Luboš Motl's Reference Frame
There are people who manipulate because they consider a particular big
outcome to be more important than the cleanness of the methods – which
may sometimes be sensible. The real problem is that liars and bullies
like that basically control the political sections of newspapers,
polling agencies, universities, and many other important spots. So they
collectively guaranteed that their ideological goals were always
more important than the cleanness of the methods – and that would mean
the end of democracy. In many environments, they are clear majorities;
in others, they may be minorities but they are majorities among those
who dare to speak. They don't find lies troublesome for a simple reason.
They have been lying (and harming inconvenient people around them)
pretty much 24 hours a day for many, many years and they have never
faced any tangible backlash. Whether you like it or not, most
truth-telling people avoid lies because they may face some problems when
they're caught lying. If there's no God and no human who takes care of
the punishment, most people find lies OK for them.
I hope that this will stop. One of the most well-defined examples of a
persistent lie that is being defended by dishonest bullies like that is
the climate hysteria, the claim that the climate is going to change
dangerously and it will be because of the human activity, especially one
involving CO2. Most people know this claim to be rubbish. And among
those who have honestly studied this question using scientific tools,
the fraction of those who realize that the worries are not backed by any
evidence adds up to a very healthy majority.
Nevertheless, we still hear the indefinitely repeated lies about those
97% who support the climate hysteria. They're pretty much the same
people as those who have been assuring us that Trump couldn't win. A
deceitful, completely corrupt movement of mostly far left activists. I
hope that President Trump will have the muscles to eradicate this
climate hysteria movement not only in the U.S. but in the whole world.
Dismantling of the U.S. role in the "Paris Agreement" should be the
beginning."
