This week’s exploration of accumulation is sponsored by The Sciences of the Artificial. A common refrain, almost axiomatic in my circles is: ‘why don’t they believe the science?’ Why don’t people take vaccines? Why don’t they believe in climate change? Why aren’t scientists taken to be the canaries in the coal mine that they are? Some of it has to do with organized misinformation by corporations, politicians and others whose interests are in conflict with the consequences of scientific investigation. These conflicts of interest are well known and well documented.
