    I never said science can’t be bad, Again, your myopic take is so fucking simplistic and surface level. You even admit to intentionally ignoring systemic reality as if it is inconsequential, which is fucking stupidity at its finest. Like, congratulations for stating the obvious: you need people to perform labor for something to happen. No fucking shit, Sherlock. Now that we have the obvious out of the way, maybe ask yourself why they are performing that labor and what are the system forces that drive thar labor to he performed in the first place?

    It isn’t about could the park be built, but would it have been built. The answer to that is no, it wouldn’t have been built in the first place if not for the driving forces of capitalism (represented by Hammond, the capitalist owner who had controlling authority over the park’s production) dictating the actions of those who actually labored in the production of the park. The park also couldn’t have been built without the engineers who constructed the subpar infrastructure or an IT tech to create and install the park’s faulty security system.

    Those engineers built the park the way they did because Hammond didn’t want to pay extra for fail-safes as noted in the book (i.e. the capitalist owner was driven by the profit incentive to neglect material conditions of the park) And the IT systems failed because Hammond decided to neglect staff pay, specifically Nedry, in favor of chasing the capitalist profit incentive. This same logic applies to the scientists who only conducted the research they were conducting because they were hired by Hammond to specifically do so.

    Again, please fucking learn to look beyond the surface and critically examine things. I know it’s difficult but you can do it if you actually try.

    And yes, bad science is being spouted from the white house. Did you never stop to think why RFK Jr was put in that position of authority to spout his bullshit from? Did it never occur that some people would be set to benefit from the spreading of misinformation? It’s explicitly so they can manipulate people into being okay with dismantling government functions so the oligarchy can pocket the savings from not having to spend government money on welfare.
