I had ChatGPT debunk a meme, not too bad! This meme was so terrible I awarded it the worst meme of the year last year. So naturally, it continues to resurface and plague us. If you’re feeling lazy, have ChatGPT shoulder the burden 😂
Btw, here was my debunking of the meme for reference:
▪️Like Dr. Fauci himself, this meme equivocates the word science with scientists, which are two completely different concepts. Science is a methodology, which if properly followed qua the scientific method, is a valid way for humans to gain knowledge about the world.
▪️A scientist, meanwhile, may or may not be following the scientific method correctly. They may have biases or different contexts which cause them to see the world differently, or place more importance on certain issues.
▪️While scientists might change their mind when new information becomes available, science doesn’t, it’s just a tool we use to understand the world. It would be like saying the alphabet or eye glasses learned more.
▪️Which is why scientists often vigorously disagree with each other, not just about science, but about its application. The science on Covid is just one aspect of making a decision on closing schools or imposing vaccine mandates. As is the science on climate change on energy policy.
▪️There are countless factors outside the realm of science, like law and individual rights, which are often more important. All too often, "the science" makes disastrous public policy decisions, which is why it should be rightly questioned.
▪️This meme showed the blind allegiance people had to “science” this year, which in practice meant not the rigorous adherence to the scientific method, but backing the orthodoxy that the mainstream outlets and government had. By elevating the latter, it destroys the former.
Just incredible. After posting a meme blaming Charlie Kirk for his own murder, they post another a few hours later applauding Democrats for their civility.
Also, if you look at the Occupy Democrats timeline, their posts “denouncing political violence” were variations on “no one should be shot…BUT here’s a quote from Kirk showing he’s a terrible person.” Or sometimes they’d leave the first part out altogether and just attack him. There are no posts denouncing violence without qualifiers trying to gin up their base.
