I had a quick correspondence with my dad about this article, and he made the good point that people refuse to believe facts when it suits them, either emotionally (they cannot deal with the notion that their actions are going to push the world over the brink) or because of economic self-interest of course… As he said, they deny facts selectively. And when there are leaders in charge who do the same, they can get away with it more blatantly and encourage others to do so as they see fit. So, though Latour’s efforts may help, they cannot combat the active denial of scientific methods. As my father put it, in our country the only practical solution is to elect new leaders. So, I guess we’ll see about that in the coming week for midterms…
