Here's a relevant paper on the radicalisation of science. In my opinion, unilateral/clandestine geoengineering activity is evidence of the radicalisation of climatology. Hence, climate change is a "radical" movement. So I agree with you zx16... :)

Here's a relevant paper on the radicalisation of science.

This article was published in 1972 in the Socialist Register, and it is arguing FOR the radicalisation of science. Did you read the last section, "PERSPECTIVES IN THE ORGANISING OF SCIENTISTS"? It attempts to explain why scientists haven't been radicalised properly, and explain what needs to be done to radicalise them.

This is the last paragraph: "It is precisely because of the need for this political framework that the innovative developments of the last three years need consolidation within an organised Marxist group. The task can no longer be left to organisations of scientists, operating in a liberal-libertarian mould, or small theoretical groups. Scientists now need to bring their science into the area of activity of the Marxist groups, and the groups to accept their responsibilities for political work in science. This collective development is the way forward to a much wider and deeper radicalism amongst scientists than ever before."

That's a fair point. Thanks for pointing this.

Scientific radicalisation and obfuscation works together to drive modern science into elitism.

The fabrication of the "conspiracy theory" label is a major step back in the democratization of science. Independent research is critical to the democratic system to prevent the polarization and radicalisation of science.

There's nothing wrong with independent research so long as it can potentially be verified and repeated. Conspiracy theories are usually unfalsifiable and therefore cannot be considered science anyway.
