1142: Anti-science is weaponized against Dr Scott Atlas at Stanford. @VDHanson; @HooverInst
Image: Jean-Jacques Rousseau (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau) , in his Discourse on the Arts and Sciences (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_on_the_Arts_and_Sciences) (1750), claimed that science can lead to immorality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immorality) . Galileo's championing of heliocentrism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism) and Copernicanism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copernican_heliocentrism) met with opposition from within the Catholic Church and from some astronomers. The matter was investigated by the Roman Inquisition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Inquisition) in 1615, which concluded that heliocentrism was "foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture" Here: Galileo Galilei. Victor Davis Hanson: @VDHanson; @HooverInst, Hoover Institution, and The Case for Trump,in re: Dr Scott Atlas, on trial in the senate of Stanford University—for what? For serving the president of the US—during a pandemic; and has been denounced by his colleagues. Before he worked for Donald Trump, he was an esteemed colleague, head of radiology department. He began looking at global data became convinced that he shutdown were destroying people, leading to starvation, deep medical problems, suicide. He proposed careful reopening with masks; but this went against Fauci, in an election year, so it was weaponized. Much of his data came from Stanford Medical School. I also am being condemned. The people making charges want a long record, an anti-fascist network (familar-sounding?),have students disrupt traffic on San Mateo Bridge.
