Modern. Nothing whatsoever in Post Modernism is backed by facts. It’s actually ideologically opposed to empirical facts.
@@williampennjr.4448 There is evidence to suggest liberals have stunted brain function
Keep going John! Level headed discussion always win over.
It’s been a long, long while since there has been anything level-headed about anything from the ‘right’. (Omission of capitalisation is quite deliberate!). You only have to look at the constant re-Inforcement of the never-ending stream of the lies from the Trump Whitehouse!
@@sandysutherland2182 What never ending stream? Trump did brag like a child on Twitter. He was definitely rude. But everything he said that the liberal elites didn't like was classified as false. When he said "Russia didn't make me win the election" That was classified as false. But was proven true.
I'll bet most of what Trump said is actually just things that no one on the left wants to believe, but it actually true
@@diamondrg3556 The man himself is a controversial figure, but his policies as a president I have little disagreements on. He speaks with bravado and punctuation, with boldness like no other president elect I've seen in some time. He's very much a hard-hitting voice in politics, likely due to his past as a celebrity of sorts.
It's no wonder to me why the Liberal elites wanted him gone. And it seems they got what they wanted. Their philosophy is to fight hate speech with suppression and unjust assumptions. It's only a matter of time before Trump comes again on social media, though; at least, that's what I want to believe. We'll see in time, however.
No politician likes science until their lobbyist tells them to do so.
First they need to ask corporate jesus in office to see if they need to bend over or not..
While I was obtaining my education, in the early undergrad day's I was continuously bombarded by leftist professors from sociology to speech that the United States was so unfair to everybody but white males. I had a speech professor that spewed so much leftist dribble that even though I was averaging a B+ average in my studies, mind you I was playing the game, I finally could not take it any more and challenged the professor during one of her dribble sessions and that was it from that point on I could see her hatred for my point of view that it made for a really interesting semester. Thankfully, once I was finished with my undergraduate work and actually entered into grad school and started work in my major molecular biology it seemed to be night and day, although I still ran into liberals here and there for the most part the professors and students were more on the conservative side. It's my personal opinion that if a university want's public funds that they should show that their professorship shows a healthy array of political opinions so that the student's get exposed to many different political views because look around what we're seeing today is what happens when your exposed to only one viewpoint. It's sick.
Most actual science fields are driven by centrists and more conservative leaning people.
You're more right than ever! We should have information diets that are varied and complex.
This BS is happening globally!
To help round out your education: an apostrophe shows a possessive nature when it's not used in a contraction. Plural words end with 'S' but have no apostrophe. Straighten this out, and you'll be writing like an A- student.
Sorry... also, the word you were looking for was 'drivel'. Correction: I looked it up, and you were correct as well. I am sorry for this. HA! Like I said at the beginning 🙂
84 Genders? And I am called a Science Denier? 🤔
What I wonder is how long that madness will continue. I don't have any problem with the trans community but basic biology has never changed.
@Tucson Jim - You're a nutjob and citing other nutjobs doesn't help your argument.
The gender thing is valid. Gender is subjective and there is a spectrum from seeing yourself as a straight male or female to whatever, you see, it's subjective. Your biological sex is generally binary with humans being either male or female. But there is still a grey area even in biology however rare it may be.
It seems there is a schism between left and right ideologies and in a sense, both are correct but what each side holds as absolute truth is not so absolute.
