Just asking questions
(mander.xyz)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Nutjobs and charletains often hide behind "I'm just asking questions" rhetoric, and pretend that their inquiries are equally valid to actual science.
The most famous scientists of all time are remembered for challenging, and changing, the assumptions that everyone took for granted. Questioning science is always important, as long as the questioning is sincere. So no, I wouldn't immediately assume you were a nutjob or charletain simply for asking questions. The critical differentiator is how receptive you are to the answers.
Very well said. Thank you!
