>half of America trusts Breitbart more than they trust NASA

How is it possible for such a developed country to be THIS scientifically illiterate? And how do we fix this?
>>
You will never be able to fix this for the same reason religion is so hard to eradicate from people's minds. We are wired to hold irrational beliefs. Most of us are for sure. Luckily, science has been able to progress despite our nature.
>>
>>8773370

>>8773381
How can you believe in climate change when Breitbart doesn't?
>>
>>8773384
I'll pick science any day over "feeling logically." Climate change has been explained over and over again in most my bio classes and all 8 chem classes.
>>
>>8773388
But you also said you believe in Breitbart
>>
>>8773391
But I also said I believe science.

When I say I believe Breitbart, I mean I believe it over CNN, Huffpo, NYT, etc. That's all for politics but their views on climate change and abortion (to some extent) IMO are meme tier.
>>
>>8773370
Public schooling was a mistake. My AP English teacher told us she was told in her doctorate program that the purpose of public schooling is to condition students for being behaved citizens, not for education. That's what college is for.

Two other educators I know, one in teaching and one in administration, say they were told the same.

The fact that we send people to an institution for 12 years to condition them and don't even half-ass educating them the entire time, then put a $20,000+ paywall on actually learning means the system is designed to pump out retards all day every day.
>>
>>8773371
The irony is that trusting NASA or trusting science or trusting anything is just as religious as 'religion'

What does this mean? Is it just like a synonym for retarded?

>>8773396
Aren't most non-public schools in America religious? They push similarly retarded anti-science shit that sites like Breitbart do.

Religion and education should be kept completely separate

What's your point?

>>
>>8773459
That's not my argument at all, what the fuck

Science can actually be objected unlike basically every religion. New ideas in religion are oppressed if it directly goes against thousand year old writings by some desert people. Science builds upon itself and if you think something scientific is wrong and can prove it, you are able to change the accepted view of that thing.

People "religiously" following the scientific method and trusting knowledge that has been evidenced and reviewed by thousands is totally different to actually being religious

Religion. The origins of right-wing conspiracy theories and paranoid news outlets are essentially religious, driven by Evangelical needs for alternative facts (see: creationism). Combine this with mainstream media and government openly lying to people, and you get a backwards population who will believe anything a paranoid right-wing news rag says.

Terrorists commit mass homicides frequently. The current prominent organizations have taken up home in the middle East and use radical Islam as a means to push their agenda. There are many more peaceful Muslims than them. Specifically pointing out that MUSLUMS committed these atrocities is extremely xenophobic. Call them jihadists, extremists, whatever.

Also realize that our impulsive responses only fuel their agenda. We need to help the countries they have taken over, or else more of their citizens will join the terrorist groups. That's why taking the refugees is important.

Massachusetts has the best performance on PISA in the US, comparable to East Asian countries (except math where it's weaker) and it's far from the most white. It's not as if they have a ton of Asians either. Some of the most backward states in the US are the most white, like West Virginia.

Reminder that America's mantra for over several centuries was taking in the lowest tiers of the social pecking order from european countries and importing manual labor everywhere else. And isn't like you can deny it because we had a Frenchman build a monument to explicitly express that purpose.

America never prioritized importing the most intelligent or elite, they just followed where the money was or escape their own nations bullshit. And honestly we got lucky that our core population was able to last this long without it becoming blantly obvious our demographic constitution (even in the white population) was academically weak and we depended on first gen immigrants for academia prestige.

This goes well beyond race because even American Whites are behind academically compared to European Whites. So either it's an issue with the education system or the population stock.

If it's the former we can fix it, if it's the latter then American Whites are going to have to face the reality their shit tier even in their own race and they won't be able to blame others because their own history shows they were low tier in the first place.

Except objectively Fox and Breitbart are better than shit like CNN. Which side correctly predicted that Trump would be elected? Fox and Breitbart. Which side correctly predicted the outcome of the Brexit vote? Again, Fox and Breitbart. Meanwhile the MSM has done nothing but spew liberal propaganda that time and again has been proven wrong. For example, when Trump said that mudslimes were creating problems in Sweden, the MSM tripped over itself trying to claim that everything in Sweden was wonderful and how great the mudslime "cultural enrichment" was going for Sweden. Then literally the next day the mudslimes in Sweden riot and destroy half of a city. The MSM is nothing but an endless stream of blatant lies.