What the real arguments are between left and right, despite both sides being confused about "sex vs. gender" are more normative and how they deal with gender issues. For instance, the left would say that the trans woman (gender identity is woman, but sex is male) should not be allowed to play in woman's sports. I believe the right is correct to say that "her" biology would give "her" an unfair advantage in strength as males are generally physically stronger than females. But, the left would be correct that trans or homosexuals should not be forced to conform to the right's notion of identity matching exactly with binary sex of male or female. This is because it is actually the case that science shows that homosexuality and your perceptions are based in biology as is easily shown in nature that homosexuality isn't only a human phenomenon.
@Lagarto Verde About even what?
@Lagarto Verde Which part?
If you really want to offend the piss out of someone, do it by being completely honest with them.
jediknight38 True. That's why I have no friends.
And fact based. The left goes apoplectic when confronted by facts that challenge their world view.
Yes...nothing hurts greater than the truth. That is why we have participation trophy's. But still everyone knows there is ONLY one 1ST place.
That's all I do I don't care if people like me or not. I will always speak the truth and nobody can debate me on the truth. You have to remember a lie but the truth never changes. I won't associate myself with people that lie.
Then you're a sociopath. Lol.
I saw the Left pushing out conservatives from Academia all throughout the 80's and 90's. Once they got into a position of power, they did not show the "tolerance" to the conservative professors and teachers that they demanded from them (constantly in order to get into the position of power in the first place). This speaker is absolutely correct. Much of our current Academia is now in a dogmatic stupor, from which I don't know if we'll ever be able to recover. In truth, massive lies are being spread through our current Universities in the name of "science". It's a terrible thing to witness.
Tolerance to the left means you must tolerate them, but they must destroy you.
Best thing to do is stay away from it. Used to be, home schooling was for the religious zealots. They were ahead of the curve. Now we all should be doing it.
I started university in the late 70s, and it was in progress than, but more obviously in the student radicals than the faculty. The student radicals ranted about "tolerance" and "freedom of speech" while violently oposing contrary opinions.
I guess that what has happened is that the student radicals of the 60's and 70s became the faculty of the 80s and 90s, and never grew up.
@@stephenhosking7384 That is good information thank you. It's good to hear from someone that might be a bit older than me as well, and can explain more fully what happened. That makes sense, the young radicals back then were allowed to "overthrow" the more sensible adults back then. But then I ask, why did the administrators and professors back then allow that to happen? Why let some young kids with terrible ideas displace you? I don't know.
@@222ableVelo Thanks, and I'm glad that my memory from the 1970s has been helpful!
As to why the radicals were allowed to overthrow the more sensible adults, I have tried to think about your question, and admit I don't know.
I do recall that many of the older (and usually *male*) academics had an open dislike for the radicals and all the changes they tried to push through, which usually involved more power to students. Their attitude was "Learn your stuff, and do well in your exams the old way, then maybe you can protest".
There's a very credible theory that the revolution was deliberate and planned. It goes back to the 1920s, with Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, "Cultural Marxism" and "The Long March through the Institutions".
I see a couple of promising videos about "The long march through the institutions" in UA-cam.
Liberals: Haha look at those Conservatives denying climate change they don't like science!
Also Liberals: Biology is a joke there are 582 genders and counting not just two who said that!
More like
Liberals: Biology is what I say it is!
Not liberals. More like the Democrats or the left.
Biology identifies 6 sexes, it's just that 2 are most common. Additionally, gender is a spectrum.
@Rick Gonzalez, wow mask off.
Gender is not sex, and biology doesn't state that there's just 2 sexes..
OMG, this is actually being discussed. I'm impressed. Berkeley was a socialist indoctrination center when I went there 12 years ago. I couldn't imagine what it's like today.

