#i keep thinking about the way alt-right misogynists will talk about The Science and [gags] evolutionary psychology #and it's this very anti-intellectual approach to scientific discovery where they're fully leaning on 'scientific' concepts and papers #but have no regard for methodology or curiosity or. well. ethics.#anyway it drives me bonkers when people treat Science as a foregone conclusion where the result is more important than the process #plus yknow. the Impact That Has.
