Science can be misused

in covid-19 •  2 years ago 

After reading your post on how science can be misused, I found it very thought-provoking. You raise some valid points about how scientific research can be manipulated to serve certain agendas or to push specific narratives. It's unfortunate that this happens as it undermines the credibility of science and can lead to misinformation and confusion.

One question that comes to mind after reading your post is how can we as consumers of scientific information protect ourselves from being misled by the misuse of science? Are there certain red flags we should be aware of or certain steps we can take to verify the accuracy and objectivity of scientific claims?

Another question is how can scientists themselves ensure that their research is not being misused for political or personal gain? Are there ethical guidelines or best practices that they can follow to minimize the risk of their work being manipulated or misinterpreted?

Overall, I appreciate your insights on this important topic, and I believe it's essential for everyone to be aware of the potential misuse of science to make informed decisions and judgments about the information we encounter.

Like the upcoming election now, there are lots of manipulation of data from INEC officers. You will see in an election day the total number of voter's would be more than the population of what the censor officers give as the population of that state.

The most difficult thing to do, scientifically; is to remove personal bias from a problem being studied using the scientific method! Some of the greatest breakthroughs are the result of success in removing this bias, then analyzing why the results are different that you expected.

Doing this well is where most Patents come from!

anyone pretending to be "objective" is an idiot

True, knowing that, the design of experiments (DOE) can randomize the results during data collection. This way the results are only extracted at the last step.

I Love it when the answer is Not what I expected, that's where the treasure lives!

it would also go a long way towards advancing "confidence"

if there was (a hell of a lot) more focus on sigma

Scientific prostitutes offend me at a base level! I have told clients Not to tell me what they expect I'll find. Then I randomize the data collection process. I have fixed a number of production processes, by identifying a true root cause; and ignoring what they have tried to use in the past!

It is fun to turn their processes over and rebuild them using their own data! They are usually surprised and happy....

i remember figuring out what "sample-bias" is when a friend of mine explained how the market-research company they work for designs the surveys to "make the customer happy"

Thanks for the clarity

I've made my living doing this, and it ended up with several dozen patents in my name.

They call me now, when they can't figure it out. It keeps me on my toes!

👍💗😁💙🎉

Hmm, I love that statement

They call me now, when they can't figure it out. It keeps me on my toes!

Without problem solving skill, no human would seek for another man help. Keep the good work up buddy

It does make things interesting, and I charge them a lot. But they are happy when I leave, and their line is running!
