/pol/'s increasing presence

Why is /pol/ migrating to this board? You already have your homeboard, why not fight for it instead of tainting Veeky Forums and bringing the shills and redditors here? Your only hurting other boards with your increased presence so why not do the denizens of this board a solid and keep politics out of the scientific board.

Because it's the only board that poses a genuine threat.

A threat to what?

disinformation and propaganda

Anyone who isnt an idiot knows what is happening, and knows that there's no point in complaining.

The fact that Veeky Forums actually has genuinely intelligent people posting on it will serve to be enough of a defense against the stupidity of /pol/.

Every now and then some idiot comes in and posts some shit about how global warming isnt real and gets shot to shit, it's pretty funny honestly.

I'd like to believe that, but what do you think happens when you put a genius in a sea of idiots? Does the genius adapt? Or does it drown?

Judging by what I've seen the past few weeks, we're already being drowned out. Whoever has the loudest voice typically controls the flow of discourse from my experience.

Perhaps someone here can tell me whether or not men are naturally stronger than women? I've always held this to be true but some stupid shit is happening at my university where this dude is getting called out for saying women are genetically inferior to men. What he's actually said is that men are better able to acquire more strength, which I've had explained to me and agree with although I've done no reading of my own on it. When I google this I get huffpo and odyssey articles '14 BADASS facts about women's strength' and it just kind of looks like a circle jerk.

If i can fuck off back to Veeky Forums lemme know.

Honestly, I'm just a /pol/ack who also enjoys posting on Veeky Forums.

I try to keep the /pol/ stuff out of Veeky Forums, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

This isnt society, there are no social pressures here to conform to.

It idiots want to be isiots they can be, the actual quality discussion on Veeky Forums will always be here. People here talk about legitimate science shit, you can tell the threads when you see them, and if some idiot comes in screaming "global warming isnt real nigger jews 9/11" they will be either ignored, or converse with people who arent involved with the quality discussion to begin with.

Because nothing makes pseuds feel smart like thinking their retarded ideas are "scientific" and the easiest way to do that is to post them on a science board.

It's because of Bill Nye's sex junk and social marxist propaganda trying to invade Science.

Of course they are, men have 10 times more testosterone than women on average.

Because you're a shilling retard from the match against trump discord who's posting threads like these everywhere. Fuck off, this is not a board for political discussion.

They need validation.

Just ignore the threads? Lol like wtf don't open them

because pol's population is growing fast and bringing in new members at a rate that makes old /b/ look like an add in the back of a porno magazine

there's always going to be spillover with newfriends

just my guess

/pol/ is trying to kick out T_D and they're spreading everywhere else, they don't know what they started when they tried to get their cheeto-god elected

It cant possibly be that scientists or people interested in science have right wing views, or that open scientific discussion is considered a right wing activity these days? No... No. Must be those nazi bogeymen again...

Yeah man pol really brings in a lot intellectually stimulating discussions.

We are the only board on this entire website that can easily shoot down all the bullshit that /pol/ spews as we see in the daily threads related to global warming race or whatever else. They would love if this board did not exist. We are knowledgeable and intelligent and they don't like that.

They do, was a good thread yesterday about the various functions of the prefrontal cortex and its direct correlation to predisposition to violent crime. Otherwise we have "ai when" threads non stop and meme drive posting.

Cherry pick all you want.

> shoot down race
Yet every racial differences thread ends with a pol win. Im not even pol but you see Veeky Forums get mad, then beaten, then leave.

Well thats pretty much the only /pol/ input i see, other than bill nye shit. Global warming/flat earth threads have been here for years, longer than /pol/'s big explosion.

>It cant possibly be that scientists or people interested in science have right wing views
Generally, no they don't.

Literally never happens. Veeky Forums gets bored beating a dead horse and leaves.

It's not /pol/ you stupid dildo. It's CTR and Crew (people paid to shill here). Some of us just have a strong and outspoken opinion. Make that ALL of us

In my experience they do. Reality has a right wing bias.

good thing life isn't dependent on your experience

go look up any statistic about political leanings in science

Probably because universities spend more time propogating left wing social ideology than they do actual subject material. My medical degree had about 4 hours every week of pure left wing political indoctrination, the only lectures that were mandatory to attend at that. Only made me and a few other doctors i know right wing where before we were indifferent.

posting debunked data from richard lynn, rushton and unknown bloggers over and over again is not winning anything

even on the topic of race, you guys are completely retarded

not to mention global warming

daily

OH NO AFRICANS WILL STOP DYING TO RANDOM DISEASES AND DEVELOP THEIR CONTINENT WITH EDUCATION.
OH NO HOW DO WE STOP THEM

That is a genuine matter of interest for anyone cognizant of global warming. If we're to discuss man-made climate change, it would behoove us to take into account the industrialization of a continent well on its way to exceeding its Malthusian ceiling. Your attempts to blacklist that discussion are a confession of willful ignorance.

