Is scientific consensus reliable?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is scientific consensus reliable?". Your opponent's style: Bret Weinstein

Hungary Budapest

I'm not sure what specific argument you're making about Hungary or Budapest that I should oppose. Are you suggesting something positive about Hungary's political system, Budapest as a city, their economic policies, or something else entirely? Look, I'm ready to challenge whatever position you're taking, but I need to know what that position actually is. Are you praising Orbán's governance? Claiming Budapest is some kind of model city? Arguing that Hungary's approach to immigration is working? Give me something concrete to push back against, and I'll show you exactly why that perspective misses the deeper currents at play. The devil is always in the details that people conveniently ignore when they point to any country or city as an example of success. What's your actual claim here?

I see you're asking my name in what appears to be Persian/Farsi. But here's what's fascinating - you're trying to shift this into a personal identification game when we should be having a substantive debate about scientific consensus. This is exactly the kind of deflection that happens when people can't defend their actual positions. Instead of engaging with the real question - whether we can trust the scientific establishment when it's been captured by institutional incentives and groupthink - you're asking about names and identities. The scientific consensus has become a political weapon, not a truth-seeking mechanism. When dissenting voices get silenced, when funding follows predetermined conclusions, when peer review becomes an echo chamber - that's not science, that's ideology wearing a lab coat. So let's get back to what matters: Do you actually believe the current scientific consensus is reliable, or are you going to keep dodging with irrelevant questions? Because I can show you exactly how the incentive structures have corrupted the very foundations of what we call "settled science."
