#grahamhandcock — Public Fediverse posts

Sabine Hossenfelder may often be TECHNICALLY correct. But in doing so completely undoes all incredibly hard work #science communicators and advocates do. People already have serious issues trusting and understanding science and then she just supposedly airs science's dirty laundry out in front of everyone crushing that trust even further. Its already a long uphill battle and with friends like these who needs enemies.
If there is a problem in science, going to the public about it accomplishes absolutely nothing other than ensuring that all science gets defunded and #creationism gets taught in classrooms and ramping up the burning of #fossilfuels because we sure as fuck can't trust science to know or say anything true to us.
All changes in science have only occurred because science fixed in, not someone whining to the public about it. She literally sounds like any other crackpot pseudo scientist like #GrahamHandcock going "Oh the mean old scientists wont let me play with them and are bad" This is what people do when they want to sell a book or make money, not actually helping to make science better.
And here is the thing I am a scientist, a microbiologist, and I have zero ability to fact check her on literally anything she is saying and neither does the majority of the human species. She could be 100% telling the truth or lying her ass off and only a microscopic fraction of the population could discern which one it is. There is a reason why real fights in science, stay in science and most people don't know, because they don't have the decades of training needed to make any informed decision on which side is right.
She may be 100% correct, but she's literally undermining every single hard working science communicator what are already fighting a losing battle and just handing the anti-science folks live rounds they can use to mow us down. She is disappointing on the deepest level and has done so much harm to the planet and science funding that its hard not to believe shes not paid by the fossil fuel industry to stoke disbelief in science as a whole adding fuel to #climate denialism. Everything she does gets the same result, I just hope she gets paid for it or she's just being naive and stupid and killing us discipline.