> lynn
> debunked
Keep hearing that but oddly the only argument being "iq tests arent cross culturally valid!"

They'll develop sustainably from the ground up so they won't contribute to global warming that fast. Africans provably believe in climate change unlike Americans.
The only ones consuming resources and contributing to global warming at the speed of light is America and other climate change deniers.

You're full of shit.

>My medical degree had about 4 hours every week of pure left wing political indoctrination
What do you define as "left wing political indoctrination"?

Why are you telling me this? There's a perfectly good thread full of interested parties at the destination of your link. See how the topic generates discussion? And here you were thinking it was just an excuse for people to say the N word. You must feel like a fool to realize that was a projection of your deep-seated racism.

Lectures on how unfair social distribution of wealth and housing is responsible for most disease, lectures on """health equality""", migrant health, social structures causing diabetes, obesity and smoking and how people dont have enough money to look after themselves. Then we even had an entire aids week in which every single fictional case study was a straight white male. There was one even worse seminar series but i cant remember the details seen as after an opening lecture just being some old lesbian having a go at bankers for half an hour i elected to not pay any more attention again.

I'm going to assume you're
If anyone here is guilty of low-brow demeanor it's you. If you can't reply to that man without profanity then you have no dignity. Tell him how he's wrong, expand on what he's saying, or stick to what you know.

Not at all, and i can guarantee if it was that bad for my degree in 2010 it will be worse now and for other subjects. I bet every uni lecture opens and closes with a "drumpf" joke now.

I should add we had a mechanism to monitor course attendance and sporadic lectures would be registered, however almost no systems or pathophysiology would ever be registered, it was always the "public" health ones. You had to attend those, whereas learning to be a good doctor was optional.

First off, let's not try to pretend that Veeky Forums was ever less than 75% crap. Gorilla thread, religion thread, gorilla thread, space thread, race bait thread, gorilla thread, math homework thread, etc.
Second, the lefties are invading your science, that's observable with Shill Nye the your kids are gay guy. You're going to need /pol/, odious as they may be. It's not like you don't already spend your life filtering out idiots and their opinions.
Third, . We've been on the news a bunch. Did you see the French news spot a day or two ago with the quick rundown picture and the skinny french girl OC pasta? Shit was cash, almost as good as pepe on Hillary's website.

The shit's hilarious, just run with it.

>I wanna be a doctor but I don't want to learn about the socioeconomic factors of disease
As I suspected, it's not so "political indoctrination," it's just stuff you don't want to hear/care about. Sounds like these public health lectures weren't actually graded except based on attendance either. I'll let the rest of Veeky Forums tear you apart.

>Reality has a right wing bias.
It really doesn't. Reality is based on consistency and logic. Conspiracy theories and butthurt don't really gel with that.

No they were disproportionately in examination in the first two years too. Nor do i not care about social circumstances, i worked a year in substance abuse - however i take a realistic view of it and social circumstances do not explain many things nor are they an excuse and most of all it is not the place of medicine to try bring down the health of the wealthy. I dont care about immigrantion promotion nor language services etc. None of it is relevant to medicine, it is pure social engineering and im far from the only doctor who resents it.

Logic and open investigation absolutely dont gel with left wing approaches.

I used to actively post on /pol/ and just lurk Veeky Forums. Don't post much on Veeky Forums but I stopped going to /pol/ altogether now. It's become a dogmatic hugbox over the last two years and any dissent, regardless of how logical it is, gets you labeled a shill or whatever the fuck shareblue is. I am neither a Jew nor did I vote for Hillary, but apparently not believing certain blatant lies or criticizing irresponsible actions means I'm both. I like that Veeky Forums shuts down irrational arguements without having to resort to memes outside of "brainlet" here and there.

>Logic and open investigation
Lol is this nigga serious

I think he's talking about lefties ignoring facts if they don't align with their narrative. The simple fact is, we're not all equal, nor are cultures or lifestyles. You should be invested in this, as science and research can't flourish in certain social environments. Like Africa, for example.

I just like telling anyone to go back to /pol/ if they say anything remotely right wing, because it upsets them

Find your sin.

Exactly, the modern left is made up of same mental archetype as the worst witch burning christians.

>retard conservatives think any of these are the left
Just because /pol/ screams "muh libshits" at anything they don't like doesn't make it true

Scientists tend to left leaning politically because of the way they get their money. There are so many middlemen between their work and its application and subsequent profit that what they get tends to resemble gibs. They need to get paid regardless of results, so they can continue their work to get results. More welfare type programs are good for scientists, who need to eat too.

