Liberal science is paid research where the money comes from politically affiliated groups that are only paying for the research to push their agenda. They will only publish research that benefits their agenda. Liberal institutions will gladly skew results to keep the money coming in for research. Hence one of the main reasons those in the fields of academia love democrats and aren't very politically switched on and their thinking exhibits a glass ceiling effect. These people due to being linguistically able are quite convincing to those of lower IQ. Conservative private companies take part in similar activities but since they are NGOs this is not a concern. |