Because it's clear to half of America now that news outlets like CNN, who we only assumed to be partially dug into an agenda before, are actually shit deep into an agenda and incapable of the smallest trace of impartiality in what and how they choose to report

I can't even give most news outlets the smallest benefit of the doubt anymore, I only care about news wires

Breitbart has basically arisen as the anti-cancer, it isn't anything better but when your other option is so horribly impartial it begets a horribly impartial response

That's not what the original post was saying however.

The idea of religion surrounds blind faith; no matter how enlightened a follower can become, they'll never truly 'know' and must put their faith in the unknown. In the same vain, someone who according to OP trusts NASA but isn't scientifically educated enough (see: most of the world not trained in astrophysics, engineering and astronomy) to understand what they're doing similarly exhibits a blind faith toward science. Now of course the difference is that unlike religion, there is a way of attaining said knowledge so that their trust is no longer just blind faith. But very few people have the time or patience to do this.

It's kind of like the people who hear about a 'recent study that says X prevents Y' and do not try to inquire further as to what it really means, and whether the study may actually be valid. They exhibit a kind of blind faith toward science, and that can be just as dangerous as a blind faith to God.

That is not an objective opinion.

You seem to equate "NANA" with "Science." That is a false equivalence.

NASA is not a scientific institute of pure learning -- it is a large and highly bureaucratic agency of government, in a time when many people have come to distrust governments.

NASA has accomplishe miracles in the years before most of us were born, and has done some valuable work since then. But were they are now, they are an organization with a strong tool-kit of technical expertise whose mission has shifted from space, science and technology to survival as an organization.

I'd tend to trust them more than, say, the IRS or the State Department. But even with NASA, I think the wisest approach is to Trust Upon Verification.

Wouldn't the best thing to do be weigh multiple reports of PROVEN reputable sources, and make an informed opinion?

It's literally your fault if you think opinionated news = fake news.

>Religion and education should be kept completely separate

I think by that you mean that religion should not be taught in schools. I disagree, especially in religious schools, where it will obviously be a key part of the curriculum. But even in pubic schools, we live in a world where religion has shaped our history and continues to do so -- the religion-driven conflict between radical Islam and everybody else is the obvious example, but not the only one.

Students in schools need to be taught about religion and the different world-views fo those who hold different faiths.

I would agree with you this far -- religion is not particularly useful in a math class, and should not be allowed to distort a science class. "The Bible is not a science text," and like that.

Fox and Breitbart are and always were Trump shills, of course they'd predict their lord and savior would win. It's in their agenda.

What the /pol/ retards are saying ITT, and also the reason why no one bothers seriously debating you faggots, is basically that it's not really bad journalism you're calling out (or else you'd hate Breitshit and Fox just as much as CNN or the like for now inaccurate and misleading they are). It's really just that Fox and Breit espouse the same alt right beliefs you have and that's why you pick them over more liberal news sources.

You're literally clinging to your safe spaces and bubbles because you can't stand it when a news source doesn't support your retarded ideologies. That's literally the same thing SJWs do m8.

I think you have your finger on a difference between how change happens in science and how it happens in religion. But I also think you overstate how difficult it is for new ideas in religion to arise and get a hearing (look at the number of "heretical"schisms that were running around in the early Christian Church which were debated, argued, accepted or rejected...)

I suspect you are also overestimating the ease with which new radical ideas are accepted by science. Though of course the "heretical" scientist has an advantage in that the proofs he can bring forward are of a more physical and indisputable kind.

The people who argue a point of science not by pointing to proofs and data, but just by invoking the Holy Name of Science over and over again?

Wait, what?

You really believe that building cars cannot be outsourced? Farming cannot be outsourced?

Recycling of plastic in my small city go by barge to Mexico to make new drink bottles. Chinese factories can make solar panels as easily as anybody else, and with the same labor cost advantage they use to undercut prices on so many other things.

