I think that in 2017 our role must change we won't have the luxury to focus only on science we are required to leave our laboratories, faculties and became GUARDIANS guardians or our beautiful free western civilization populism is rising, post-truth is taking the place of truth we need to have an ACTIVE ROLE, to interact with the masses, teaching them critical thinking the only way to do not fall in the traps that populists, racists, bigots prepared for our countries they appeal to fear, they take benefit of widespread ignorance (that's why they are against schools) Gentlemen, a battle has begun.. and if we won't do anything.. in 5 or 10 years they'll storm our laboratories, burning books America changed (for worse) but not everything is lost, we will change too this is like the opposite french revolution, bigots are trying to take power we will stop them
in 2017 science MUST be linked with GOOD politics, we don't have the luxury to remain neutral anymore we can't be irresponsible these are exceptional time, don't forget this
Brody Anderson
I don't care. Populism is good. Fuck you. I want candidates who are 100% accountable for the people.
In 2016 we had to major populists: Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. None of them are really that bad because they are completely accountable to the people. I wish Bernie had won though.
>we need to have an ACTIVE ROLE, to interact with the masses
Lol I haven't talked to a non-mathematician outside of my job, family and gf in like 3 years. You want me to change that? Kek, fuck you. I see them as disgusting pigs.
>America changed (for worse)
No it didn't. You know why? Because the alternative was Hillary fucking Clinton.
If she runs again against Donald Trump in the next election I don't give a shit. I am voting for Donald Again. Democrats should know that we liberals are BERNIE OR NOTHING. Fuck your bullshit.
>in 2017 science MUST be linked with GOOD politics
I think good politics is keeping Hillary out of the presidency. So we are doing good politics right now.
William Miller

Lucas Perez
>>conservatives are autistics and secretely hate America
I don't care if you bash conservatives. Fuck them for all I care. But I'm a liberal, faggot. If you want me to support your shitty "xD le science politikz" movement then you better put Bernie Sanders are the democratic candidate. Else I don't give a shit I may vote third party or if I really want so spite you again then I'll vote directly republican.
Blake Carter
>2-the entire west is turning populist and right wing It could have turned populist left wing if you had only put Bernie Sanders in the ballot.
Christian Adams
Fuck off. The global balance of power hasnt changed since early 1900s and looking at trumps cabinet choices its not going to change now.
And no, science should not be linked with any politics and actually all connections to any political institutions should be eradicated... which unfortunately is not going to happen since the school system has been modified to systematically brainwash people.
Dominic Wood
>the entire west is turning populist Oh no , I want the (capitalist) elite to keep being privileged at the expense of the people.

Also, science is already too political.
Just go.

Do you even know what faggot means here, you fucking retard? You are clearly some reddit fag. Get the fuck out.
Jackson Rogers
populist is the opposite of elitist in case you didn't know. An elitist government will care for it's elite first. A populist government will care for it's people first. Even Trump enemies admit he's a populist, it's not even open for debate.
Jackson Sanders
piss off fascist
Jacob Harris

Aiden Powell
>all scientist must be left-wing cus they smart Kill yourself. >and if we won't do anything.. in 5 or 10 years they'll storm our laboratories, burning books I really hope you don't actually believe this, or else you're actually retarded Also one of the things I like about studying science is not having to deal with politics that much, and I really don't give a fuck about it
Blake Hill
>conservaturds >gets angry when called libtard
Nathaniel Long
There we go, the instant strawman.
I recommend you to read Charlotte Thomson Iserbyts "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America". She is basically a whistleblower who served as the Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first term of U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
The book deals only with verifiable facts and explains very well the exact changes and distinct factors that brought those changes.
Lucas Rodriguez
I'm as far right as you can get, but the idea of science becoming a target for politics is disgusting. Shame on you op for wanting to bring politics into the sacred field of science. Also, just admit you are anti white.
Jacob Hill

Donald Trump is not Hitler The Republicans are not Nazis Nobody is storming our labs or burning our books
A guy you don't like was elected into office, it is not the end of the fucking world and it's certainly not the death of science
Calm your fucking tits.
Carson Perez
It's quite the opposite. I refuse to believe change can't be made. All the people in the world have the ability to change the course of history. Anyone can be the next Lincoln or Copernicus. Fuck fear and fuck those who would suppress us. History is not on a set course. History is made every day
Alexander Ross
Maybe you should open a dictionary if you don't believe me, and try to get information by yourself instead of listening to your fake news libtard media.
Lucas Cox
Hey I agree.

Leo Collins
You racist old conservatives believe that your "god" will offer you retribution for your actions. Your ideologies are similar to those seen in the nazi's and your misogynistic and sexist actions have made you into a mindless sheep.
MUH PATRIARCHY!!1! (the sad part is that liberals actually talk like this)

Mason Adams
not forgetting "fascist"
their lack of self awareness is astounding. when you alienate people for disagreeing with you in a very moderate and reasonable way (e.g. that person thinks secure borders are necessary, or thinks common core is flawed, thinks the ACA should be repealed and replaced by a single-payer scheme, thinks uncontrolled and nonselective immigration is a harmful thing, or thinks his nation's culture and ethnicity is worth keeping as it is) -- when you disown them, abuse them, harass them, assault them, and threaten these moderate and reasonable people -- then the only refuge is with the only people who will accept them: fascists.
all i want is peace, common sense, and prosperity. i will vote for whoever appears to stand the best chance of giving that to the population at large. if politics eventually becomes so entangled in identity politics and radicalism, such that the only person offering a return to the aforementioned things is a fascist, then so be it.

No. I browse both boards.
Gabriel Martin
Science needs to be linked to good government but also to emotional and social needs over needless tech-toys of distraction.
By all means, stuff the senseless, ignorant masses with nutritious food (vegetables) so their bodies produce endorphins to sate them, calm them and heal what is obviously their seriously damaged, undernourished brains. It is the only hope for the masses to not die practically as ignorant as the day they were born.

I support your cause. I think scientists should take a more active role in broadcasting critical thinking and how to judge scientific evidence. Trump wouldn't be able to get away with shit like calling climate change a hoax, or implying that vaccines cause autism.
Joseph Hill

I am involved in a General Machine Intelligence project, a world first here in Europe, as usual.
Our work is estimated to be at least 15yrs ahead of anything being done in the usa and elsewhere.
Why would I be interested in your folks "running the world", when what we're currently building will own it?
You're only flesh. Why do your petty concerns matter? Remind me.

I'm not OP, but you'd have to be retarded not to see that rampant anti-fact politics is becoming a problem in Europe too. Breitbart is expanding to Europe, and anti-science rhetorics will follow.
Mason Reyes
Despite claiming to be all scientific and rational and shit, Veeky Forums is actually full of reactionary little twats who cry 'the sky is falling' whenever something happens that they disagree with or which inconveniences them.
