Has anyone written a good essay about the whole "I believe in science/trust the scientists" phenomenon which is more a lifestyle brand than an actual belief in the *scientific method* which is a process, not a set of facts handed down like the Bible?
Like the way science actually operates, you're constantly trying to disprove the things we think we know. It's not like there's an authority and you listen to them because they've been handed religious truth...
Scientists know this but I think at least a portion of them have enjoyed the politicization of the field and won't point this out to the followers of the lifestyle brand version...
