Actually, “science” is a human activity and must care about what you think. It’s the universe that doesn’t care about either.

Is “Neither do I” written on the bottom?

I irony being anyone who owns such mug does give a fuck what you believe.

Science cares if your beliefs make you vote for someone who defunds research.

Sadly a lot of people’s beliefs don’t give a fuck about science.

This feels very 2011

In Chile, in 1960, after the great Valdivia earthquake, in a small beach town in southern Chile, to “calm the seas” after the tsunami, a mapuche machi (chilean indigenous people; chaman), did a human sacrifice, killing a little child, they were absolved because they “were acting in accordance of an extreme fear of their gods of their belief”, and it angers me always so much that story.

When they tell me to respect other people’s believes, I always think of that case, is then OK to kill children if you say is to “calm your angered gods?” Apparently yes, fuck that no I won’t accept people believeing in bullshit.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacrificio_humano_del_5_de_junio_de_1960_en_Chile?wprov=sfla1 here is the Wikipedia of the incident, seemingly there is no English wikipedia, so use translate if you don’t know Spanish.

This is “scienceism”.

Sure does. But nature doesn’t.

Science is a field of work, and its participants are able to think. But they don’t care what you and me think?

yeah, about that…yer funding…it comes in part from some of those anti-science folk… :/

This is mostly shared as an arrogant statement towards laymen, but really, it’s a reminder for scientists themselves

No matter what you think or believe your experiment should yield, reality check is always waiting around the corner.

Nice, when seen in this light!

“Its just my opinion”

No. Science isn’t about opinions. Its facts and nothing else.

If you’re putting your opinion in science, its no longer science.

Everything goes through our brains and therefore filters and interpretations. Science doesn’t happen if grants are approved and that usually means someone has something to gain. Even then, results are skewed by method and biases.

Science very much does care about our feelings, both individual and collective, every step of the way. That’s why there needs to be special care to take them out as much as possible.
