Yeah… Man, I don’t consider myself a conservative, but I’ve really grown a disdain for anthropomorphic “The Science.” I’m also starting to develop some itchiness towards “The Facts.”
Michael Malice said it best recently. We all need to trust experts around us in our daily lives. The problem isn't trusting experts, it's being told to trust "the" experts. The "the" is the problem. I'd argue the same goes for "the" science, etc.
