RE: Scientific Evidence Shouldn't Dictate Your Opinion... But It SHOULD Guide It - A Response to Kyriacos' Post (Part 2)
But what of the anarchist who doesn't want any authoritarian guides and doesn't want the demoralization that can result from scientific reasoning? What should science do with them? Stomp them out if they become too numerous?
It's a Zuzwang. I think that we can't stomp them out because of internet and a huge quantity of low-quality content that manipulates the crowd to reject the authority of science. I know some community that is growing day by day that's states that all math and physics are a bullshit created specially to make all of us dumb. The only thing they accept is engineering. They want to destroy the academies and put academics into jail! We have also flat earth society that would like to destroy NASA. I think that it's unstoppable process but i don't know far can it takes us. The tries to stop this can lead to acceleration of that process.
Yeah, I agree. I think the rise and growth of anarchism in relation to science is unstoppable without violence and may be unstoppable no matter what. Just look at things like climate change denial--unstoppable without some hardcore authoritarian type system coming in. We'll see where it goes.
An old sci-fi novel "Hard to Be a God" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky depicts very well where it can go.
