"If we want social science to matter, we need to be much more thoughtful
about the questions we ask, the infrastructures we build, and the
incentives that we accept and promote. In essence, we need to be
accountable for the privilege we have to pursue knowledge. And with that
privilege, we need to stop lamenting how the public doesn’t understand
or respect our work and start using our social-scientific knowledge to
truly understand and appreciate why."
Why Social Science Risks Irrelevance
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
