Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,... Jeremiah 9:23
"Dumbed-down media coverage has bred mistrust among some scientists,
leading them to withdraw from what they regards as a media circus.
Most, however, seem to be largely content with a system that disguises
the very human process of scientific discovery as a seamless stream of
ingenious and barely disputed ‘breakthroughs’
Like other elites,
researchers feel no great yearning to be held to account by the
press..... Science is being misrepresented as a cacophony of sometimes
divergent but nonetheless definitive ‘findings’."
