Phrenology is as arguable as heliocentrism, which is to say: not at all.
It’s important to be clear that the truth value of a subject does not become debatable just because somebody wants to debate. Ether. Wandering wombs. Devils in red heads, the cursed left handed. Flat earth. Phrenology. Humors. Race science. “Debate me bro!” It’s fine for the answer to be: no.

No one will give me an endowed chair to balance the academy's unabashed heliocentrism bias.

"The effort comes in response to longstanding criticism that Harvard’s faculty leans overwhelmingly liberal."
Golly, I wonder why faculties tend to be overwhelmingly liberal? Are liberals more drawn to teaching? Have conservatives been engaged in a long war on science and knowledge? WHO KNOWS?

Sad to see Hayek from 1949 proved wrong in 2026: “I have yet to come across a single instance where such a scientific pseudo-reputation has been bestowed for political reason on a scholar of more conservative leanings.”

Proof again of the rule: Don’t debate Nazis. Arguments against birthright citizenship are poorly constructed motivated reasoning, and entertaining them in good faith is validating the premise that there’s something to debate. It’s like arguing heliocentrism.
I am very confident that anyone who is not precommitted will see who won this debate. Don’t know what “bullying tactics” are but I know Tim—or at least thought I knew him— and this is deeply disappointing.

still some fun things about the internet: I've learned there's an anime about heliocentrism vs geocentrism because a joke about heliocentrism vs geocentrism I made a while ago on tumblr is suddenly zipping around with fandom tags

Very little. The Holy See is (adjusted for inflation) the single biggest funder of astronomical research in history.
As for Galileo, he was found guilty of suspicion of heresy, spent one day in gaol, and the rest of his life living in a palace, and continued to publish heliocentrism around Europe.

I always wonder how much science would have advanced if it wasn’t held back by religion. #Atheist

I’m going to create an entirely new kind of discourse. Maybe horses are problematic. Maybe crock pots aren’t working class. Maybe heliocentrism sets a bad example for children. Still workshopping.

Did lizard people put fluoride in the water? Is heliocentrism an invention of Rosicrucians? Your uncle seems to think so.
did the jews cause race mixing? is integration a soviet plot? the white citizens’ council seems to think so.

To be frank, "the wealthy and powerful are all pedophiles and rapists" is perhaps the least conspiratorial conspiracy you could possibly believe in. It's like calling heliocentrism a conspiracy theory
the list of things I hate Trump for is long but rising quickly is the extent to which he is making me into an Epstein conspiracy theorist

beef is what got Galileo arrested!
the church wasn’t mad he wrote about heliocentrism (Copernicus did it years before and they were like *shrug emoji*), they were mad he took the pope’s money to write a book about how dumb the pope was
the real story is so much funnier and bitchier than the lore

Must we call it “skepticism?” If I say the sun revolves around the Earth, would you call me “skeptical” about heliocentrism?
A CDC website that previously said vaccines do not cause autism has walked back that statement. It now repeats the skepticism that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced about the safety of vaccines.
C.D.C. Website No Longer Rejects Possible Link Between Autism and Vaccines
A previous version denied a link between vaccines and autism. It now echoes the doubts about that conclusion voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This is the level we are dealing with. Really. Two digit IQs. Keep in mind that Ben Carson was a brain surgeon and evolution is more proven than plate tectonics and heliocentrism. Even one with a degree is incredibly stupid. Evolution is the basis of all modern medicine and biology.

Watching a Supreme Court be like “Trans Women biologically aren’t women” is pretty crazy
Literally like Copernicus watching people tell him that heliocentrism is wrong.
Just because you’re too fucking stupid to get it doesn’t mean you’re right, and time will tell

A 🧵of Galileo's arguments for Heliocentrism,& why he couldn't prove heliocentrism in his time:
1. Tides
Galileo was convinced of Heliocentrism by his tide model. Galileo's Dialogo was in fact a modification and extension of his 1616 Dialogue on the Ebb and Flow of the Tides.