yea, but there's lot of anti-nuketards on the right as well
sly dankass if you’re against nuclear and want to reduce emissions then you should support natural gas or methane. It releases far far less pollutants into the atmosphere than coal, and it’s actually reliable enough to power the grid.
Peg Leg probably. The funny thing about natural gas is that fracking accidentally reduced emissions far more than any green plan. Right now gas is taking over coal which is why it’s not doing too well right now.
@@thepope2412 how does fracking reduce emissions? Just off the top of my head, i would imagine that the extra work that goes into it takes more energy (probably fossil fuels) to function
@@elchape7799 Fracking allowed for previously unobtainable natural gas to be mined. Natural gas has half the co2 emissions as coal and it doesn't release as much pollutants in general. Coal isn't just coal, it has a lot of impurities. Natural gas less so.

@@patroscher6240 Yes, and logical sense would tell you that what does happen naturally can be accelerated. If certain molecules in the ozone are what causes climate change then surely adding more of those chemicals will increase climate change. It really takes some mental gymnastics to not see this.
From a liberatarian republican.
I remember before college i worked in a call centre. I met women who had been on the phone 10, 15, 20 years. I asked them why they weren't supervisors, managers or trainers if they had been there so long. The majority would answer, "I don't want to do that, it's too much pressure." Prejudice in the workplace is BS, they chose to remain stagnant. There is no hidden patriarchy keeping them down.
Meanwhile, men in their 40s and 50s who want to stop the corporate climb, which is killing them, can't stop because their wife won't let them and her expences keep rising.
Yes, I've seen that also
Gotta love a "study" that determines prejudice by how much someone is unwilling to sign onto your ideology. Jesus Christ we live in ignorant times.
He knows. He was even quoted as saying, "My people perish for lack of understanding."
It’s even sadder that these kinds of researchers are considered “scientists”
It's basically a religion, and not the good parts of religion either.
Seriously
Show some respect, fool!
Here’s another fun fact: just because you are conservative, it does not necessarily mean that you believe in God.
but most conservative believe in the good values which come from christianity
Even though you should
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Peg Leg If you deny that religious people tend to have a stronger moral foundation, you're on the same level as the science deniers. You've rejected reality.
I’m a living example of this statement.

Yep. It's got to have serious consequences when the zealots who claim they know the "science" are in control - as they are now.
I just had to comment on this cause as a former liberal (but one that has always supported the Constitution, including the second amendment) I used to buy into that whole "right wing hates science" thing too, glad I finally saw through their dishonesty and lunacy.
The right dislikes science too, look at Climate change denial.
Sweet Genius You have swallowed the left’s ideology hook, line and sinker. The majority of it is a load of cow dung. Progressives are very well versed in lies and deception. Every time a spot light is focused on leftists they hide under a rock then change the movement’s name and shuffle the leaders. When they crawl back out they continue their war against everything decent and noble. Satan is the father of lies. Lucifer’s most useful fabrication was to convince humankind that neither God nor he exists. You can choose your path, but you do not get to choose the outcome.
_The right dislikes science too, look at Climate change denial._
For the love of god and all that is holy. NOBODY denies that the climate is changing. What we all take umbridge with is the idea that the climate is changing because of man-made fossil fuels when all of the data is corrupted and the models don't allow for change. ALL of the data surrounding climate change has been tempered with in some way. people who support it do so because government gives them grants for doing it. and denies grants for disagreeing. it's a horrible problem. The sciences get bullied for money does that seem at all safe?
Heres the actual truth.
NOBODY knows what the fuck is going on. Climate is unpredictable Climate has always been unpredictable thats why every model says something different (but catastrophic) but NOTHING has changed. man cannot make Life-lasting" changes to it unless somebody decides to set off a super-volcano with a nuke or something.
Why the hell would anybody take the shit these clowns say seriously? for over 40 years now they've been promising disaster and none has come. the sea level has remained the *exact same* They feel just fucking dandy setting up offices on the water in places like NYC and they preach that the oceans are rising and it's too late. it's been too late for 10 years now. They said the ice sheet was gettingthinner........then it got thicker. Now theres more ice there than before. FRemember when they said we'd be hit by hurricanes nonstop back in 2006? there was an 8 year drought of Hurricanes in the US. We only got hit by superstorms which are bad, but they're not hurricanes. The data for these storms is all over the place and it will continue to be all over the place.
Don't get any of us wrong. I'm just fine with effective green energies I don't think we should pee in our pool like China and India. I think we should encourage green energies that actually make a difference. There are many policies that DON'T make a difference or make something worse. Like how they wanted to ban plastic strrws and replace them with..... paper straws (trees). Or how everyone wants solar panels but theyre made with rare earth metals. or how everyone says to recycle but the industries around it have created enough polution to nullify the point of recycling?
......But that doesnt mean government should step in step on all of our rights and scare people with this shitty hysteria. The video in link [2] is from 2017, 2 years before AOC and her green new deal. this woman seriously purposed to replace Planes with Trains, and to rebuild every house in the US in 10 years *THE WORLD GONNA END IN 12 YEARSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! DONT HAVE CHILDREN, BUT WE NEED OPEN BORDERS TO 3RD WORLDERS WITH NO SENSE OF ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIVILITY TO REPLACE THE US WORKERS*! Cause that makes sense.

