This but unironically, Scientist worship is cringe and bluepilled, I know a lot of people in Academia, especially from back when I was studying to be an Evolutionary Biologist, and get this, and this is serious.
EVERY. SINGLE. FIELD.
Has been infiltrated and corrupted.
Archaeology, Biology, History, Paleontology, Astronomy, Astrobiology, Every Medical Field, I could go on and on.
Now this is not to say that there isn't real science and studies being done, it's just I doubt many people can differentiate between what is real, and what is bullshit. I painstakingly have read tons of studies, and data, as a hobby, definitely much more so when I was in Uni, but I still do so now, I would say easily, that over 50% of data and studies, typically is bullshit, and I doubt people read studies or data as autistically as I do, so why do you worship and blindly believe what comes out of (((Academia)))? Why do you appeal to the authority of people with a piece of paper that "qualifies" them? Some of the best people I know who are, Engineers, Programmers, and Biologists, and many people in or who are interested in these various fields don't have a degree, and don't plan on getting one.
