Too often this has allowed a small cohort of vocal #contrarians to have an outsized impact on #PublicPolicy and public perceptions.โ https://noc.social/@CaulfieldTim/110973558660672127

Talking more broadly about communication tactics from #antivaxxers to 9/11 #truthers, from #climate #contrarians to AIDS #deniers, every parallel universe comes with its little niche #rituals, #idiosyncratic #fallacies, and historical #trajectory. What they share is their #sabotage of public scientific #discourse.
Feel free to suggest somebody or DM me ๐

It is enormously empowering โ even intoxicating โ to lose yourself to a #crowd. That is why we need #contrarians.
ยซSince they have cut off their ties with their #tribe, nothing prevents them from seeing things as they are.ยป
