Or, you know, when it became clear that they were partisan and very clearly politically motivated.

It really is crazy how people are obsessed with an arbitrary number the government made up one day and now has everyone brainwashed by it.

If the government now said 24 is legal, everyone would find people who called 23 year olds hot disgusting.

Jordan Peterson is simply the most recent person right wingers are fawning over even though it's obvious most will worship literally anybody who makes even the slightest perceived attack on 'pc culture' and are happy to handwave every questionable and moronic thing he says to facilitate that.

Pretty much. People fawn over him because they saw him "fighting back" against students about gender labeling, and uncritically accept everything else he says. Despite him being a psychologist who takes psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory seriously, and regularly spouts evolutionary psych bull.

Either that, or enough people in the administration finally impressed upon him how monumentally stupid such a cut would be in the first place.

The crazy thing is that I don't really think I've seen anyone, from any side, say that the cuts were good. The closest I've seen is "meh, but at least smaller gov't and larger military!"

We have data to show this based on the historically negative coverage of Trump that goes well beyond even the lowest point of his disapproval ratings.

You haven't proven that there's a drop in the first place. You're just talking out of your ass now with nothing to back it up.

I mean, talk to any researcher in the US. Almost every lab I know that was basic science has shifted to incorporate applied work in the hopes of actually obtaining funding.

The increase in available funding for applied research reflects a shift in cultural demand with the increased integration of industry with academia, likely.

It was a recent article that came to mind. Similar data could be found in US.

If you don't find the precipitous drop in basic science concerning, you lack an understanding of how science develops.

It means it's been working fine for 30+ years so if you're going to argue a continue decline is going to have some sort of tangible impact on the industry you're going to have to explain why it hasn't in that timeframe.

You'd need to be burying your head in the sand if you didn't think the funding environment has had a dramatic impact on the state of basic science over the past 25 years.

Why is it awful? Elon Musk has singlehandedly shown that private industry can and will invest in space, and do so by making far faster innovations, far cheaper, than what NASA has been able to do.

Because the idea that science can be privatized shows a complete lack of understanding of science. Pretty much every step along the way this administration has tried to cut funding for science and handwaved it away with the idea of privatization and using Musk as their star conman.

I suppose I think it matters because if we notice a flow of propaganda, but it is mostly through bots, trolls, fake accounts, etc. then is it really a thing?

Kind of the whole, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?"

I agree to an extent, however, that seems to be an entirely different question than the one they were trying to address.
