Soyence
Soyence is propaganda and business claiming to be and trying to blend with science, nowadays promoted typically by pseudoleftist soyboys. It is what the typical reddit atheist believes is science or what Neil De Grass Tyson tells you is science. Soyence calls itself science and gatekeeps the term science by calling unpopular science -- such as that regarding human race or questioning big pharma vaccines -- "pseudoscience". Soyence itself is pseudoscience but it has the added attribute of promoting some politics.
Compared to good old fun pseudosciences such as astrology, soyence is extra sneaky by purposefully blending in with real science, i.e. within a certain truly scientific field, such as biology, there is a soyentific cancer mixed in by activists, corporations and state, that may be hard to separate for common folk and sometimes even pros. This is extremely harmful as the underlying science gives credibility to propaganda bullshit.
Soyence relies on low IQ, shallow education and popular "science education" (e.g. neil de grass), while making its followers believe they are smart. It produces propaganda material such as "documentaries" with Morgan Freeman, series like The Big Bang Theory and YouTube videos with titles such as "Debunking Flat Earth with FACTS AND LOGIC", so there's a huge mass of NPCs thinking they are Einsteins who blindly support this cult. Soyence attacks science from within by attacking its core principles, i.e. it tries to ridicule and punish thinking outside the box and asking specific questions -- in this it is not dissimilar to a mass religion.
Examples of soyence:
- gender studies LMAO
- "Race is a social construct and doesn't have any biological meaning."
- "Women are as intelligent as men."
- "This research is racist."
- "This goes against SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS therefore it's pseudoscience and conspiration theory."
- "We can't believe this because it wasn't peer reviewed and/or it didn't pass the null ritual and/or it wasn't published in a journal approved by us." (--Wikipedia)
- "We can't reject this because it was published by a tranny."