Also there are left-wing anti-vaxxers too. In fact most people I've spoken to refer to them as hippies. Your mileage may vary. The science behind the effectiveness of Vaccines does vary so I think healthy skepticism of the things you put in your body is OK. I certainly don't think the government should penalize you for refusing to inject something into your body. And giving the government that power is very dangerous. This is where the issues lie. if you wanna vaccinate yourt kid. Do it. But don't walk around demanding other people be forced into doing something they don't want to do. And your lopsided justification of "health risk" is something that goes back centuries in human history and tends to lead to some of the *worst* oppression mankind has ever faced.
_"you missed the biggest conspiracy of all: religion."_
This is short-sighted. Depending on how a philosopher interprets it, all God really is is the absolute Truth (With a capital T) The Truth comes in many names and faces but it is fundamentally "the truth" many athiests believe science is "the truth" the big 3 believe _He That Which he is_
A cynnical or nihilistic worldview would say that religion is formed for power's sake. What I've discovered is even when there isn't an organized religion people will build a very similar philosophy regardless. THAT would be in my eyes the Stoa (Stoics) Christianity takes a lot from stoic philosophy. Eastern Philosophy is that but flipped on it's head. The reason is, without a "Truth" to guide oneself toward you're inviting in depression and unhealthy habbits that which are detrimental to a functioning society. and you're losing purpose. Place a responsibility that ascends the self (talk of lineage for instance, inheritance, Truth etc) into the mix and you have a productive society. Productive ideologies build productive societies. Good religion strikes a balance between individual choice, and duty.
We live in a rather nihilistic society nowadays..... our birth rates and productivity have declined. IKIK correlation =/ causation. Still the idea that religion is fundamentally a conspiracy (in a negative fashion) is a strawman. Religion like any powerful thing can certainly be misused. people can create them without the purest of intentions (Mohamed created a religion of War or L. Ron Hubbard or _those dirty sophists)_ but that is not what religion is.
I'm not particularly religious I'm certainly not a christian. but I am a spiritualist because world philosophy is AWESOME.
Sweet Genius You made extraordinary claims regarding climate change. Yet, the history of the world shows that the climate has changed drastically over time. The difference today is that left wing lunatics want to use it as a vehicle for political power.
How old are you child? I was not born yesterday. Your insults and intimidation tactics do not work on me.
Anyway, It takes a whole lot more faith to believe life evolved without direction from a lifeless universe. Science has yet to demonstrated that.
One thing about conservatives that probably leads to people painting them as anti--science is that they tend to question it more. Questioning science is literally a fundamental part of science.
So true. Wish Stossel had questioned his guest more about his beliefs on science. 😢
Except you retards don't question science, you deny scientific facts.
I like how Stossel makes you challenge your beliefs. Pretty good clip here!
That's why I'm subscribed to Stossel. I may not agree with everything he says, but I like being challenged. And he did make valid points.
Me too. I disagree 100% that DDT is safe (polio symptoms morw than cancer actually) and GMOs being unhealthy we aewnt getting long term studies on this because Monsanto has a too cozy relationship with FDA and EPA with the revolving door of lucrative hiring for FDA/USDA/EPA etc officials amd scientists. And their unfair patent requirements bankrupted poor farmers in India. They also don't expise the extreme uptake in water needed to grow GMOs and glyphosate does have cancer links and is polluting even ground water now.
Anyone shutting diwj discussion and study in anything or claiming science is "settled" on anything are the anti-science population. Sadly that's on both sides of the imaginary isle.
I totally agree with you. He does make some valid points about the left supressing certain research, but i think its delusional to say creationism doesnt effect science. It denies basic facts in favor of ideology.

to say that sociology professors are mostly democrat makes sense. sociology is all about how society is to blame for personal problems/setbacks, which is why I hated it so much.