Of your list, I guess picking up trash, if tha's what "cleaning up waste" means, would be hard to outsource, we'll just let illegal Mexicans do that one like we do now.

Those are just people on the street who have little to nothing to do with the actual scientific process. Sure, they're not going to know much about it. The difference is that if they were to actually investigate, learn, and delve deeply enough, they could see and understand the data. With religion, on the other hand, even the most learned of religious scholars need faith, because even if you were to dedicate your entire life to investigating and learning about the subject, you still wouldn't have objective data to derive a point of religious belief like the divinity of Christ. Science just requires that you gain the knowledge necessary to understand it. With religion, that alone is never enough, you always need the additional step of faith in something that isn't actually rooted in data.

They aren't "opposing opinions". They are outright fabrications. We knew the DNC got phished way back in July, it didn't become a "Trump is colluding with Russia" spin until this December when they decided they needed a concerted smear campaign. Since then the rest of their body of evidence has included such flimsy circumstantial evidence as "person X did business in Russia once" and "person Y talked to the Russian ambassador (among many others)". It's total fucking bullshit and reeks of agenda.

I picked up a copy of the NYT at a Starbucks recently and it was patently shameful. They don't have real sources, they have real sources because you want them to be real. They are still the same "unnamed source", "anonymous informant", "some guy in the CIA" shit as any other tabloid piece of shit.

And it isn't just in how you're presenting something, it's what you're presenting. How you consciously choose to run all anti-conservative, anti-Trump stories 24/7 and omit other big stories because you aren't actually a news outlet, you're a circlejerk leftist boom cannon. If that perspective agrees with your own I can easily see why you wouldn't consider that a problem. Personally my priorities don't revolve around opening my nation's asshole to floods of refugees and caring about what bathroom isn't letting trannies in anymore.

Saying she committed a crime would be beyond reporting of the facts. That would be taking the legal aspects into your own hands and forming an opinion. Per the NYT:

>An F.B.I. investigation into whether any laws were broken in the handling of classified information has concluded, and while the agency recommended no charges against Ms. Clinton over her use of email, it was called "extremely careless." Attorney General Loretta Lynch affirmed that she would accept the recommendation and that the Department of Justice would not seek criminal charges.

So... If you disagree with the FBI or DOJ, fine. But Breitbart is no federal judge with higher authority than the DOJ. Of course you will cry corruption and shilling etc. I personally am not a fan of what happened, but I'm not going to demand someone be jailed for things above my head. I don't vote for Hillary.

> The difference is that if they were to actually investigate...they could see and understand the data.

You may overestimate them, but I do understand your point.

>With religion, on the other hand, even the most learned of religious scholars need faith...

Would tend to agree, to a large extent. I believe you can find EVIDENCE in religious matters, but not ultimately PROOF, which are two different things often conflated by those having this discussion. So there is, in religion, ultimately a question of Faith. As a person of Faith myself, I don't see this as a huge drawback -- but it certainly defines a difference between the pursuit of enlightenment through Science and the similar pursuit of enlightenment on other topics through Religion.

>Science just requires that you gain the knowledge necessary to understand it.

Fine, but that does not address the millions who have acquired no such knowledge, but believe fervently anyway that what Science reveals to them is True. To them, Science is a Religion.

>With religion, that alone is never enough, you always need the additional step of faith in something that isn't actually rooted in data.

Agreed, again noting that I see that as a difference that does not apply superiority of one over the other. The question of Faith makes religion ill-suited for trying to understand how the cosmos works -- I'd argue that the absence of Faith as an element in the belief system makes Science a poor tool for trying to understand the Why of it all.

I find them both useful in search of the appropriate sort of understanding.

See

> From the group of 30,000 e-mails returned to the State Department, 110 e-mails in 52 e-mail chains have been determined by the owning agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received. Eight of those chains contained information that was Top Secret at the time they were sent; 36 chains contained Secret information at the time; and eight contained Confidential information, which is the lowest level of classification.

> With respect to the thousands of e-mails we found that were not among those produced to State, agencies have concluded that three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received, one at the Secret level and two at the Confidential level.

> For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).

The debate is in the political arena. But in the scientific community where people have actually examined the data on natural versus man-made forcing, that debate was resolved years ago.

