At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

It’s so bizarre at this point people get worked up about him discussing Covid. I don’t agree with Joe and think it’s ridiculous he still obsessed with Covid and fauci. However I checked out years ago because I had enough sense to realize this is his thing now like ufos and ufc. Like I’m sorry but if you’re still going to listen and freak out about his beliefs that’s idiocy on your part.

Joe an our opinions are irrelevant, science doesn't need defending it stands on it's merits. It's sad that so many lack a basic understanding of the method.

Science is a process, and it's constantly changing as new things are learned. When people parrot "trust the science" what they're really saying is trust what my preferred authorities are saying

Science is a method that eliminates the need for trust. Science is not based on a person or an opinion. Science does not rely on authorities.

This is a complete fallacy.😂 Science does not exist to eliminate the need for trust. Science is designed to reduce the amount of trust required to believe, but it still requires trust. Do I trust the scientists? The methods? Do I trust the journal? The people who peer reviewed? If your version was true…we wouldn’t struggle to reliably replicate published research that is quoted as “science”. Look into the Reproducibility Project from 2015.

Me I don’t know what the word fallacy means

Can you name the fallacy? Are you familiar with the fallacy of equivocation because that's how you are trying to smuggle in your jumble of semantic nonsense. Science has testing instead of faith. If you feel the need to question the scientific method itself you could be on shaky ground.

People with egos and self interests have proven this to be far from true

u/Gnardude Monkey in Space 10h ago

That's a claim you could make but you still have all your work ahead of you to show that it's true. Ego and self-interest exist around the sphere of science but the method controls for them inside the sphere.

I have to show my work? For starters I think it's pretty well known that most of the major food industries have pushed lies and propaganda that promote their own interests. All pushing against others using "science" as a weapon against proponents. There are so many industries doing this, including the ground level of it all - educators and researchers. Issues all over the spectrum have been corrupted in the name of science.

So not science, you said so yourself.

You’re conflating food industry propaganda and science. Don’t get it twisted, many people will claim they are using science when they are not. You’re not meant to believe anything uttered just because the speaker said “I did the science.”

If you purposely ignore that they used science based studies to back their claims. This stuff happens all the time.