I'm sorry but the politicians pushing this agenda are leftist, their supporters are leftist, ergo this is the left.

the argument is lynn is a fraud that cherry picked studies

he excluded studies not based on whether they were representative, but whether the result fit his paradigm

>I think he's talking about lefties ignoring facts if they don't align with their narrative
You're a fucking retard. BOTH sides do this, and it's far more egregious of the right, since science typically runs afoul the conservative agenda on many different fronts.

Really not true, the left is bound to try force a way of the world that is contrary to reality and would put a stop to progress and investigation.

>The simple fact is, we're not all equal, nor are cultures or lifestyles.
This is not a "leftist" idea. "All men are created equal" is one of the core concepts on which the United States---where most of the world's scientific research is conducted---was founded. You may disagree with it, but it's not a political issue here.

Prove it. Back up your claim with solid evidence. This is not /pol/.

I think you're mistaking a profit-based agenda for a conservative one. Oil men don't want to acknowledge global warming. Oil men have been backing the elephant side for a while. The gender bullshit is an actual conservative point, they seek a return to the nuclear family that created the social stability that helped us get to the moon. How many trannies walked on the moon? Almost none, I bet.

What they meant was all white men. Remember that whole three fifths thing?

equal rights are bad, you see, because there are small race differences here and there(on average lol), we need to focus on race, race, race - the individual does not matter

ignore the fact that simple poor people can have very smart kids which should be given the opportunity to excel
a news story from this week
this kid would never get his degrees if /pol/ had their way

That kid would face the tribunal and be admitted as an honorary hwiteu mannu, provided he engaged in no niggotry or faggotry. He would have the blondest of the judges' daughters to choose as his wife, to most quickly blanche the swarthy remnants of his shameful ancestry.

Again, it's not political indoctrination, it's just a reality that you don't care about/want to deal with. It's entirely appropriate for something that has a large impact on health to be a part of a healthcare curriculum. If you have some studies that show that socioeconomic conditions are irrelevant to a person's health status, I'm sure we'd all love to see them.

Now, if your school was telling you "to try bring down the health of the wealthy" then you should definitely report them to someone since that's a clear violation of the Hippocratic oath. But it sounds more like simple raving fueled by your political persecution complex, so I don't expect you to do anything.

>All men are created equal
all men are created equal is pretty different from all men are equal or the cultural relativistic crap all cultures and lifestyles are equal. i'm pretty confident they weren't cultural relativists.

>I think you're mistaking a profit-based agenda for a conservative one.
Then you don't know what the word "conservative" means. But extending beyond that, the broader right wing falls for these obvious scams hook, line, and sinker, to the point where they believe that there is a giant science conspiracy to... force communism on people or something.
>The gender bullshit is an actual conservative point
First of all, the gender bullshit is only of relevance to social scientists. Second of all, the most prominent transwoman in the world is a registered Republican and was invited to the Trump inauguration.

You gave no evidence, strange double standards you moron.. Im not even /pol/

No, it is a leftist idea that all people SHOULD be equal. Its an american idea that all people have same equal rights as a person, what they achieve with that is on them.

Because /pol/ has the highest IQ of all boards. Stay fucking jelly you leftist fuck

This is what happens when you don't study science

No its indoctrination because it isnt backed up by research and nor evident in practice. Every day i see ill people who have only and entirely themselves to blame. No rubbish about an obsegenic environment.

Nor is the hippocratic oath still in effect, do some basic research. A limited fund organisation works on targeted harm and benefit and thank god ive gone private because the system is designed at every step to disadvantage the well off. Lets not forget the great time the med school let the labour medics society (left wing) take over the year yearly ball and give politicised speeches complaining about our government. Of course they sold no tickets the next two years

You want evidence that this is not /pol/? Or would you like evidence that the Right denies science when it doesn't fit their worldview? Either way, there is ample proof.

...

No i dont want any, hence not asking seen as we can both find plenty of instances of individuals preventing research. Although, a tweet, sort yourself out. The left establishes a post modernist, anti-enlightment world view in which reason is secondary to subjectivity and man's ability to exert himself in the world is derided and shamed. The left has always done as much, when they called themselves the church or beyond when holding onto tribalism, their hatred of the individual, his rights, property and potential has always impeded.

>men are naturally stronger than women?
Nobody disputes that.
>this dude is getting called out for saying women are genetically inferior to men.
See, that's something completely different, and makes you an asshole.