"The left is far more religious" - More religgious than "Marshall Harrison - Guitarist"? Maybe you're mistaking me for a simple mind sorting all people into only two boxes and making a simple stab at all the people in one of those two boxes. Although not defined by themselves as religious I like to call them religious too, at least the most extreme of them.

True that. Leftists are wrongly called liberals.
The classically high standard for a Stossel video. Thanks, man!
Being open-minded is anti-science now.
The word 'liberal' has been hijacked.
Litigious Society Science doesn't care how open-minded you are if you're wrong. Do you not understand that science is pretty objective and has nothing to do with how you feel? Do you not understand that it's not about "open-mindness", but that there are indeed correct & incorrect answers when it comes to answers and that doesn't change no matter how you choose to interpret the facts?
hevquip Science is often about discovering counterexamples, and refining and rejecting "established" theories. Being close-minded means being unwilling to accept that one is wrong, and science has no room egotistical views.
Leftists increasingly are closing debate on topics. That is a problem in academia.

No, it's the fact that nobody likes to fail, both the left and right refuse to work with each other since Trump took office and these videos and discussions still misses the point entirely on how we should provide a consistent worldview, we should be compromising, not bicker and yet here we are where LITERALLY EVERYTHING gets turned into a political argument, since when has science have anything to do with politics, it's clear that science is objective and we have to be open minded regardless of politics, it's public knowledge that politics stays in politics, not the other fucking way around.

Isach Newton was extremly religious, and he is one the worlds most briliant minds ever in human history.
Everyone intelligent was religious back then, religion was the strongest explanation available for the mysteries of the universe. Since then, science has offered many contenders for religious explanations of life and the universe, and most scientists no longer see religion as the strongest explanation.
It's kinda like how the doctors of 400 years ago weren't stupid, they were likely just as intelligent and hard-working as doctors today, but leeches and Mercury and humor-balancing were what they had to work with, it was the best understanding of medicine their time had to offer. Had they gone to medical school today, their outlook would be very, very different.
Very smart people do not believe in a higher power, they know it.
@@gabrielfraser2109 Isaac Newton lived in a society where questioning certain aspects of religion could lead to losing your job, being ostracized, and even being killed.

Isaac Newton was from a time period where almost everyone was religious and even though it was part way through the enlightenment period, the church still had authority.

Nice anecdotal evidence
@@OvertheHIL524 That's not anecdotal evidence. Their statement was stated as fact and only needs one example to the contrary to prove it wrong. In fact their statement is based on anecdotal evidence because they're making a blanket statement about millions of people based on their personal limited exposure to conservatives.
@@ironman2326 what exactly do you think I was describing as anecdotal evidence? And do you actually know the definition? The statement "most doctors I know are conservative" is what I was referring to and absolutely is anecdotal as it's based on personal experience.
I have noticed a disturbing trend in college aged men and women. Many, not all, seem to place more value on how they FEEL about an issue then on the FACTS surrounding an issue. What are schools and young parents teaching their children? Is it possible that all the technology we are bombarded with is negatively impacting our ability to reason?
John 👏 great work!
War produces the most cutting-edge science.....War, war ever changes.
No, it doesn't. It puts accumulated scientific knowledge into, mostly, making stuff explode in new ways.
A recent example of the left's war on science, John Hopkins wanted to do research on the effects of sex change operations on individuals to determine if they were beneficial or harmful in the long run but were afraid of the extreme backlash by LGBT extremists if the results weren't in line with activist narrative.
While you right wing-morons exaggerate how many people are having sex changes are claiming children are getting them on a regular basis, or like Trump says, at school. How is trying to protect their own rights make the LGBT extremists?

