  Dogma of science is an oximoron, if it is dogmatic it isn’t science.

  I assume that i disagree, but i think it mainly is because “the dogma of science” is a phrase that i immediately recognize as a right wing talking point.

  But since you kind of only put that out there and i don’t expect right wing idiots on Lemmy i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and ask you to kindly elaborate a bit.

  What is the dogma of science? Who holds it? What sciences? All of them? Just STEM? And speaking of, who is obsessed with STEM? How and where does that obsession express itself?

      I have very much NOT called you right wing. I pointed out, correctly, that calling science a “dogma” is a right wing talking point. I have asked you to elaborate your point, so one is able to determine if you use it in the same context (as a blanket statement to make your own position stronger) or not.

      It is deeply ironic that you are ranting about how scientists don’t want to be questioned and “bulk” when told so, yet you have not elaborated a single one of your points yet (you are more than welcome to still do so) and have reacted to me asking you to do so in what i very much read as an aggressive tone.
