  • I know it’s slightly more than 400 years, but: Science, aka. heresy in those days.

    Giordano Bruno, born Filippo Bruno; January or February 1548 – 17 February 1600)

    He proposed that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own planets (exoplanets), and he raised the possibility that these planets might foster life of their own, a cosmological position known as cosmic pluralism. He also insisted that the universe is infinite and could have no center.

    Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines, including eternal damnation, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the virginity of Mary, and transubstantiation.

  • A big part of it is that most of the people they put in charge of departments have no idea how those jobs are actually done. They have little to no background in the field, and think it can be done just like some cushy private CEO position where you basically “network” all day and just demand impossible things now and then.

    Although there is a very good chance you’re correct and that he just gathered up data that was handed over to the gestapo ICE.

    Just look at the facts: These are the places where you have to preserve the life of a fetus just because you can hear a heartbeat

    Not even.

    Women have been forced to carry dead fetuses, which will kill them from sepsis as it starts to decompose.

    And the people who voted for it will deny it ever happening, until something similar happens to someone they know. Then they’ll cry on the street corners about how unfair it is.

    Remember: Scientific studies have shown that many conservatives are cold hearted and stupid, by demonstrating a clear correlation between conservative thinking/behaviour and lower than average cognitive ability and empathy. And literally every single one of them think they are a super genius and they think most people secretly share their political views.