>>8774402
> IPCC report
The product of a committee made up of governments, not science. The idea of there not being debate is fundamentally antithetical to science. There are plenty of dissenting voices regarding whether climate change is man made or if it's just a part of the planet's natural cycles, the IPCC simply chose to ignore them in favor of "consensus." This ignores the fact that science isn't driven by consensus, but rather by those who defy the consensus and discover something new.
>>
>>8774450
> this is probably mostly CNN's fault since they went down the hardest and were formerly regarded as neutral enough

Conservatives have been saying that CNN was liberal media garbage since before Fox News was even created. That's not a new development. More likely the rise of Breitbart and the like was driven by conservative dissatisfaction with Fox News being insufficiently conservative for their tastes. During the long 8 years of the Obama presidency, there was enough time and enough rage on the right at being out of power that you saw the rise of the Tea Party and other conservative groups who claimed that existing conservatives were insufficiently conservative, and Fox News was basically the conservative establishment by that point.

The people who gravitated toward Breitbart mostly didn't make the jump from CNN, but rather they were Fox News viewers who began using it as a supplemental source when they felt Fox wasn't being hard enough on the Obama administration.
>>
>>8774467

I am moderately conservative. I didn't like Fox News prior to this election cycle. I realized CNN had a slight liberal tint but it wasn't horrible. This election cycle completely changed my mind and I watched them drown in their own hatred for Donald Trump to the point of regularly pushing out tabloid tier rumors.

I'm not a wholly neutral observer by any means but my assumption is that other people similar to my position also developed a similar amount of distaste, while your Facebook conservative grandma who may have been on CNN every once and a while before is now committed to her daily dose of Breitbart.

All I can deduce is that harder camps were created from this past election all along the strata and things have felt much more personal, which is where people get even more defensive.
>>
>>8774485
> I am moderately conservative.
And that already separates you from most of Breitbart's readership. They wouldn't add "moderately" to that descriptor. So I don't think your particular case is representative of Breitbart's readership.

http://www.journalism.org/interactives/media-polarization/table/consume/

The only group that had more than 10% getting news from Breitbart was the most conservative group.
>>
>>8774504
That data is from 2014, so it doesn't take into account the moderates who have started to look to alternatives like Breitbart after the 2016 election outed CNN and other "moderate" sources as shills for the dims.

That doesn't mean we should be debating things that are well known. Especially when there's obvious incentive to misrepresent science. I mean no serious scientific debate is going on about whether the Earth is flat.
>>

>I mean no serious scientific debate is going on about whether the Earth is flat.
Because we can see that it isn't, so the evidence is fairly clear. With AGW, on the other hand, the evidence isn't at all clear that humans are the cause or if this is just the earth's natural cycles at work. So we absolutely should have debate over that instead of trying to ignore or silence dissent.

The geophysics has been known in detail for a long, long time. I'm only a uni student but when I took surface climate processes, my textbook was over 60 years old. Why? Because the way the Earth handles insolation hasn't changed and it won't for geologic time.

From listening to actual scientists, it's clear that there is serious debate in scientific circles over whether the climate is changing because of human activity or if it is simply part of the earth's natural cycles.

Given that those statements are both true, there are two logical possibilities:

Either there is some causative relationship, where Trump's prediction caused riots to break out in a foreign country and Trump is truly the god-emperor of mankind able to manifest unrest around the world

THIS. Liberals keep trying to smear Trump for "lying," when in reality it doesn't matter if what Trump says is literally true. As he puts it, he uses truthful hyperbole, statements that while not literally true still get the point across. And, more importantly, they tell people that Trump takes their concerns seriously.

For example, when Trump said the murder rate was the highest it's been in 40 years, liberals tried to jump on that statement and accused him of lying. In reality, to most Americans it doesn't matter if that is literally true, what is important is that Americans are worried about rising crime after years of lawlessness under obama, and when Trump acknowledged that crime has risen to worrying levels it told them that he was with them and he shared their concerns. It doesn't matter if it's literally true that the murder rate is the highest it's been in exactly 40 years, what's important is that crime has become a big problem that worries most Americans and we need a leader who shows that he understands that.