The catholic church was the biggest contributor to science in the entire history of humanity.
- Who invented the universities?
- Who keep and copied books before the printing press was invented?
- What inspired Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Einstein?
Have anyone even read and UNDERSTOOD what Nietzsche meant by "the death of God"? He clearly stated that the church and its pursuit of truth was the responsible for the birth of science!
*was. The modern church and modern religion reject science for the most part. They rely on blind belief and not evidence
@@dylancross1039 Not true
the first two are barely science. they're just platforms where scientific ideas are discussed and spread. they're not scientific endeavor and methodologies themselves. universities are also where liberal arts and the humanities thrive. would you call those science? stop connecting dots that barely have the links
ever heard of the Golden Age of Islam? do you think the Mid. Est is scientifically driven now too?
@Studd Muffin that wasn't the point that i was trying to argue. it was an example but im sure i could think of another example but since that concerns you so much, here's a couple of them folks who were of said religion: Al-Khawarizmi (the father of algebra) & Avicenna
(the father of early modern medicine) who's a devout.
there is a substantial number of names that contributed during said Golden Age, that if anything is a propaganda, it's that the idea that none of them were Mslims. (see Occam's Razor). some would call that historical revisionism. i have no problem compartmentalizing the idea of religiosity and scientific brilliance. our actions don't always reflect our beliefs. that's the ironic property about human behavior. some would call it hypocritical. but you have to be pretty naive to think just because it's paradoxical, that people don't still do it anyhow.
it'd be pretty one-dimensional thinking to think that someone must be an atheist to do great science. we know that's not true from history. likewise, it's quite one-dimensional to think that you need to be religious to be able to make scientific discoveries. maybe in the modern world and/or in the life science field, the former would be true. but there are great engineers who are anti-evolutionists. that's not such a difficult concept to reconcile. heck, we even have a neurosurgeon who was a director of pediatric neurosurgery who is the first and only surgeon who successfully separated a conjoined head who is a Young Earth Creationist!
Holy shit the mad man actually cited the bell curve, and you idiots fucking agree with it holy shit. This is why no one takes you seriously as a political group. Your full of easily falsified nonsense and full on racist at times. DDT does cause cancer, the left never campaigned against GMOs, they endorsed them. You eat up anything that's said to you by a person who says things in a calm and persuasive manner with no evidence or development on any point.

Almost 14 years ago, I moved to the United States as a legal immigrant. I was 100% politically neutral (no leaning to any side) therefore had zero bias when assessing the two sides.

People complain about GMOs yet nearly all our food is genetically modified through human selection. They just hate that we now use technology to do it more accurately.
"but GMOs are proven to be harmful" Lots of technologies are a double edged sword, electricity used to be much more harmful but now everyone pretty much accepts it into their life. It is really foolish to judge a technology based on example of its application.
Besides we all know you are talking about Monsanto, who controls the agricultural seed market, including heirloom strands. They more than anyone to lose because of the existence of GMO, in the future people sitting in their kitchen will be able to do it on a hobby budget. They will face an ever increasing amount of competition into their control of the market. Funny how they are the ones making the technology look bad huh?
Monsanto doesn't control Jack. There are thousands of seed producers worldwide, including the big players Monsanto, DuPont-Pioneer, Syngenta, Vilmorin, Winfield, KWS, Dow, and many more.
*Patents end.*
The patent on glyphosate expired about 20 years ago, with most now being generic brands manufactured in China.
Gen 1 biotech soy is now off patent and farmers are free to choose that, or any of the thousands of different non-Monsanto crops available worldwide.
Monsanto enjoys a ~25% global market share because their products have a positive ROI that appeals to many farmers, so those farmers voluntarily buy from Monsanto.

@@sand747 Can you please point out exactly where in my entire statement I "attacked" anyone, or even said it was their choice? Show me where I made such a claim. I believe there are plenty of people who are truly unhappy in their own skin. They truly believe they should have been born the opposite sex, and if having a sex change, or whatever it is they feel they need, makes them whole and helps them live a happy life, then more power to them. HOWEVER, that doesn't change the scientific fact that no matter what they do to themselves, they will never be able to change the actual gender to which they were born. I'll be patiently waiting for you to point out exactly where in my original comment that I "attacked" someone. Best of luck with that.
@@pumpkinheadghoul you're implying that trans people are the gender they were born as, which is just not true. You're laughing at them for identifying as a different gender.

