The more people they push out the dumber the comments get. It has become garbage fire of meme comments.

What most people seem to be missing is how science subs, and I think the scientific community IRL, has followed that same regression trend. Most people assume that science is rigorous, and rooted in scientific theory so it is immune to ideological manipulation; but that couldn't be further from the truth. It is terrifying how stupid the scientific community has gotten.

Science never arrives at truth. It looks at all options; stupid, opposing, left field, etc. True science can actually never arrive at fact because it can not settle, it must be open minded to new evidence. If new evidence comes into play, it has to be investigated. There was a bill introduced about a year ago that essentially said opposing opinions would not be federally funded in the US, therefore the consensus would not be challenged (don't know if it passed). That old meme "that word, it doesn't mean what you think it means" comes to mind. Science has been bought and will now say whatever the powers that be say it should say. Sad.
