Report: Majority of US teens have lost trust in Big Tech

Good news! Too much trust is not good! Trust but verify comes to mind!

It appears this research brief is leftist motivated. E.g. why the emphasis on usual bogeyman profits like Marxists!

However, for teenagers to be more skeptical is a good thing! Better wake not woke teenagers! 

Then, teenagers might also realize that e.g. global warming/climate change is the greatest scam of our time, gender dysphoria is a horrible euphemism, DEI is racism etc.

Science - The Religion Of Modern Times

Posted: 9/24/2018

The almost exclusive faith in and reliance on Science as if a religion or a god has probably never been greater than today. This faith is almost irrational not least because of the many massive errors of science in the past

Scientists have come to be seen as demigods or priests of truth or prophets or oracles. Unfortunately, scientists are only human, all too human!

In modern times, fanaticism is often based on unverified and unproven scientific conjectures propagated as laws of nature

Such blind faith in Science is the superstition of modern times. Another irony of history

Common sense requires sound skepticism!
