minus-squaresweng@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoSounds like a wildly unscientific statement, considering e.g ~10% of the US population works in STEM.
minus-squarespiderwort@lemm.eeOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThat doesn’t seem to make much of a difference, strangely enough.

minus-squareMelkath@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoScience is an empirical method of finding fact. Government is a philosophical method of seeking truth. You are being pretty incoherent. How does science determine the order initiatives are addressed?
