I distrust nuclear power because the I loving Love Science-ists are into it, and their smug, cult-like, infintile trust in orthodoxy is profoundly annoying


I don't understand why people are so sure that now, in 2017, we have everything "right" and have unearthed all the hidden dangers in our technologies. In the 1950's it was considered fine to hose down children with DDT. The I loving Love Science people would have been sneering at any "backwards" person who asked if the potential drawbacks of DDT outweighed the benefits.

There's a perception that people used to be dumb (leeching, phrenology, etc.) and now we are "smart," when the reality is that people back then we're just doing the best they could with the information they had, same as us.

Not saying that nuclear power is bad, just that it's okay to believe in might be.
