  • (Established) scientists have a long history of ignoring new theories not science itself. But that’s because at the end of the day scientists are still human.

    Science is not great at working on a very short time scales. But give it enough time so more evidence is gathered and possibly some stubborn influential people (that can’t accept a new theory) die and generally we get closer and closer to truth.

    Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.

    “Based on true events” = “Contains traces of what actually happened”

    “Plant based” = “Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants”
