Conservatives deny things like climate change because it conflicts with their individualist "morality" (climate change = more regulation = "bigger" government.)
Liberals deny things like racial differences in intelligence and violent behavior because it goes against their egalitarian "morality."

Not always, but if done properly, includes a methodology of self correction.Is science always right?

In a sense, the question is meaningless. Even if they do AND know it, they're not going to admit it.Conservatives deny things like climate change because it conflicts with their individualist "morality" (climate change = more regulation = "bigger" government.)

No, not always; and sometimes you have to follow the money.

You have no idea whatsoever who the guy in the OP is, do you.
His name is Jonathan Haidt. He's a professor at NYU, and, while I disagree with his personal belief system (he's a moderate-liberal), he's legitimately fascinating, original, and capable of honestly assessing his own side as well as the other.
His Ted Talk, in particular, I highly recommend for anyone who actually wants to try to understand people they disagree with.
I believe David_N was referencing the actual OP of this thread. After all, he is a self-declared white nationalist. Presumably, David_N recognizes that the OP is using Jonathan Haidt's message as further justification for his own beliefs.
Then you are a prostitute.
Remember what Beavis and Butthead said about that --
- a whore does it for money
- a slut does it for free.

Theories are usually postulated with falsifiable predictions.
I.E. if this happens, the theory is invalidated.

This was funny to read. The Bible says it is the inerrant Word of God, and talk to any fervent Christian and they will tell you so and they'll have a spin to explain everything that may seem incorrect to others.I would say science is always right because it is self-correcting. ScientISTS might not always be right and IDEAS might not always be right, but because science is never absolute, because theories are always provisional, based on what we know today and not what we will learn tomorrow, science is always right in the long run.

And that is EXACTLY what you did here. You say science is never wrong, then you go on to spin how, when it is wrong, it's still not wrong. LOL, classic.
So, basically, science is your religion.
In theory, yes. In practicality, no. Religions change, albeit slowly and subtly, all the time trying to keep up with society.The difference between religion and science lies in the fact that religious beliefs are never changing dogma while science is a process of continuing advancement in understanding. The point being that if evidence indicates that what is understood to science requires revision, then the scientific method allows for that change in thinking. This is nothing like religion at all.