It doesn't matter when the riot in Sweden was, what matters is that muslim immigration is causing massive problems in countries all over Europe. The American people recognize that, and they want a leader who recognizes that and will take steps to stop muslim immigration before we end up in as bad a situation as Europe.
>>
>>8774793
So what if it's an exaggeration? The underlining point is still valid. No country in the developed world has been improved by allowing muslim in, and many have had serious problems because of the appearance of a group of people who have no willingness to abide by the customs of the country and want to impose their backwards beliefs on everyone else.
>>
>>8774799
You're autistic. I'm not a liberal by any means but do you hear yourself?

What makes you think leaders that actually fact-check what they say don't care about or understand the issues? It's not that fucking hard to not make up facts on the spot in order to get a point across.

This is such a degeneration of evidence-based thinking I'm disgusted. You're defending someone for saying literally false things because you agree with what those things imply... that isn't how it works. Maybe people wouldn't be "worried about rising crime" if their leaders weren't LITERALLY LYING to them about the murder rate being high!

They're worried about rising crime because the have to live it. Not everyone is has the benefit of being a limousine liberal living in a gated community far away from the thugs, looters, and gangbangers that have been allowed to thrive under obama and even been encouraged by him. The American people want a leader who recognizes the truth, even if he says things that are somewhat hyperbolic but fundamentally based on a very real problem.

of course, that didn't stop conservative media (Breitbart, FOX, Infowars etc.) from claiming that crime was skyrocketing. and people believed them, and thought that crime was rising even though it was just a change in how it was presented to them and how they perceived it.

Why would they need to? Terrorists have access to resources, so they don't need to go through the most heavily-scrutinised channels. They can pose as tourists, or as immigrants. Or they could just buy their way in illegally. Coming in on a crowded boat or as part of a line of people is only nessisary if you DON'T have resources.

>No. As far as I am aware there are no organised groups of vegans, or car owners, or teachers, or any other arbitrary factor, going around with the intent of the destruction of Western civilization.
You missed my point. Any of those vegans, car owners or teach MIGHT also be a terrorist. You can't know for sure. So directing your suspicion ONLY on refugees is completely unreasonable.

There's no reasonable grounds to conflate "being a refugee" with "likely to be a terrorist".

Funny, Canada let in 40000 refugees and the only terrorist attack in recent history here has been against muslims by a /pol/yp. I'm beginning to think /pol/ is more dangerous than refugees.

There's no reasonable grounds to support that these people are even refugees. Once they are inside the Turkish borders, what war are they fleeing from? What wars are taking them from Syria to Calais?

The fact that they are Islamic is ground to believe that they more likely to be a terrorist than the average person. Like it, don't like it, your choice, but those are the facts.

interestingly, American Muslims used to be a Republican constituency before 9/11 because they favored the family values social conservative rhetoric and were pro-business. one Republican said Bush won Florida and thus the presidency because of the Muslim vote. of course after 9/11 they became the great boogeyman, and the US government tried its hardest to make them into an actual boogeyman by convincing the Muslim world that we were indeed out to get them.

>>8776872
The conversion of a large chunk of Christian extremists in America to Islam would be hilarious

I actually think it's possible too
>>
>>8776879
It wouldn't be Christian extremists, it would be previously atheist /pol/acks who reject Christianity as a Jewish lie to keep Aryans down but like the other aspects of Islam but are otherwise fans of Islamic social norms.

One of the main pillars of Islam is charity, and muslims were an early proponent of the concept of a welfare state.
Also the Quran actually states in Al-Baqara 2:256 that there should be no coercion in matters of religion.
So it's not really /pol/'s thing.

Who gives a shit about the quran dude, muslims certainly don't.

>One of the main pillars of Islam is charity, and muslims were an early proponent of the concept of a welfare state.
Charity is allegedly an important part of Christianity, and yet American protestants have managed to merge Christianity with Ayn Rand to create monstrosities like Biblical Capitalism and prosperity theology. Such an ideology could only exist in burgerland.

