What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?
You absolutely can lie via data & math & everything about how you present data is an argument for how to interpret/understand it
Everything we know is founded on best guesses & analogies

Genuinely astounded there are still ppl out here who can simultaneously a) recognise that science & technology are inherently social processes which embed our values in systems & artifacts, & also b) completely deny that the historical foundations of technoscience actually matter a whole fucking lot

I somehow always forget how cheerfully horny and queer Better Off Ted was as a series— and that's in addition to being a delightful homage to Brazil, *and* a trenchant comedic framing for thinking about the social implications of technoscience. Truly we were robbed.

I am not a scientist who is going to uncritically worship technoscience religiously.

I've been musing a bit about how the recent hollowing out of America's scientific capacity and funding means that the only game left in town for at-scale knowledge production is Big Tech technoscience in the service of selling techno-fantasy surveillance and control products
