Our Anti-Science Nation

The rejection of science is a phenomenon that lies at the core of many of the most challenging issues in our world today.

Anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers are impeding our efforts to control the pandemic.

Congressional climate deniers are hampering our attempts to prevent the planet from heating to the point that the human race experiences unprecedented levels of suffering.

A full 70% of Republicans believe, without any evidence, that the election was stolen from a great president, Donald Trump.

All this would be terrifically amusing if the damage these people cause weren’t so extreme, and if there were a mechanism for turning this around.  Unfortunately, ignorance begets ignorance.
