RE: Steemfest - A skeptics' view - The dangers of GROUPTHINK etc
Sure, but science works by consensus. That some disagree doesn't invalidate the broader consensus. And sciences is in no way religious. It's the antithesis of religion.
In my opinion for some science has become the new religion. And it has its heretics. I like the heretics. Like Rupert sheldrake and Tom Campbell.
I am a huge fan of Sheldrake, and been following his heretical stuff on morphogenetics for years. When he wrote about the delusion of scientists, I realised he was absolutely correct....science has become the new inquisition. My little girl has never had any vaccinations at all, and I will always defend our right to choose. When someone takes that away, telling me its heretical I want to come out fighting.
Honest answer is, I don't know whether I'm right or wrong on this issue, but I'd rather trust natures plan than one made in a laboratory for profit. So from that point of view it's right for ME and my (now separated) wife.
Danny, your ballsy approach is refreshing. It's been great to connect with you via the promo-steem group we are both part of. I've been talking a lot with some of our mutual friends recently about the problems with the Steemit platform, and I for one feel that the way to deal with it is to shout out our truth. Not everyones truth is the same. And we're in the wild west. I don't particularly want to get shot down for saying it. This platform should be able to deal with dissent, because that's how we grow as a community.