According to Albert Speer, Hitler liked Islam, though he thought the Arabs were racially inferior. He that it would be suitable for a heroic Islamized German race to spread by the sword. The /pol/acks would just adapt it to their worldview, emphasizing hatred of Jews, conservative values, and proselytizing (redpilling).

I would say so, as someone who went to a religous day school K-12 (and a religous preschool as well). Though I didnt have it so bad, it was still a college prepatory school. The things I did in high school were as challenging as commumity college courses and we often used entry college level textbooks in our classes.

Further, while we did have mandatory religious classes, we still had a normal science dept. We learned evolution, and in English classes we got to read from the banned books list.

All in all, after 12 years of attempted conditioning im not a very good citizen (didnt even vote), or religous at all.

>the election system in america is not rigged, it is fair
>but also California secretly lets millions and millions of illegal immigrants vote
the above is mutually contradictory. are you really unable to see how this works?
>crooked hillary cheated
if Clinton was going to try to steal the election, why would she run up millions and millions of fraudulent votes in California (a reliably Dem state anyway) instead of trying to get a few hundred thousand in swing states, where they'd have done her some good?

the thing about /pol/acks and other delusional freaks like them is that they decide what happened and then make up claims to support it, rather than basing their opinions on actual evidence. they swallow what they are fed and engage in all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify believing it (because to reject part of it would mean to admit they were duped) even when two of their positions are in direct contradiction.

Trump played fair and followed the rules, do we agree on this?
Trump is now the president, do we agree on this?
Therefore, he Won Fair And Square, do we agree on this?

Since Trump Won Fair And Square; and he is recognized as the current president, the election system must not be that rigged. Do we agree on this?

Since Bernie Sanders is way more popular than Hillary (even according to Fox News polls), yet Bernie Sanders was not the democratic nominee, this implies some level of corruption/rigging going on by the democrats. Do we agree on this?

Great, so now you agree with me.
Trump won fair and square, the election was not rigged, and Crooked Hillary was the problem.
There is no contradiction.

let's take a look at your """"""reasoning""""
>Bernie Sanders is more popular than Hillary Clinton
>therefore for Hillary Clinton to have won the primary, it must have been rigged
but wait:
>Hillary Clinton is more popular than Donald Trump
>therefore for Donald Trump to have won the general, it must have been rigged
congratulations, you played yourself

of course, the real contradiction that you're stubbornly incapable of recognizing is that Donald Trump is simultaneously claiming that the vote totals were fair and reliable but also that millions and millions of votes were illegally cast. if millions and millions of votes were illegally cast, how can we be sure that Trump won legitimately? if there really were millions of fraudulent votes cast, how do we know they weren't responsible for him narrowly winning states that don't usually go to Republicans?
you brainlets deal with the cognitive dissonance by assuming that all fraudulent votes are by definition for Democrats, since you're incapable of understanding complexity or nuance. but as it turns out, in the real world it's usually Republicans who commit voter fraud...

Wrong.
Trump is more popular than hillary
hillary didn't even make the LIST
she only got as many votes as she did because of the two party system

Most (nearly all in fact) of the terrors attacks were perpetrated by resident citizens of second and third generations, with a past of violence and petty crimes with no inclination for religion. The guy that run people over in Nice, France, was abusing booze and drugs only months before the attack. We cant do much to counter this type of things except increase fundings for intelligence services and hope they make a mistake.
I'm far less worried about migrants that I am of the fact than a random brainlet thug will decide overnight that his hate for society, thirst for violence and lack of meaning in life is better expressed within the new hype ideology

Then it will go away.

the problem is that some Islamic fanatics believe that if they just go on a Jihad before they die allah will forgive them for drinking. You will have a proportion of nutcases in any group, but I worry that Muslim nutcases are more likely to hurt others because they can find a way to rationalize it with the Quran.

nice appeal to anecdotal evidence, but people actually like Clinton significantly more than they like Trump. (and that was BEFORE he actually took office and hilariously shit the bed.)
think of how unpopular Clinton is...and then realize that people like Orange Daddy even less.

There's very little evidence that Islamic terrorism is actually rooted in radical religious beliefs. Basically everything I've read points to a mixture of feeling hopeless, group pressures, and a need to feel significant as the primary motivations to join terror groups.