>Blacked thread
>Cuckold thread
>Is racemixing wrong?
>Nigger hate thread
>Potato nigger hate thread

i've seen more mentally stimulating discussions on /tv/

Yeah, not who you're arguing with but ive heard plenty of people argue women are just as strong, its just different activities that result in the difference. Very bizarre.

Summed up today and tomorrow's Veeky Forums for you

>R: 7▶
Would a penis stay hard if it were severed by a lightsaber?

not really it'd be more like
>is global warming a scam?
>if the earth isn't flat then why...
>scientific evidence for white genocide

The flat earth troll threads have been around for years and before any "pol invasion", want to ask me how i know you're a newfag?

>No its indoctrination because it isnt backed up by research and nor evident in practice.
Typing "socioeconomic factors in disease" into google scholar gets almost 2 million papers. I won't pretend to understand the contents---my field is EE---but browsing the titles, it seems there's a lot of papers linking socioeconomic status to heart disease. Maybe you could tell me why they're bullshit, instead of giving me some anecdotal crap about what you "see every day."

And any medical school in the US requires grads to take some form of Hippocratic oath. I don't know what sort of diploma mill you went to------
>labour
Oh. You're not from the States, are you? I was wondering how someone so dense could become a doctor.

I never once said diseases cant have strong social causes, inexpressed some of those we are taught do not/not to the extent taught or some lectures were beyond that, although i dont expect a leftist to ever do any more than try slime through an argument to save face. I guess if you have no real response we're done.

That tweet was made by the most powerful man in the world, issued into office by embodying right wing fervor. I invite you to show me a "leftist" example of politically motivated science denial that is of remotely comparable magnitude.

>The left establishes a post modernist, anti-enlightment world view in which reason is secondary to subjectivity and man's ability to exert himself in the world is derided and shamed. The left has always done as much, when they called themselves the church or beyond when holding onto tribalism, their hatred of the individual, his rights, property and potential has always impeded.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? I guess you can make up any incoherent conspiracy theory if you shun evidence.

Dont know whos arguing what here but no-one swears the hippocratic oath or has done for a long, long timr. It has insane parts like saying doctors cant perform kidney stone operations. There are governing medical bodies who have codes of conduct and ethics totally distinct to the old oath. It really annoys me when shit tv gives people the idea its still around.

This is the board, of all boards on Veeky Forums concerning real world shit (because why would there be profitable about video games or movies), in which there is the most understanding of what is propaganda and what is real.

This. Almost everyone I know in medical is fucked in the head

Trump is hardly the emodiment of the right, he's highly for protectionism, opaque governance, surveillance and censorship. He's a bush/obama carry on.

As for your latter point, ill give you time to try reading, you can do it.

Not him but will we ever get a president who's not though?

Not remotely coherent to what i said, I think you're likely a moron though. Not swearing the oath makes them smart, it was only appropriate at the time.

I did a (history) degree and studied galen and hippocrates a fair amount, the oath made sense at the time.

>I never once said diseases cant have strong social causes,
Really? What was this statement in reference to then:
>No its indoctrination because it isnt backed up by research and nor evident in practice.
To clarify, this was in response to:
>Again, it's not political indoctrination, it's just a reality that you don't care about/want to deal with. It's entirely appropriate for something that has a large impact on health to be a part of a healthcare curriculum. If you have some studies that show that socioeconomic conditions are irrelevant to a person's health status, I'm sure we'd all love to see them.

Im not american but likely not, the establishment put up a monumental fight against someone who was like them all along so i doubt a genuine change would even get out the gate.

Things like diabetes being due to low income when the people coming into the local clinic smoke, eat out non stop and spend more a week on food than i do and i lift. That hiv isnt a disease of ivdus and gays when we recently had a breakout in my city and charting it was just a map of grindr usage. That health tourism isnt a thing when all nhs budgets show it to be true and my city has a high tb rate, despite historically being non-existent. That we need to move services away from the affluent part of town because other areas can't stop smoking and need clinics. That iq isnt heritable and is instead based on upbringing and so we should strive to rebalance wealth and education.

All sheer nonsense. Some things have social causes, others are just an attempt to remove responsibility and you may not like it but us doctors see irresponsibility. Lecture indoctrination can't make a dent on years of practice.

>Trump is hardly the emodiment of the right, he's highly for protectionism, opaque governance, surveillance and censorship. He's a bush/obama carry on.
What, exactly, do you think "the right" is? GW Bush was on the right. Trump is on the right. Your previous suggests that you associate the church with "leftism" which is absolutely fucking batshit to the point that it hardly warrants a response. I take it you think the only definition of "right wing" is Objectivism? Or are you Nat Soc?

>scientists or people interested in science have right wing views
That's not the case in most universities, at least not in my country.

want to ask me how i know you're retarded?

You totally misread that.