@@jesuschrist2612 Liberalism in general, not like liberal or conservative.

@@cryptospin2060 Freedom to dissent and explore. That kind of liberalism.
Though your theory that "liberalism always wins in the end" is logically unsustainable. We need some kinds of boundaries. Moral, political, physical, and more. Otherwise you're advocating for pure anarchy in the end. That's the logical end of pure liberalism.

Anyone who thinks GMOs are automatically bad should never eat a banana again, at least not one of the ones that humans eat
Why?
@@johnp139 Because Banana's are not so easily eaten if grown in the wild. The ones we eat have been selectively bred, and modified through various cultivation techniques to eliminates the large seeds that grow inside the meat of the banana, and preserve it's nutrition and sweet flavor. These methods also leave them largely sterile.
While this probably isn't what most people imagine when they think of a "Genetically Modified Organism", as the term usually conjures up images of mad scientists cackling over a lab bench, with mutant monster vegetables milling around, but never the less it is an organic food item that wouldn't exist were it not for human meddling.
OMG Stossel I have to applaud you you dug up the ONE person who would fall into your hole of biases
HAHAHAHAHA
The left is making a war on science because recycling doesn't work?!?!?
HAHAHAHAHA
The real problem is both sides seem to ignore science. The liberals do seem to ignore good social research that undercut there equality of outcomes ideals. On the other hand conservatives do ignore stuff too. You mentioned stem cells perhaps a lot of stem cell treatments we banned by both administrations. So John if you got something like Parkinson's or wanted to combat aging you'd have to travel to Mexico to have the most effective treatments.
Stem cell research wasnt banned at all, educate yourself. Federal funding of embryonic stemm cell research was. And Mexico hasnt done jack shit in treatment of anything. You are seriously misinformed. The best stem cell research has come from adult stem cell harvesting.
Is it really just the left against GMOs?
elfoxy No.
My family’s conservative and my mom convinced us that GMOs were bad by making us watch a bunch of documentaries on Netflix. A lot of anti-GMO stuff is bullshit. Very similar to the whole anti-vaccine thing.
Libertarians and other people on the right don't believe in baning things like GMOs or trans-fats, they believe that people should make those choices themselves at the store. The left and liberals are the ones that want things banned altogether, or they want it heavily regulated, such as forcing food service of manufacturers to provide vegan options, even if the place is steakhouse.
It's why libertarians would be fine with a student voluntarily doing a report on a book of their choosing, such as Huckleberry Finn or the Book of Job,, but leftists would want kids to be forced to read the Communist Manifesto or the Qur'an.
It's just the loony left that's taking to the streets with their stupid signs and dumb slogan chanting. Stop trying to deflect.
Finn Maccool Pro-life people rarely do it, but more often than not they are very peaceful about it. For example, there is a pro-life march in my town every year, and they just walk fairly quietly down the main street near the Planned Parenthood with signs for drivers to see. Some people will honk in support, and someone might walk along them and ask questions, but shouting is not encouraged. Peaceful protests or informative protests are more common on the right.

Both sides just close there ears when they hear things they don't like it ain't that complicated lmao.
It’s great being a physics major because any time a leftist humanities major (and almost all of the extreme leftists are in the humanities) tries to lecture me about science, I can easily talk circles around them.
You're lucky if you can get as far as talking circles around them. In my experience, they usually just fly in to a rage after losing the polite polite first round of a discussion (when they are asked "what evidence do you have for that"), and they can see that they are about to lose the next round. Suddenly your *morality* is the main issue, and it comes down to what all "good" and "intelligent" people believe, and how dare you question it.
@@stephenhosking7384 Hit the nail on the head.
Both sides have science deniers lol. The farther you go on either side the more uninformed you tend to be.
Usually, that is the case. Well, it is almost with few exceptions the case. However, I think going beyond liberal and conservative(sort of like going beyond black and white statements) is ideal.
