We must not ignore what the science tells us about science denial, this is what Adrian Bardon tells us in his speech.
Top U.S. COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci recently blamed the country's ineffective pandemic response on an American "anti-science bias." He called this bias "inconceivable," because "science is truth." Fauci compared those discounting the importance of masks and social distancing to "anti-vaxxers" in their "amazing" refusal to listen to science.
It is Fauci's profession of amazement that amazes me. As well-versed as he is in the science of the coronavirus, he's overlooking the well-established science of "anti-science bias," or science denial.
Anthony Fauci seems to be enamoured of the Chinese way of looking at things, No, science is not truth and the way they pervert the truth. Many top scientist have a grievance with him.
The story has to do with evolution. “The human talent for rationalization is a product of many hundreds of thousands of years of adaptation. Our ancestors evolved in small groups, where cooperation and persuasion had at least as much to do with reproductive success as holding accurate factual beliefs about the world.”
So, why does the speaker deal with the flood of Noah?, This is because of millions of years that have coached humans to be guilty of the denial of science.
