Is HN particularly drawn to this over other platforms? I gotta say I don’t quite recognize this. In general, I think there’s a good dose of respect for science around these parts, but maybe I’m blind to it.

I see a particular strain more often here and in “rationalist”-adjacent spaces. It’s essentially anti-intellectualism dressed up as intellectual curiosity and debate.

		Come on, just admit that you are not able to follow the debate instead of criticizing it from the outside without understanding it.

I don’t think HN discredits science a lot, especially when compared to other platforms.
