Pseudoscience and anti-science types inevitably find themselves - TopicsExpress



          

Pseudoscience and anti-science types inevitably find themselves unable to defend their positions against reason and evidence. When that happens, they will often resort to underhanded tactics to silence their critics. Ive seen it dozens of times over the years; irrational people defending irrational beliefs will do amazingly shitty things. Theyre doing it to chemist Yvette Guinevere (AKA The Science Babe) right now. Unable to refute her excellent debunkings of Food Woo and other types of pseudoscience, her opponents have launched a campaign to have her Facebook page marked as unsafe content. Petty and unethical? Absolutely. But also possibly effective, since Facebook is terrible about adjudicating these matters fairly. If you enjoy and appreciate science, if you believe reason and evidence should prevail over rumor and fear, then do me a favor: Take a minute to visit and Like Science Babes page. And if you get the unsafe content warning when you do, take another minute to tell Facebook that the page is not unsafe. Do it for science! #savesciencebabe #science #skepticism
