Comment on Left's anti-science:

In the mid-90s you saw a lot of anti-science on the left. One branch of it was from radical cultural relativism that contended that science was just another social construct, a 'way of knowing' that had nothing more to do with reality than any other cultural system of myths or metaphysics. This viewed the ideas that things burned because of fire spirits equally valid as the idea that combustion involves things like oxidation, etc."
